Charles Barkley doubles down on Ferguson: ‘We as black people, we have a lot of crooks’
Washington Times ^ | December 3, 2014 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Charles Barkley of NBA fame said he’s not backtracking on his earlier characterization of Ferguson violent rioters and looters as “scumbags” — and moreover, the grand jury was quite right in not indicting policeman Darren Wilson.

...

“We, as black people, we have a lot of crooks,” he said, CNN reported. “We can’t just wait until something like [the Brown shooting] happens. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror. There is a reason that they racially profile us in the way they do. Sometimes it is wrong. and sometimes it is right.”

...

“To be burning peoples’ property, burning police cars, looting peoples’ stores,” he said, CNN reported, “that is 100 percent ridiculous.”

Charles Barkley is one of those men who prove it is not about skin color.

What? Rule of law again?

Obama gets a pass from the media and Republicans.

Why shouldn’t his constituency?

All races have crooks. And I’m sure it’s proportional.
It is the culture that would expose or shield them.

I remember when he played for the 76'ers.

On the off night when he wasn't playing and the Flyers were you could find him in the stands. Was really great about giving kids autographs in between periods.

Some portions of that pie are a lot more “proportionate. The truth is evident to those who will view it objectively but it’s going to piss the guilty parties off.

Barkley’s always been a loose cannon with a big mouth and he’s not afraid to speak his mind. The truth of what he’s saying is known to almost every person over 16 in the world including and especially blacks. They just think it and never say it.

Criminality among races is far from proportional.

For example, young black men murder at 14 TIMES the rate of young white men. 1,400% more.
