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.
All I can say is I’ve run into him actually on three different occasions and he is a very nice guy. I watched him try to have a meal at Hooters but couldn’t eat because people kept asking for his autograph and he would sign what they had. Not kidding, I was sitting at the table next to his (and his entourage)and I couldn’t take it anymore and jumped up and yelled very loudly, “Jesus, please let the man eat!!!”. He shook my hand on his way out and said “thanks for that, its hard to eat out sometimes”. This was the night before the Cowboys Eagles playoff game me and my friends were going to in 93. I ran into him at the game and he remembered me and invited me and my boys to his suite. It was awesome!!!! Oh yeah, Cowboys smoked the Eagles and went on to win the Superbowl. About a year later he was at a Rockets cheerleaders B-day party in the VIP bar at my friends enormous sports bar at the time and my buddy let me go in there. I was standing at the bar next to him and Sleepy Floyd and he remembered me again. He told the bartender “get us all a shot of your best tequila.” After the 3 of us did our shots the bartender leaned over and told me a just drank a $150 shot. That was very cool.
