I haven’t always agreed with everything Barkley has said over the years, but he gets much right... and he hit this one dead-on.
I agree. Sometimes he says things that make me want to shake his hand, and then he says something else that makes me regret that I wanted to shake his hand!
That said, I give him a lot of credit as someone who watched him battle with Larry Bird way back when...at least he opens his mouth and says things that a black audience needs to hear from a black man.
As another poster stated, when a white person says those things as we do here on FR, we are branded as right-wing lunatic racists for speaking the honest truth.
When he speaks the truth, the left has a hard time branding him as a racist. The black community needs more men like him who will speak out.
I don’t think Barkley gives a rat’s a$$ who likes him or dislikes him, and it is refreshing to see that.
