funny you say that, b/c you clearly have notta clue what ur talking about.
In the last several years, Barkley has made statements such as "I don't know if slavery was really that bad", and that he agreed with the verdict in the Mike Brown & Trayvon Martin shooting.
Many black ppl have cast him and his opinions on anything completely aside.

In 2014, when Barkley was asked about the rumor that Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was being accused for not being "black enough" on the radio show Afternoons with Anthony and Rob Ellis, he said:
Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we're never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you're black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It's a dirty, dark secret; I'm glad it's coming out. One of the reasons we're never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you're not a thug or an idiot, you're not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don't break the law, you're not a good black person. And it's a dirty, dark secret. There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don't have success. It's best to knock a successful black person down because they're intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they're successful... We're the only ethnic group who say, 'Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.' It's just typical BS that goes on when you're black, man.[88]

According to him, blacks are oppressed by white people, but instead of saying it directly, it is implied. Blacks can never be successful. He is an racist. I get so tired of people blaming others for their lot in life.
