Who but Barkley can say this?

"If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don't break the law, you're not a good black person. It's a dirty, dark secret in the black community."

Uhm, dude, it's intelligentLY. ​Practice what you preach. Adverbs are your friend.

I've never thought Barkley spoke intelligent or intelligently.

He also made these statements. The man is clearly conflicted.

I want to be a politician. I think I understand how the system works, I think a lot of politicians are corrupt, and it’s about time we put some people in there who are going to look out for the majority of the people instead of the rich people

Poor white people and poor black people just don’t know how much they have in common. Rich people don’t give a damn about either group

My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them, ‘Hey, I’m rich’

I was asked for years about being a Republican, probably because most black people are Democrats. My mother heard it once and called me and said “Charles, Republicans are for the rich people.” And I said, “Mom, I’m rich

We don’t need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do

We all know he has a white fiancée. There was all this talk about he’s a Republican, which, there’s no information [about that] at all. I’m just trying to dig deeper as to why he has an issue. Because we did find out with Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods was like I’ve got black skin but don’t call me black. So people got to wondering about Tiger Woods early on.”

I have to admit, to me it seems like there is some obscure sports related back story that I'm not at all familiar with. I don't pay much attention to sports any more, even less to sports commentators, and even less to ESPN. I just question the relevance of all this. I pay much more attention to people in the scientific community like Neil Degrasse Tyson, as do many people of all races. The sports world is a big ahole conglomerate no matter what race you are talking about.

I'm conflicted, what was the point of the thread?
