Former NBA star Charles Barkley recently called Ferguson looters "scumbags," praised police officers who work in black neighborhoods, and said he supports the decision made by the grand jury not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the Michael Brown shooting.
"The true story came out from the grand jury testimony," Barkley said, adding that he was made aware of "key forensic evidence, and several black witnesses that supported Officer Darren Wilson’s story..." He continued, "I can’t believe anything I hear on television anymore. And, that’s why I don’t like talking about race issues with the media anymore, because they (the media) love this stuff, and lead people to jump to conclusions. The media shouldn’t do that. They never do that when black people kill each other. "

Charles Barkley just painted a target on himself for speaking truth to power.
How long before the black elitists, thugs and harpies unleash the "Uncle Tom" epithet?
They'll be calling for his head in the same way they went after Rush Limbaugh. Don't be surprised if the NBA on TNT finds a reason to drop him.

United: Black Gun Owners Protect White Owned Business During Ferguson Riots By Matt Agorist on November 29, 2014
Ferguson, MO — A group of Ferguson residents who happened to have dark skin, armed with pistols and AR-15 rifles, descended upon a business which happened to be owned by a person with light skin.
These four men stood outside of this business, which was a Conoco gas station, to protect it from rioters and looters who burned other businesses to the ground over the past week in the St. Louis area.
The reason these four brave men protected this business had nothing to do with their skin color nor the skin color of the owner of the store.
These men were protecting the Conoco gas station owned by Doug Merello, because Merello has employed them over the years. They had mutual interests in the store’s survival as well as respect for one another.
“We would have been burned to the ground many times over if it weren’t for them,” Merellol, whose father first bought it in 1984, told the Review Journal.
“He’s a nice dude, he’s helped us a lot,” said one of the men, a 29-year-old who identified himself as R.J.
The Review Journal Reports that R.J. said they had to chase away several groups of teenagers who wanted to loot the store.
They also had a run in with soldiers from the Missouri National Guard, who mistook them for looters, R.J. said. The guardsmen had their rifles raised and had handcuffed one man before Merello came outside the store to explain that the residents were trying to help, not hurt.
This story should be on news media outlets across the country, but unfortunately it won’t be, for two reasons.
First reason being that it’s a story about transcending prejudice and racial stereotypes which breaks down the propped up charade that humans must be divided based on skin color and other “us vs. them” tactics.
The second reason is that it shows the true power of people policing themselves. Responsibly arming themselves and practicing their second amendment rights, these 4 men were able to do what thousands of national guardsmen, police and FBI were unable to do, prevent looting and damage to property.
When a black man speaks out against the narrative that the Leftist black hierarchy wishes to establish, that black man effectively becomes white. An Uncle Tom if you will.
This then makes it acceptable for those on the Left to attack him, take his job away, gerrymander his voting district so he'll lose his elected office and so on and so forth.
I think Barkley can hold his own on this. He knows the network needs him a lot more than he needs them. He's financially set for life, and is willing to tell them to shove it any time they like. He may be a bit of an A-hole, but he's shaping up.
"The word conservative means discriminatory practically. It's a form of political discrimination. What do the Republicans run on? Against gay marriage and for a war that makes no sense. A war that was based on faulty intelligence. That's all they ever talk about. That and immigration. Another discriminatory argument for political gain."- Charles Barkley

How about less than a day? I saw some thug apologist on TV stating Barkley hasn't lived in da hood in like forever, is financially well off, and thus has no idea what he's talking about.

Nobody's perfect. At the moment, I'm just happy to hear he doesn't buy the Ferguson BS. Baby steps...
