Charles Barkey makes joke about hitting women. Reporter gets mad

[killacal]

I love when people use the "it was a joke" line for shyt that don't make any sense as a joke. At what point was I supposed to laugh?

Never, jokes don't connect well in the autistics brain

Wakeup call.

To be honest, her breaking an off the record agreement should be more damaging to her career as a journalist than this comment would be to Barkley’s career.

Was this “joke” supposed to be funny?

It’s Boomer Humor. It’s a style of comedy that goes back to The Honey Mooners show where he jokingly threatens to hit his wife at the end of each episode. Black and White Americans over the age of 50 use dark humor involving race and gender in a lot of their jokes. Because when they come of age, it was socially acceptable.



The irony here is the young woman making this complaint literally has “Send Me All Of Your Dad Jokes” as part of her Twitter bio.

Now she is trying to criminalize an older Black man for saying an inappropriate Dad joke off the record.

That's not a "dad joke" breh.

This broad would look like Don Flamenco

The two good sports shows in America have no women and that's not a coincidence.

Seems unprofessional and overly dramatic on her end if they were joking. If we're joking off record and you say something out of line, I'll check you and that's where it ends.

But Barkley is a buffoon and doesn't deserve my support with his antics. #HYON

Okay.

Charles said some silly shyt.
Ok

So what? What is the solution here? Get him fired and throw his life into turmoil?

If this woman had any heart she would have shrugged it off and told Charles he wouldn't do shyt either way.

Stand up for yourselves instead of being some whiny children.

He'll probably get a week "vacation" off TNT TOPS as punishment, but he shouldn't get any. To disclose off the record comments especially knowing how off the cuff Chuck can be is still shady. She's fukkin up her career in this industry just by exposing that kinda shyt. No one will want to talk to her and they'll EASILY find another decent looking broad to replace her WITH EASE.

It wasn't that serious obviously. A lot of this metoo shyt is starting to backfire because it's getting past absurd.

Yeah Charles is definitely not the type to make a martyr here. He’s said so much disrespectful shyt about Black folks that wasnt framed as a joke.

This seems like an example of buffoon on buffoon crime. Both parties seem impulsive and unprofessional. It is what it is.

She overplayed her hand by acting on her impulses....just like a typical woman

Chuck’s the man lol
