Charles Barkley: "MLK never spoke about black rights, but about civil rights"

I used to look forward to that shyt more than some of the games and now I just can't stand to watch it anymore. I just don't understand why Chuck even felt the need to veer into social commentary. He was doing just fine as the "no fukks given" inappropriate uncle that said funny shyt and wasn't even trying to say anything of worth when it came to basketball let alone society at large. What was the point of changing that? I could take it if he educated himself and tried to make sense and have a valid basis. But this guy does the same shyt with real shyt that he did with basketball...fly off the cuff and relish in ignorance. If you are gonna take it upon yourself to discuss real shyt, you take it upon yourself to know what the fukk you are talking about.

"One is astonished in the study of history at the recurrence of the idea that evil must be forgotten, distorted, skimmed over. We must not remember that Daniel Webster got drunk but only remember that he was a splendid constitutional lawyer. We must forget that George Washington was a slave owner, or that Thomas Jefferson had mulatto children, or that Alexander Hamilton had Negro blood, and simply remember the things we regard as creditable and inspiring. The difficulty, of course, with this philosophy is that history loses its value as an incentive and example; it paints perfect men and noble nations, but it does not tell the truth." -WEB Dubois

Does Barkley ever say the correct things? Such a tap dancing fool. And people always want to give the biggest fools a platform like this.
That's because people didn't learn the TRUE nature. It's our duty in this generation to make sure our children & future generations know the TRUTH about Dr. King, Ali, & the rest of the Civil Rights Movement. We can't allow them to whitewash our history.

he isnt even a good basketball analyst.
HAHAHAHA
I hardly ever watch this show anymore. But I started watching yesterday because I was getting ready for the Cavs/Warriors game and they were at the new Smithsonian African American History Museum. I listened to about 5 min of their bullshyt and just turned it off. I don't want to hear shyt these fools have to say about race. Totally whitewashing that shyt. Kenny had the nerve to say something like, "It's a good thing love conquered racism because we couldn't match their hate." (paraphrasing). I wanted to jump thru the screen. I was mad at myself for turning that shyt on.

He's correct, of course. MLK wasn't just upset that black people couldn't sit in the front of the bus, he was upset that white people were not allowed to sit in the back. He recognized the reverse racism of not being able to comfortable sit in the back of a bus to make stupid faces at tailgating mothers driving their kids to school.
