Give some examples of the points he's made that you agree with?
He made valid points about self help, but his comments about black people not thinking about Confederate Statues being lorded over them is just wrong and undoubtedly the view of a self-hating Negro like Charles Barkley.
It's Charles Barkley.
Waisting time on statues. Creating our own and stop being consumers is more important
So, a person can't deal with the issues of the statues and still accomplish those thing?
I never seen any of those shits to worry about them...... But I don't live in those backwood hickville towns either. Barkley has said some out of touch things in his life. What he said here is "ok".
You can but overall knocking down statues is only for personal gratification and does not really do much for blacks other than that.
I don't think we've said anything, because of white supremacy
We've accepted certain things, because we aren't in the position of power and a lot of us don't think we can change things...and we don't expect them to change
So if the statues don't matter....it doesn't matter if they're there or not
You can't have it both ways
You can't say well they shouldn't matter to black people
...but that means it matters to us
If you know something offends someone, if you respect them, you take away what is offensive to them
But white people...they do it constantly with black people and native americans
Germany, do they long for Hitler Germany...have statues for soldiers?
You can't say we're American. We're one America. When the Civil War is everything but that. It's a bunch of loser traitors. Does England have George Washington statues?
I am not saying personal gratification is not important because having e a piece of mind is worth a lot.
But tearing them down does nothing against our fight with white supremacy.
It's part of it
Because the mental chains still are there
It says something when you're sending your kid to a school named after a general who fought to keep you uneducated and in chains
We need to erase all of that....fuck their statues
I can agree with this
That's an opinion based on what? It's a lot deeper that's 'just' a monument and the fact that it has had such a major impact on racial relations and tensions prove that.
To lessen the impacts of how this act affects the masses and the landscape is a very narrow minded view and that more than anything doesn't serve a positive purpose either. The mentality Barkley portrays and the one that you are cosigning is similar to the 'we understand Colin's viewpoint but he should do it another way' a lot of these CACs and Coonish black people are spewing.
Things have to be done in stages tho. Nothing happens in one single swoop, all change is progressive. These statues mean something to THEM which actually gives credibility to this approach. This battle is going to be won in many states, mental and physical, and what we saw last week was one of the first times when they were mentally shook and disturbed by something.
This had greater impact than any rally or riot we've had by them so far, it got their fucking attention, and CACs in their own race are also publicly speaking against this shit so it's also causing division in their own camps. They could give too shits about a march or speeches after a black man gets unjustly killed because it doesn't impact them directly. They probably look at their tv screens laughing at us reacting when they've already taken the life. Fuck with something dear to them tho.... Fucks with their minds...
Yeah, because Charles Barkley is the leader of leaders to let me know what i should invest my time in. As said above, if the statues don't matter then it shouldn't matter whether they're up or not. History teachers all over the USA should be revising some lesson plans, since it appears obvious how oblivious and ignorant people have been and are to this. Oh yeah, and fuck Charles Barkley.
The brotha had a good well thought out counter argument that made sense. So I gave him props for contributing to the dialog
Barkley quotes:
1. "We need to stop killin' each other"
2. "We need to find a way to have more economic opportunity"
I feel him on that.

I actually agree with some of what he said.
Spend less time at those protest, wasting your time day dreaming about some "melting pot" or impeachment of Trump. Your time could be better served in your communities among other Black folks.
Also, Black folks werent worried about no damn statues prior to all these protest. I saw Black folks flipout when they saw White folks with Confed. Flags on T shirts and shit, but for the most part, Black folks werent worried about that trivial shit. Especially since we have bigger things to worry about.
A lot of this shit is either fake or temporary outrage. From White and Black folks. I dont know why some of yall are scared to admit it.
The mass majority of us dont kill each other. So "talking about violence" is pointless, from my pov. Violence is an issue, but thats no where near being one of our BIGGEST issues.
The shit he and you are talking about is just typical street shit; that ANYONE can experience if they get involved in it. Once u fix the economic base, get your mind right etc, all that other stuff will fall in line.

THIS^^^^
Also, I find it a bit annoying when some 'black' people bring up counter points which have absolutely NOTHING to do with the situation at hand to undermine an issue. That though process is part of the reason why we will never be able to fully have a united front on anything. As much as I hate those CACs, those motherfuckers organized a protest with people from all over the fucking country and made a lot of fucking noise to get their point across....
We on the other hand have loud mouth coons like Barkley and people cosigning this nonsense Attempting to lessen the impacts of shit, bringing up other points which have absolutely nothing to do with the issues at hand, all the while present a 'see, I am a safe black man' image to CACs. Fuck Barkley and this weak ass can't we all just get along bullshit....
I swear that's the most annoying shit ever
Bruh we spend NO time on protests, unless we are REACTING to shit. We are NEVER proactive in anything we do and we did not initiate this shit in Charlottesville....
The fake outrage is the weak ass responses to police brutality and shit, which for the most part is used as a photo op and a chance to grandstand until the topic of the day cools down.
When was the last time there was a public display or protest concerning Trayvon Martin? Michael Brown? Why is that? Because nobody cares anymore. If it was for the Kaepernick situation we wouldn't even be talking about police brutality....
It's the weak minded approach to shit that Barkley is spewing which is the reason those mitherfucker so don't take us seriously. They know they can fuck with us, and we will give some speeches for about a week and then stfu.....
Dude that's some of the most pathetic weak ass CAC apologist rhetoric I've ever heard...
Man.. I'm so fucking glad that some of yall were born well after the Civil Rights movement. For real. 
Some ol..."Back of the bus is fine, shit don't affect me.. still getting to the same destination!" ass niccas
Some ol..."Back of the bus is fine, shit don't affect me.. still getting to the same destination!" ass niccas
From my position, its not about "shit not affecting me", its more so about addressing the shit accordingly. I do that by making sure my shit is in order, money health mind etc, and making sure the people around me are on the same page.
Getting involved in all these random "I Love or Hate Donald Trump protest" aint doing shit for me or Black folks as a whole.
The anger aint about Womens rights, Muslims, White Supremacist etc, the anger is about Trump. Once Trump is gone, all that other shit will still be here, White folks will calm down and Black folks will still be on the back burner.
Seems like some folks get caught in moments and forget how the game goes in this country.
Nothing is really NEW tho!
Plenty of Black people have been addressing Police misconduct since Police misconduct has existed. White Supremacist have been doing there thing since forever.
The media is just now covering all of this because theyre in the business of creating red herrings and confusement, not because they care.
My comment was more so directed at all these NEW PEOPLE who seem to lose focus once shit is no longer trending on Twitter. I see no problem with calling people out. Calling them out can sometimes help them.
As for Black folks, a lot of us are detached. When we make it to certain positions in life we feel as if we're exempt. No one really cares until it hits closer to home. Until then, we just live in our bs comfort zones.

No doubt, but these things are being addressed on an individual sporadic level, nothing organized or impaxtful.
You overall points ate spot on tho, which to me makes people like Barkley, Shaq, etc. even more annoying...
