The problem is that we white folk are told that we need to just sit down and shut up and give black folks what they want because we do not understand the black experience. It is a bunch of hooey but that is what we are told.
Then some honest black folks with some actual integrity comes along and says that in their black experience what the extreme far left are saying about what the black experience is just aint so. Charles Barkley for example.
the far left and a minority of black folks are demanding a change in white folks but just want us to sit down shut up and give them what they want because we do not understand the black experience.
Guess what. It aint going to be so. If we are going to work through problems in this country then we need to have honest conversations. In this case Barkley represents that.
Take for example the following from Barkley:
"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. "
Here he points out that there were actual witnesses before the grandjury that were black and gave testimony supporting Wilson's story. Yet when Sharpton and yes even Zaac talk about this that is never mentioned by them. Zaac wants to criticize everyone else for being partisan but he has been nothing but partisan on this issue. He wants any black person supporting officer Wilson dismissed and ignored.
Barkley goes on to say:
“[W]e have to be really careful with the cops, because if it wasn’t for the cops we would be living in the Wild, Wild West in our neighborhoods," he said. "We can’t pick out certain incidentals that don’t go our way and act like the cops are all bad.... Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops?”
Again more honesty and integrity from Barkley. Of course guys like Sharpton and Zaac who are partisan do not want to focus on the details of Barkley's comments. They just want them dismissed like in post number 4 of this thread. Those who are seeking to by pass reality always want the truth dismissed and are cut from the same cloth.
Let's take a look further at attempts to shut down honest conversations:
Charles Barkley is the modern day Uncle Tom and he just made every virulent Klan and hate group in America cheer.— Jeff Gauvin (@JeffersonObama) July 18, 2013
Charles Barkley is the laughing stock of the sports world....dumb as xxxx and well trained by his slave masters— Jeff Gauvin (@JeffersonObama) July 18, 2013
So?
Charles Barkley. Bill Cosby.
It's as though some of yall sit around waiting for a token black person to disagree with what you think the majority of blacks think, and then suddenly because the token black person agrees with you, then your POV has got to be right and their's has to be wrong. "
How about I say that Cher and Katy Perry, and Dan Savage and Kathy Griffin and Charlie Sheen and Seth Rogen are white and they disagree with Charles Barkley?
Should we make that a news story too? Does it give credence to the other POV since white celebrities are against the politically "conservative POV?
By the way the comparison to white celebrities makes no sense whatsoever.
