One Thing To Think It, One To Believe It True...

... but, especially after Donald Sterling and the situation in Atlanta, another to say it, Sir Charles!!!

In response to that Russell Wilson is perceived (at least by reports) by some of the Seattle Seahag Legion of Thug Boom not to be Black enough, Sir Charles had this to say:

“For some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you're not a thug or an idiot, you're not black enough,” Barkley said. “If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don't break the law, you're not a good black person.”

“There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don't have success,” he continued. “It's best to knock a successful black person down because they're intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school and they're successful … It's just typical B.S. that goes on when you're a black, man.” He also described the situation as ”a dirty, dark secret.”

As my neighborhood will tell you, there are many similar White people too.  But, that said, oh boy...  I could see some real problems with this in the NBA offices, Mr. Barkley.
