Charles Barkley On Zimmerman Trial: "I Agree With The Verdict"
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/07/18/charles_barkley_on_zimmerman_trial_i_agree_with_the_verdict.html
CHARLES BARKLEY: Well, I agreed with the verdict. I feel sorry that young kid got killed. But they didn't have enough evidence to charge him. Something clearly went wrong that night. Clearly something went wrong. I feel bad for anybody who loses a kid, but if you looked at the case and you don't make it -- there was some racial profiling, no question about it. But something happened that changed the dynamic of that night, and I know -- that's probably not a popular opinion among most people but just looking at the evidence I agreed with the verdict.
I just feel bad because I don't like when race gets out in the media because I don't think the media has a pure heart, as I call it. There are very few people have a pure heart when it comes to race. Racism is wrong in any, shape, form -- a lot of black people are racist too. I think sometimes when people talk about racism, they say only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist. I don't like when it gets out there in the media because I don't think the media has clean hands.
MARIA BARTIROMO, CNBC: I'm glad you made that point.
BARKLEY: Obviously I feel sorry that young kid got killed but just judging by the evidence, I don't think that guy should have went to jail the rest of his life. Something happened bad that night, obviously.
Charles Barkley is right on this one. Of course he gets attacked.

Hurling racial slurs at another Black person. There is a lot of bigotry and racism in the Black community and it is at each other.

Projecting are we? :mental: :bird:
Surprised that Charles Barkley was called the n-word many times as compared to Larry Elder.

Why would anyone care what Sir Charles has to say on the verdict? ???

At least he's not falling in with the mind-numbed robots that only want revenge.
Other than that, I don't care, but Barkely does seem like a genuinely nice guy.

Agreed. Have always kind of heard that about him.

Hope this turns up on DU. I need a fresh supply of racial epithets.

Why is it that blacks have more animosity towards interracial marriage than whites do?

No, they're not. It's the same shit coming out of a new asshole (meant both ways).

Not that his opinion matters, but didn't many of those tweeters make his point about racism? The rabid shits will never own up to the blood on their hands though. I was discussing this with my guy the other day and what I'm convinced of is that much of the problem with our society is largely due to pride. Lots of these people have to know or get and inkling their opinion is ridiculous but they are far too prideful to back off it. They'd rather stand by the pile of shit they speak then just acknowledge they were wrong and move on.

They have a very tight grip on a very empty bag. And because of the sin and problem of pride you pointed out, they will resent you for pointing that out, whilst tightening their grip on their empty bag.
