Charles Barkley Talks about a "dirty, dark secret in the Black Community" and it's not the White's Fault

By Elizabeth Nelson

I'm waiting for Barkley to be called "revolutionary" or "house negro" after he come out and outed his own and disclosed the, "dirty, dark secret in the Black community," and blaming his own "unintelligent," "brainwashed" African-Americans for "suppressing the black community" and not the "white man."  This flies in the face of Obama and what his own "stuck in the 60s pity me" community would have us believe.

While appearing on “Afternoons with Anthony Gargano and Rob Ellis,” Barkley was asked about a rumor that Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson was getting criticism from his black teammates for not being, quote, “black enough.”

Barkley went on a long monologue on the subject: ”Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.”

Barkley said that young black men who do well in school are accused of “acting white” by their peers.

“One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.”  Continue reading Daily Caller

Since when has the "thug life" become the acceptable lifestyle for the black youth and the educated, successful and contributing member of society a shameful place to set a goal? Since when? Since Obama made it cool and made success a four letter evil word.  Remember "you didn't build that," "the [evil] 1%ers] and, "I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money." The only thing the NAACP didn't see coming was the black man insulting and enslaving and oppressing their own, yet again, in the 21st century, "you're not black enough."  Even Jessie Jackson slammed Obama for "acting white" during his election.  What does "acting white" mean? Perhaps, holding yourself upright, with intelligent proper speech and not, "let me axe you a pacific quesion about your chirrin."

However, if WE had said Obama was "acting white", we'd be called racist.

What drives me nuts is, when I audit a company, I audit by one federal or state regulation.  This is also how I live my life. I live my life looking at everyone by one  standard - not based at the color of their skin but by the content of their character, so it angers me when I'm called a racist when a black man/woman is called "fresh/revolutionary" for saying the exact same thing that I was just called "racist" for. Whites are held to a higher standard than blacks, which unfortunately is their undoing, and Barkley is calling them out on it.  We aren't oppressing them, they are doing it to themselves, just as they enslaved their own.

Sir Walter Williams explains the racial double standard and what people thought they were doing when they voted for "black Obama" best:

It's sad how far we've slid, in Obama's racially divisive world.
