    Barkley gets it! To me, this is one of the best quotes I've heard about this whole situation:

    “I just feel bad because I don’t like when race gets out in the media ‘cuz I don’t think the media has a ‘pure heart,’ as I call it,” Barkley continued. “There are very few people who have a pure heart when it comes to race. Racism is wrong in any shape [or] form — there are a lot of black people who are racist, too. I think sometimes when people talk about race, they act like only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist. And I don’t like when it gets out there in the media because I don’t think the media has clean hands.”

    I would have to say watching Charles during the ncaa tourney was just horrible. However, the quote is correct, maybe Charles is educated.

    Like him or not, Charles is generally spot on with his in game announcing, opinions, and apparently, situations like these.

    Being originally from Philly I have always liked Charles Barkley. He tells you how it is whether you want to hear what he has to say or not. There has not been many things I have heard him say and think WTH. I definitely like when he is on the Dan Patrick show :)
