Eh. I saw folks clamoring for Beyonce & Jay-Z to open their mouths about issues for years and we all know Beyonce borderline retarded & Jay dropped out of high-school.

Hell, I just saw people asking Selena Gomez and Iggy Azalea to support Black Lives Matter.

People are asking any and all celebrities to "use their voices", even if their idiots or not even Black.

Hell, people asking Kim Kardashian about that shyt too. It's embarrassing

You can find people eating horse shyt on the internet. It doesn't mean it speaks for a body or group of people.

People really arent asking what Ja Rule (Charles Barkley) has to say about shyt.

THIS.

THIS, THIS, THIS.


Folks on here are getting it misconstrued that Charles in the media is a fairly recent issue.
Like Walt said at the beginning of the article, The "I am not a role model" commercial was two decades ago,
(which wasn't the only commercial he did for Nike) and it was largely made because of how outspoken
he was back then even about stuff that nobody asked him that doesn't matter.

This is a man who said in a post-game interview once: "if all babies are pretty, how come there are so many
ugly people in the world?" That didn't have a thing to do with the game he just played, and no babies were in sight.


Charles Barkley is a dream for television because he is a person who'll blurt out anything, which is why i'm surprised
he never had a show like this before. So the most interesting thing to me about this show is - of all times this could
have happened - why now, when it seems this is arguably the most volatile time in our nations' history to address
race relations in public?

:russ: Who the fukk is that?

Asking celebrities (who profit off black culture) to simply point out the obvious, (#BlackLivesMatter) isn't quite the same as asking them to speak on black issues.
