Maybe he felt guilty for saying a whole lot of crazy about black people. Or, maybe his co-stars from those hilarious “Road To The Final Four” commercials, Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson, put a bug in his ear. But whatever the reason, we are over the moon that former NBA baller Sir Charles Barkley is donating $1 million dollars to Morehouse College, the Historically Black College for men in Atlanta, GA.

The TNT analyst announced the gift during a media conference call for the American Century Championship’s celebrity golf tournament earlier this week.

During the call, Barkley, who reportedly just signed an 8 to 10 year extension with the TV show “Inside The NBA,” said, “I just got a new contract, and my goal is always to give a million dollars a year away to charity.”

In fact, “the round mound of rebound” announced $3 million in gifts that day (must have been a good contract). Barkley gave Lee and Jackson’s beloved Morehouse $1 million, and he also donated $1 million to his own alma mater, Auburn University. He also announced another $1 million to the Wounded Warriors project, a charity for veterans, saying, “I think it’s a joke the way they treat our soldiers.”

He did good. If only more athletes could do this.

Everyone wants to give back to their alma mater, which is cool and all, but they already get hundreds of thousands, if not millions annually from boosters.

HBCUs are the ones needing donations and support.

Whatever, all donations are good donations, I'm just being picky. Good for Chuck.

Yeah, you right.

We not calling #blackexcellence cause Barkley has a strong c00ning track record. He's just trying to undo is c00n image.

Did you get excited when Donal Sterling went to the black church after those tapes got leaked?
Did you get excited when Donald Sterling donated to the NAACP after those tapes leaked?

In other words, there are black people who still have integrity and can't be "bought out" and forget his past transgressions simply because a super rich man threw some peanuts at a HBCU.

Most HBCU's were started by cacs anyway so...

The D (where it's so cold)
he's balling like that ?

Chuck just recently resigned with TNT so I guess he's really getting those big money checks now. In the last month he's been paying for funerals, buying gifts, picking up the check for hockey players, cutting checks for historical black colleges.

Salute to CB34 for that TNT stimulus. Whatever he is or is not I don't see how anyone could not enjoy seeing this.
