Should Charles Barkley have defended Doug Gottlieb after ‘white man’s’ comment?

Charles Barkley defends Doug Gottlieb after ‘white man’s perspective’ comment (Video)

Doug Gottlieb tried to make a joke during CBS’ broadcast of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night, and he ended up hearing nothing but crickets and Twitter outrage. If he could do it over, I’m sure Gottlieb would take back his comment about bringing the “white man’s perspective” to CBS’ panel of tournament analysts. He later apologized.

“It was not a smart thing to say and I apologize,” Gottlieb said according to the Associated Press.

However, Charles Barkley was not offended. After catching wind of the way Gottlieb was being torn apart on Twitter and other social media sites, Barkley decided to take a few moments to defend his colleague later in the broadcast.

“He made a joke earlier tonight,” Barkley said. “All those people on Twitter who are going crazy, which I would never ever do, listen me Kenny, Greg Anthony, and Greg Gumbel didn’t take that personally so all you people at home who’ve got no life who are talking bad about Doug Gottlieb get a life. It’s no big deal.”

people are too stupid these days to realize a bad joke and an offensive joke are not always the same thing

 

[Ice Cold]

Heh I thought it was funny I don't really see what ppl are outraged about, we can't acknowledge race anymore?

 

[Primetime21]

I don't have a problem with what he said but I don't see the point in him saying it either. The only funny thing was how corny it was

always get extra cautious when around someone who start talking this BS. Dudes be trying to piggyback their rhetoric on other non-related issues for the purpose of conditioning

You're right, Gottlieb's joke will cause the economy to slide further downward, race riots in inner city schools and widespread political corruption.

I thought the cause of that would've been the presidency of the marxist dictator Obama
