Like others have said OP, you're reaaaaally reaching if you think this is a liberal issue.

This looks like a couple of dudes cracking fat jokes in the wrong medium. Barkley wasn't factually wrong, we do have some enormous women in Texas. But in this country if you say what you feel, joking or not, prepare to catch heat.

And fukk anyone who compares this to Sterling. Not even close. They have big women vs. Don't bring blacks to the game.

bytch please

They're only bringing up Sterling because they're trying to portray black people as insensitive or discriminatory so that white people can say "See! They discriminate too." It's so damn petty. Especially since the running jokes about San Antonio women have gone on for a few years now.

Just like that Michael Jordan article that came out recently where they said that he "hated white people as a teen". It's all part of the deflection game.

Now this gif has a whole new meaning.

You don't have to be a male or a Black person to realize the absurdity in comparing Sterling to Charles Barkey in this case....

I think you have a lower opinion on females and their ability to rationalize than I do..

Women very literally live in a different world than we do. Their goalposts of rationality aren't the same as ours. We're just different. We have different circumstances and expectations.

You actually do have to be both black and male to see the author's comparison as *absurd* ... a black woman might merely see it as stupid or ridiculous, while in turn a white woman might see it as a small stretch of analogy. What's real to us isn't real to them.

Our sense of proportion of how important a comment on a woman's weight is is different to a woman's sense of proportion as far as the importance of the comment. Likewise, our sense of proportion of how much weight to give the comments of a racist owner in a sport we love is different to a woman's sense of proportion to give to them. She might see the wider societal implications of Sterling's comments, but she also sees the wider societal implications of women and their sense of beauty.

Shaq, Charles Barkley Mock Fat Women: San Antonio Is A 'Gold Mine For Weight Watchers' | ThinkProgress




By Annie-Rose Strasser May 7, 2014 at 9:17 am Updated: May 7, 2014 at 9:17 am



The hosts of TNT’s basketball analysis show Inside The NBA strayed far from conversation about sports on Tuesday night’s broadcast. In a segment between the two major playoff games last night, former All-Star MVP Charles Barkley mocked overweight women at length, joking that the city of San Antonio was a “gold mine for weight watchers.”

Barkley was prompted by co-host Kenny Smith, another retired NBA player, who asked, “what kind of women are in San Antonio?”

“Big old women down there,” Barkley replied to extensive laughter from his fellow hosts on Tuesday, who aside from Smith include Shaquille O’Neal and Ernie Johnson. “That’s a gold mine for Weight Watchers.” (Barkley himself is a spokesperson for Weight Watchers.) He later added, “Victoria’s definitely a secret. They can’t wear no Victoria’s Secret down there,” and “they wear big old bloomers down there, ain’t nothing skimpy down in San Antonio.”

Barkley went on and on as his co-hosts egged him on, asking, “they have spandex down there in San Antonio?” and “it’s a gold mine — it’s a gold mine.”




Barkley has made similar comments before. In 2013, he told the same group, “I think if I opened up a food truck just for the San Antonio week I could make a gold mine in a week. Them big ole women down there.”

It’s disappointing that, just weeks after the NBA was in uproar over the racist and womanizing ways of disgraced Clippers owner Donald Sterling, no one on the broadcast seemed interested in cutting off an offensive conversation. While their discussion is obviously not on the same level — and indeed will be interpreted by many as all in good fun — it does show a general lack of sensitivity on an issue that could be easily avoided. And it comes from some of the most outspoken critics of Sterling during last month’s debacle.

Only at one point did Johnson feebly try to change the subject, asking, “Why does every conversation about San Antonio eventually come around to women?” He also eventually led the conversation away from women and toward mocking San Antonio’s famed river walk.

Barkley’s comments drew scorn from at least a few NBA fans, including another sports reporter, host of ESPN’s SportsNation and San Antonio-area native Michelle Beadle, who tweeted this picture of the woman Donald Sterling was talking to in the tapes of his racist comments:

this gotta do with politics

Humor is all about being irreverent and often times that involves being insensitive and offending people. Obviously there are limits that should not be crossed. There also needs to be a limit to offense as well. Did anyone write an article about Kenny making fun of Kevin Hart's height or Kevin Hart (and numerous comedians) making fun of Shaq's eye or the way that he and Charles speak? shyt they made fun of Chuck's weight last night (among other nights) too.

Men are sensitive about money and dikk size...that's about it. I see women in movies on tv and in music shytting on dudes with no paper or little dikks all the time.

Okay im fine with this. But who sets these lines/limits tho?

I look at it like...For example, black american comedians make fun of all races and nationalities including themselves. Good. But Some of the shyt black comedians are allowed to say about other races, none of these other races would dare say about blacks. I guess in a way that's our "privilege" to some degree.

So is it up to these black comedian to set what others should tolerare from them or leave it to the person being discussed to express their outrage AFTER the damage is done.

Think Progress is a liberal blog...


It's like when someone on Drudge Report writes a piece about Obama's birth certificate or Ludacris being a gangster rapper the general reaction is "This is why people don't take conservatives seriously"

It seems like a pretty simple concept..

So people don't take conservatives seriously because of their racism.

People don't take Liberals seriously because they think its offensive to be mean to fat people?

 

[OG Talk]

Black people shouldn't take Conservatives seriously because of their blatant racism.

Black people shouldn't take Liberals seriously because of their covert racism

Fixed and yes...

I think enabling has more to do with obesity in america than fast food.

Fixed and yes...

You know my friend ... Liberal and Conservative describe different parts of the American political spectrum.

If they don't take someone "Liberal" or "Conservative" seriously, who should they take seriously? You realize that Liberal and Conservative denote social views? On social issues, you must be either Liberal or Conservative, otherwise you're just totally apathetic.
