Hold Blacks More Accountable For Their Actions

HOOPS legend Charles Barkley says he definitely plans to run for governor of Alabama, but wants no campaign help from rabble-rousers like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. “I don’t believe in them. They always play the race card, and you can’t always play the race card,” the former Houston Rockets power forward tells next month’s Playboy. “Sometimes the race card is needed but not in every situation. We have to hold blacks more accountable for their actions.

Hallelujah...Hallelujah… Alabama!


If my place in Gulf Shores AL didn’t fly away to Oz so often I’d move back just to vote for this guy

I don’t share the enthusiasm. “Sometimes the race card is needed, but not always”....ugh.


Obama/Biden is not change. It’s more of the same.

As I recall, “Sir Charles” who attended Auburn, is a registered Republican.  Bob Riley has 2 more years on his second term are governor, and has said he’d like to retire back to Ashland “with a couple hundred head of cattle.” Barkley’s opportunity could be right around the corner.

I think a great place to announce your canidacy as a Republican is Playboy.

Charles is bright and funny, but there are way too many skelatons in that closet for him to win that election.

Sir Cumference: 

“The word conservative means discriminatory practically. It’s a form of political discrimination. What do the Republicans run on? Against gay marriage and for a war that makes no sense. A war that was based on faulty intelligence. That’s all they ever talk about. That and immigration. Another discriminatory argument for political gain.”

“I was a Republican until they lost their minds,” Barkley said.


“If a conservative is still a republican after the last 13 years, he is blind to the fact that his party of choice has failed him utterly.” – Realitybasedbob

RBB’s got a great point.  Sir Charles’ political views are informed, so to speak, not only by Bill Cosby, but also by Rev. Jackson, and hence I don’t know that he’s got a cohesive worldview that is capable of taking a ballplayer to the governnor’s mansion. 

Or at least, from what I’ve seen so far, it shouldn’t.

Lestat,

Not terribly familiar with Alabama, are you?

BB,

What you call “a cohesive world view” is not a requirement.  Bob Riley actually has a well-considered, and cohesive world view, but I can guarantee you that is NOT what got him elected… or re-elected.  Nor, for that matter, did it help any of his predecessors in that office.
