You’ve got to love NBA legend Charles Barkley for telling it like it is when it comes to blacks in America: most of them are brainwashed.

Barkley was interviewed on a Philadelphia radio station where he said, “One of the reasons we’re never going to be successful as a whole, because of other black people. And for some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you’re not a thug or an idiot, you’re not black enough.”

No one wants to talk about black-on-black crime or black-on-black anything but like Barkley, I’m happy to shout it from the rooftops:

“Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful, not because of you white people, but because of other black people. When you’re black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It’s a dirty, dark secret; I’m glad it’s coming out.”

The accusations of “you’re not black enough” are hurled the second any black person goes off-book from the Black Lives Matter script. I should know! Barkley does, too. He said, “If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don’t break the law, you’re not a good black person. And it’s a dirty, dark secret.”

Barkley continued:

“There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don’t have success, It’s best to knock a successful black person down because they’re intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they’re successful…We’re the only ethnic group who says, ‘Hey, if you go to jail, it gives you street cred.’ It’s just typical BS that goes on when you’re black, man.”

Tell me again how whites or the police are responsible for the life decisions of inner-city blacks?
