More quotes by Charles Barkley
I think it sucks that in our country [the USA] there is such a double standard education-wise. Which part of the city you live in, or something like that, determines if you'll be successful, and that's not fair.
Charles Barkley

It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.
Charles Barkley
But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.
Charles Barkley
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.
Charles Barkley
If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.
Charles Barkley
It's kinda great to see the Celtics doin well again cuz that was so much fun in my day to go to the Boston Garden and they spit at you and throw things at you and talk about your mom. It sounds like dinner at Kenny Smith's house.
Charles Barkley
Only poor people go to jail.
Charles Barkley
I'm never embarassed.
Charles Barkley
We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
Charles Barkley
Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter's old enough to take care of that herself.
