More quotes by Charles Barkley
Most sportswriters don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Charles Barkley
There's only 5 real jobs in the world. Teacher, fireman, policeman, doctor and somebody who is in the armed service. If you don't have one of those 5 jobs, you shouldn't take your life that serious.
Charles Barkley
Poor white people and poor black people just don't know how much they have in common. Rich people don't give a damn about either group.
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
My wife's married. I'm not.
Charles Barkley
To me, there's only 5 real jobs in America: Police Officers, Teachers, Firefighters, Doctors, and the Military Service.
Charles Barkley
If all babies are so cute, how the hell do we have so many ugly people in the world?
Charles Barkley
This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.
Charles Barkley
Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.
Charles Barkley
What does politically correct mean? If you're fat, don't ask me if you're fat, because I'm gonna tell you the truth. You're fat.
Charles Barkley
I'm not paid to be a role model, parents should be role models.
Charles Barkley
I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola's in trouble.
Charles Barkley
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
I played against him (Wilkins) in college. Getting nominated with him, that's pretty cool.
Charles Barkley
Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.
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.
Charles Barkley
Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cause you were too close, kissing his!
Charles Barkley
Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season.
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
I'm just what America needs: another unemployed black man. (on his retirement from basketball)
