More quotes by Charles Barkley
I like to help poor people who got no chance. If rich people don't, who will? Not other poor people, that's for sure.
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
If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.
Charles Barkley
I want her to understand that it's going to be a factor in her life. I just want her to know that (racism) does exist, and I want her to always be diligent, and if she sees it, address it and fight it.
Charles Barkley
Poor people have been voting for Democrats for the last 50 years and they're still poor.
Charles Barkley
Any professional league that goes on strike right now - that's just suicide.
Charles Barkley
I'm not a role model.
Charles Barkley
I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
Charles Barkley
I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Parents have to take better control.
Charles Barkley
I don't know anything about Angola, but Angola's in trouble.
Charles Barkley
Every time I hear the word conservative it makes me sick to my stomach.
Charles Barkley
They always try to make it like jocks discriminate against gay people. I've been a big proponent of gay marriage for a long time, because as a black person, I can't be in for any form of discrimination at all.
Charles Barkley
If ifs were gifts, every day would be Christmas.
Charles Barkley
This place? Nothing positive. OK, I want to say something positive. It's positively a dump.
Charles Barkley
We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
Charles Barkley
I remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, 'Yeah. I'm going to retire.' They said, 'Well, we'll give you $9 million.' And I said, 'You got a pen on you?'
Charles Barkley
It ain't like we're curing cancer or anything, we're watching basketball.
Charles Barkley
You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right.
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
Christian is going to be the strongest man in the NBA next year, because all he's been doing all summer is carrying around the luggage for 11 guys.
