Charles Barkley
This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.
Charles Barkley
They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.

Sometimes I have to criticize guys to try to make it fun, I mean, I'm out there trying to bust other people. I want all these guys to do well, but when they do something stupid or don't play well, I try not to kill 'em, I try to make 'em laugh a little bit.
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 can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan.
Charles Barkley
Hakeem couldn't kick your ass cause you were too close, kissing his!
Charles Barkley
My message is simple: take control of your life
Charles Barkley
But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.
Charles Barkley
He'll never be Jordan. This clearly takes him out of the conversation. He can win as much as he wants to.
Charles Barkley
