Charles Barkley Black Quotations

But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.

I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.

They don't let many black people in the governor's mansion in Alabama, unless they're cleaning.

Thank God for Jerry Springer's show. I thought only black folks were that screwed up until I watched Jerry Springer.

I got pulled over when I was behind the wheel of a Porsche in Philly once for what we call DWB - Driving While Black.

When I go around and I talk to young black kids, I really stress education. We've got this thing going on in black culture, where if you do well in school, you're considered acting white. If you use proper English, you're considered acting white. I say, 'We've got to get more kids acting white, then.' We want kids to speak proper English. We want them to get their education.

Dr. King would be No. 1 thrilled with the racial advances we've made, but he would be disappointed in the state of black America with all this black-on-black crime, teenage pregnancies, kids not getting an education.
