Jack's Enclave - Charles Barkley on Zimmerman
Return To Archive

This is the headline I've seen most often: "Charles Barkley Says He Agrees with the Zimmerman Verdict"

I have also seen a few like the one from blackatlantastar.com: "Memo to Charles Barkley: Shut Up On Zimmerman Verdict"

But the one I like best comes from cnsnews.com: Barkley on Zimmerman: "It Gives Every White Person and Black Person Who's Racist a Platform".

Due to media and activists treatment of the Zimmerman trial this observation by Mr. Barkley is spot-on and would have held true regardless of the verdict.

Sir Charles, a man I have not always agreed with but have always respected, I salute you.

July, 2013
"But it was a bad situation, like I said. The main thing I feel bad about is that it gives every white person and black person whose racist a platform to vent their ignorance." - Charles Barkley
