Epoch Times:
Charles Barkley, a former NBA star and now an NBA analyst on TNT, said after the Democratic presidential candidate debate on July 30 that political parties have been neglecting economic opportunities for black Americans. He also added that most black people he knows who have always voted Democratic are “still poor.”
In 2017, Barkley remarked that Democrats have “taken the black vote and the poor vote for granted for a long time,” and that “this is a wakeup call for Democrats to do better for black people and poor white people.”
When Barkley was asked on July 30 whether he felt that “it’s different this time around,” he replied, “I do not.”
“I think all politicians take black folks for granted,” he told a Yahoo News reporter at the Fox Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, after the debate. “They talk to black folks every four years, and that’s about it, and then do nothing about it.”
“And both parties suck in that aspect, and that is not a Republican or Democratic thing, not a liberal or conservative thing. It’s an economic thing. Economic opportunity. And that’s what both parties’ been neglecting, especially the Democratic Party,” Barkley continued.

SNIP:
Doesn’t he sound scared to leave the Democrat party?
[Perhaps he wants Socialism, based on his support of Castro and Buttigieg.]
Barkley complains about the shit stew, but he keeps returning to it himself.
And by the way, Trump is not neglecting the economy.
Keep reading, there are also good observations by Larry Elder and Candace Owens.
DATS RACIST!
OT
Any info on which,if any, FakeNews channels will give equal Time and broadcast the Presidents Rally?
What more does he want America to do for blacks? Priority in federal contracts, hiring, college admission, etc. isn’t enough? Handing over the most valuable cities in America isn’t enough? What more does he want? When will we have “served” the African community right? How much does white America have to sacrifice?
Blacks are 13% of the US population but over 50%of th federal workforce?
Political party’s do not “owe” anything to any one group to the exclusion of another group, citizens are owed the industry and representation of their elected officials equally.
We are so far removed from the vision of Dr. King, a colorblind society, it’s not even funny. Naturally, I blame the left for their identity politics and concerted efforts to divide and sow discord.
People are helped the most when they are helped collectively and this president is doing just that. His economic policies are lifting all boats, Barkley should acknowledge that.
the democRATs dirty, little secret is that they are leaving the Blacks in the dust and starting yet a nuther new plantation of illegals with big promises of “Free” Shit paid for by hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding Americans!!
Wise up Buckwheat!
Why does a tool box, these days, have a D on it??
I WISH THE BLACKS WOULD STOP IGNORING THE BLACKS
….and stop ignoring their communities, stop ignoring education, stop ignoring government step-up opportunities, stop ignoring very wealthy black athletes with tons of money to donate.
It bugs the snot out of me to see black folks show up every 4 years like animals waiting to get fed. When whites aren’t promising huge hand-outs, they start complaining.
Do for yourselves, and stop waiting for the democrats to send out Brinks trucks filled with money to your neighborhood.
It’s a plantation, chuck. Wake up!
Why does duh gubbment be havin to be doin bettuhs fo some group?
