When asked what we should do about the confederate statues, Barkley quipped: “I’m 54 years old. I’ve never thought about those statues a day in my life. If you ask most black people, they haven’t thought a day in their lives about those stupid statues.” --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

You get the same thing with native Americans and the Washington redskins. It's pretty far down the list of issues they'd like addressed to the point of it looking like a rich white person's attempt to do the easiest good they can rather than address more pressing problems.

I'm white and a southern hillbilly and I never gave them a single thought either.
The American Civil War is just something that happened a long time ago and has no meaning at this very moment. Like I'm pretty sure the blacks killing each other in Detroit, Chicago and Baltimore aren't doing it because of a war that happened like around a 155 years ago. --- The Evil Republicans - Est.2004 - WoT [Government Destabilizing Branch] ...

"Black people don't care about so it's ok.."....huh? The point is as a country the history of a group of men attempting to leave the United States and having slavery be one of the major factors in their reasoning is not one that should be celebrated. It's historic. It should be talked about. I don't think those people should be put on a pedestal, however. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think Charles Barkley is ACTUALLY the agreed upon spokesman for the African American community. I could be wrong though. 2. African Americans aren't the only "group" that are "offended". I think so, at least. Let's see what Charles Barkley has to say about other "groups" first. --- I guess I'm something of a ne'er do well. Pittsburgh ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a slippery slope that has people concerned (including the President). Many of the founding fathers were slave owners and overtly racist. One may have had sex with his slaves (Jefferson, although this has not been 100% established). There are frequent calls to remove monuments to these people.

A black person in Compton is probably not worried about that, but if you asked, there's a 90 percent chance they're not okay with it and would prefer they weren't there at all. Not that you actually care about the opinions of minorities. Even with widespread agreement among black people that such monuments should be removed, you would still say "what about black on black crime " or just get over it". Don't use hypothetical minority opinions as a weapon or a shield unless those opinions actually affect your worldview. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yea they were slave owners. Did they actively fight to leave the United States over it? During the civil rights movement it was just "the way of the time" that people considered African Americans inferior. Should we celebrate those in time that actively fought to keep them from getting equal rights just because "that's the way it was at the time"? Nothing the confederacy did is worth celebrating today. It's worth remembering for historical reasons. Not celebrating and cheering. When we celebrate Thomas Jefferson it's not about him owning slaves. When we celebrate confederacy soldiers it's about a war they fought in. One where they fought to leave the country. Why celebrate that? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I didn't say it's okay. I said they were a functionally useless activities chosen because they are able to be done mostly by being mad on social media rather than the actual tangible positive impact they'd have, as well as implying the selfishness of putting so much energy into low return projects as a form of dick measuring virtue signaling while people that need real help aren't getting it.

Most of those statues are cheaply made molds that were put on pedestals in the 1900's anyway. They were used as reminders in the south during segregation. Nothing honorable or cultural about them.

I don't understand this. You can focus on more than one thing. You can focus on substantive issues, and symbolic ones. It's not hard. What pisses me off about this, is that he's not telling conservative White people that their ideas don't matter. They can have their status quo as they've always had. Barkley's idea keeps them comfortable.
No, if black people want to change things for the better, and keep in mind that contrary to his comments, a lot of black people don't like these statues, they have to shut up and move on. That's bull****, Chuck. But go ahead, man. Keep on saying things that please White people who otherwise wouldn't give a damn about your opinion.
