Charles in that article At number 2.
He acknowledged reality and went against the grain sayin black people are perpetual victims with no agency in their own lives.
Charles Barkley doesn't seem to like what #BlackLivesMatter is up to. When he appeared on radio's The Dan Le Batard Show With Stugotz, he said this:
The cops have made some mistakes; black people have made some mistakes. We have to sit back and be honest with each other. The cops have made some mistakes; that don’t give us the right to riot and shoot cops. We need the cops, especially in the black community. We as black people, we’ve got to do better. Sir, are you assuming that all protesters are rioting and shooting cops? Because that's not what's happening. There's more:
There is some reason why there’s racial stereotypes, [because] some black people are crooks. Some of these black people out there are committing crimes. Let’s don’t sit there and act like all our hands are clean. We never get mad when black people kill each other; well, that always has bothered me. … I’ve always said we as black people, if you want respect, you’ve got to give each other respect. You can’t demand respect from white people and the cops if we don’t respect each other.
