One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I don't know what that gas is made of, but it can't smell any worse than Ernie Johnson 's gym bag.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I never would say a player stinks. Ever. I'll tell you their team stinks, and first of all, they know their team stinks. And the fans know their team stinks.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
If you're a poor white person and your life sucks, it's easy for you to blame Hispanics cos you don't want to look in the mirror and say, 'I'm the reason my life sucks.' The Republicans do a good job exploiting that.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I wish the American public wasn't so stupid if they realized that half the people on television make a living just to insult the other party.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
What bothers me the most are the Republicans and the Democrats: they act like little kids. They are lying to real people out here trying to get through life.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I'm not going to waste my time worrying about these Confederate statues. That's wasted energy.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
The only people who distrust the cops are crooks. They're not out there just harassing innocent people. Maybe sometimes they do. But there's no inherent situation where cops are deliberately out there harassing people.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
My perspective is never gonna change on that... We've got to do a much better job to take care of poor people, because you cannot put all the poor people in bad neighborhoods, send them to bad schools, and say, 'Good luck in life.' That's just not right.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we, as black people, we're never going to be successful - not because of you white people but because of other black people. When you're black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I know that I'm never as good or bad as any single performance. I've never believed my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
We can't pick out certain incidentals that don't go our way and act like the cops are all bad... Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops?
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I live in Arizona. I think the Hispanic people are amazing. I think when people talk about illegal immigration... it does them a disservice.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
The Republicans always do a good job of dividing and conquering. They do a really good job of making black folks, poor white folks, and Hispanics not like each other.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
If I'm going to be straightforward, like I always try to be, I know guys are going to come back at me sometimes.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I've always said that: 'We as black people, if you want respect, you have to give each other respect.' You can't demand respect from white people and the cops if we don't respect each other.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
See, my hope and dream is that people have a good time watching basketball. It's not church. It's not serious.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I truly believe that building bridges, not building walls and not giving into fear, will make our communities better.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
I think sports has done a disservice for a lot of black kids thinking they can only be successful through athletics and entertainment. I want them to know they can be doctors, lawyers, teachers, fireman, police officers, etc.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
Just because you watch 'Grey's Anatomy' doesn't mean you can do the operation.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
Everybody wants to protect their own tribe, whether they are right or wrong.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
Neither one of the parties is doing anything for poor people. They're both full of it. Black people have been voting Democratic their whole life, and they're still poor. And the Republicans don't do anything for poor people, either.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
For some reason, we're brainwashed to think if you're not a thug or an idiot, you're not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don't break the law, you're not a good black person.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
Everybody wants to talk about black and white, when the situation is really about rich people against poor people.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
You know it's going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
Just because you say something doesn't make it controversial, and it doesn't make you a bad person.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
If you are black on television, you are probably going to be some kind of thug, gangster, or portrayed in a negative light. If you are some type of Muslim, you are going to be blowing stuff up. If you are Hispanic, you are going to be some type of gangbanger. I've felt like this for years.
Quote by -Charles Barkley
These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.
