Jason Whitlock: “Donald Trump broke Charles Barkley. The most outspoken, entertaining, and politically incorrect athlete since Muhammad Ali has been transformed into a toe-the-line Black gatekeeper for the secular global elitists who control the purse strings. Sir Charles is more likely to share his pronouns in support of the ‘Alphabet Mafia’ than state anything that ruffles the sensibilities of Trump haters.
This week, sitting alongside fellow Black gatekeeper Gayle King, Barkley threatened to beat up any Black person he spotted wearing a t-shirt with Trump’s mug shot. Like all good gatekeepers, Barkley thinks Black people have cornered the market on victimhood. It’s an unsophisticated worldview, but it’s a pervasive one throughout modern American culture. Let’s provide a little context. During a Trump speech, Trump bragged that Black voters found him relatable and likeable because the criminal justice system was being used unfairly to punish him. Many Black pundits have pretended that Trump committed a great racial offense analogizing himself to Black people. As far as I know, Sir Charles is the lone pundit to threaten violence over it. Trump casting himself as a victim is worth fighting over in the minds of American Black people who have adopted victimhood as a unique and important identify. Trump has committed a form of cultural appropriation or identity theft. Victimhood, that’s our hustle. If’s how demand power and justify special treatment. We frame any and every unfairness we experience as an outgrowth of discrimination.
I'm not sure if Barkley actually believes what he's saying. It's certainly illogical. Barkley is arguing that Donald Trump cannot experience ‘unfairness’ because he's rich and he's been President. Explain John Kennedy. Was President Kennedy treated unfairly on November 22nd, 1963? Kennedy's father was one of the richest men in America. ‘Unfairness’ has no color. It can and does attack any and everyone. Barkley could argue that Trump isn't being treated unfairly. Fine, and that's what he did. There are people, including me, who don't believe George Floyd was treated unfairly on May 25th, 2020, it's all just an opinion. Everyone has one. Trump and his supporters believe he is being unfairly targeted by his political opponents. That belief is shared by a growing number of Black people. Barkley wants to threaten violence against those Black people. They are not allowed to think whatever they want, they must adopt Barkley's point of view on Trump.
White people can wear a Trump mug shot and not worry about being attacked by Charles Barkley. Only Black people who would wear a Trump t-shirt with his mug shot on it, Charles would punch in the face. I just want you to think that through. Barkley is a gatekeeper, an overseer of the minds of Black people. He's made it crystal clear. ‘I'll punch any Black person in the face that wears that mug shot! White people, you are free to do, and think, and support whoever and whatever you want! Black people, you have gatekeepers and overseers, and you will be punished physically, financially, reputationally if you don't fall in line!'
This is the definition of gatekeeping. This is the definition of being an overseer. This is the definition of being a negro-wrangler. What happened to Charles Barkley? Why has he changed? Barkley is the former Donald Trump, the real one broke him. Today, Barkley's worldview is shaped by ‘Trump Derangement.’ I'd like to call it a self-inflicted wound, but I don't think that's totally accurate. Barkley is simply doing what he's been told to do. In order to protect his massive paycheck, Barkley abandoned the point of view that made him unique, must-see TV and relatable to working-class people of all colors. Charles Barkley was Donald Trump before Donald Trump broke Charles Barkley. That is what is so disappointing and/or disconcerting from this clear pivot we’re seeing from Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley used to say all kinds of politically incorrect things, and talk bad about people, and certainly seemed to have his way with women... And he’s married. He got busted in Arizona getting himself pleasure not from his wife. Before Donald Trump became President, there was nobody in the media space more Trump-like than Charles Barkley, and now he has somehow made Donald Trump the epitome of evil.
This guy [Barkley] was a Booker T. Washington. Booker T. Washington was no leftist. Booker T. Washington was someone who called BS on the race hustlers going back to the 18 and 1900’s. That’s who shaped Charles Barkley’s legacy. Donald Trump becomes President in 2016 and now all the sudden he becomes a brand new man.
The entire corporate media has convinced Barkley and a bunch of other people that the key to the success and survival of Black people is the destruction of Donald Trump. How can that be? What happened during the four years of the Trump administration? What happened to Black people? What happened to us during those four years that justify this level of delusion and derangement? Were we put in chains? Were we put in concentration camps? What happened other than the puppet masters who cut checks for people on TV -- the secular, global elites -- who gave a different set of instructions? It's like we're little attack dogs and they say 'THERE GOES THE BAD GUY, DONALD TRUMP! HE'S DESTROYING YOU!' Is he a threat to us, or is he a threat to their control of this entire system?"
Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV’s Fearless call out NBA commentator Charles Barkley for threatening to ‘punch in the face’ any Black person who wears a t-shirt with Donald Trump’s mugshot on it.
Barkley took exception to Trump recently proclaiming at a Trump rally that his legal plight the last few years has garnered sympathy from the Black population, who like Trump, might believe the judicial system is systematically biased against them.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock rips Barkley for going out of his way to attack Trump and parade himself as a high-brow gatekeeper of Black opinion, saying the once-refreshingly outspoken and politically neutral Barkley has now become a bought-and-paid-for operative for the far-left in their pursuit to disarm their biggest political disruptor.
