"For some reason we are 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. It's a dirty, dark secret in the black community.

"There are a lot of black people who are unintelligent, who don't have success. It's best to knock a successful black person down because they're intelligent, they speak well, they do well in school, and they're successful. It's just typical BS that goes on when you're black, man."

Holy crap! I didn't know. That's freaking terrible news. She was a gorgeous woman. Style and smarts... reports said cerebral hemorrhaging... what the hell caused that ?

It works both ways - there's plenty of criticism that can be made of white culture as well - no one, and no group are perfect. I see Russell Wilson - QB for the Super Bowl winning Seahawks - being criticized by black teammates as "not black enough." Huh?! But it's not a one race issue - we all have issues. It's a PROCESS, or if you're from Canada, it's a "Pro-Cess."

Why you get so much noise on this board is when you don't realize it's not just "them."

It's worth noting that there isn't much difference between Barkley's claim that "there are a lot black people who are unintelligent" and the claims of a garden-variety racist. I assume that Barkley meant to say something more nuanced. That more charitable analysis, though, is far from a "dirty dark secret." The notion that black irresponsibility is the sole cause of the "race problem" is widely shared among black America's most prominent figures, beginning—but not ending—with the president of the United States.

How is it " racist " to agree w/ a black man's point of view ? Do you even KNOW who Charles Barkley is ?

So, when he says it's a black problem, that BLACKS are the ones holding themselves back more than anything else, you ignore him, ignore what he's saying, and revert back to 'white supremacy' , as you dismiss the entire point he was making.

Crassic - that's you go-to response when you get cornered, "you're not making any sense."

Even funnier when you see what second said:

"Ignorance is one strategy out of many in politics – pretend to not understand. Or, even worse, yet more politically effective, actually to not understand."

Corey Brooks is pastor at New Beginnings Church in Chicago’s south side. Well known and well liked, Brooks tended to his parish without much controversy or incident. Until, that is, he endorsed Republican Bruce Rauner for governor over Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn.

After appearing in an ad for Rauner, Brooks received death threats on his voicemail and on social media, including calling him an “Uncle Tom.”

Brooks told WGN, “It’s unfair that a person does not have a right to voice their opinion and speak about who they want to support, and that some people still feel you have got to stay on this Democratic plantation. If you choose to leave it or go off it, we will attack you.”

Shortly after the ad appeared, New Beginnings Church suffered a break in and had $8,000 stolen from a collection for a new community center. Brooks also started receiving threatening messages.

One voicemail said, “Watch your back fat (expletive). We own you, black. We own you. They can’t protect you, you sell out. You Uncle Tom (expletive). Token. You puppet for Bruce Rauner.”

Brooks also endorsed Republican Senate candidate Jim Oberweis over Democratic Senator Dick Durbin.

Police are investigating the break in and the threats.

Not everyone believes the Pastor’s story. Failed Democratic candidate for governor and progressive activist Tio Hardiman believes the messages and the break in are merely publicity stunts.

Hardiman, a Huffington Post contributor, called Brooks and other black clergy who’ve thrown their support behind Republican Rauner “the sell out pastors of Chicago.”

Brooks tells WGN he and his family have moved out of their home in response to the treats against him.
