Charles Barkley is a very opinionated man. He also likes to joke around alot on TV, so sometimes it is hard to take him serious. But his opinion on what happened with the George Zimmerman murder trial is actually a well thought out statement that regardless of whether you agree with him or not should still make you think. Hit the jump to see his interview.

We all have our opinions on what happened in this case, but I think the one thing we can definitely agree on was the media itself played a huge role in turning it into a racial black vs white type of case, and I am glad Charles mentioned that. Too many members of the media, and even some political leaders try to make names for themselves whenever there is a controversial case. Instead of focusing on the soul of Trayvon and his family, it turns into everyone wanting to get their own agenda across, which is selfish and shows people in the long run don’t care as much as they try to make you believe. RIP Trayvon Martin.
Look it was in a way about race, When he first seen Treyvon he seen a BLACK kid walking in the rain in a Hoodie. Fact is I am whit and I wouldn’t of done what Zimmerman did, But I will admit I would have wondered,But that is where the race issue ends, after that The jury did get it right, Because that is what the law does say, Zimmerman did have a rite to shoot Treyvon, But truth be told it is because of the way the law was written, Republicans have always in our History have made gun laws to protect white’s against minorities(BLACKS) and this Law was written to be able for whites to KILL Blacks and use self defense as a defense, until we push back against Republicans and the crap laws they right because the Republican Party spreads fear to Americans gives them a clear path to writing these kind of laws, It is not a white vs black issue, It is a American against the republican party war we have until we stop Republicans in thi9s Country, More Blacks and other minorities will be killed, and discriminated against, It is time we Americans rise up and DECLARE ALL REPUBLICANS HOME GROWN TERRORISTS!!!
Dude shut up. The stand your ground law is benefiting more blacks in Florida then any other race. And you can’t just go punching people in the face. You never know what they got. I know my mama taught me that. Also everyone racial profile. I myself and other black people can spot someone who ain’t from the neighborhood and say what the fuck is this white boy doing here? Or even my own race. Everybody profiles even to your own race
