Jailed Barkley To Go Home
March 9th, 2009Former NBA all-star Charles Barkley should be getting out of an Arizona jail tomorrow, following his three-day stint for drunken driving in Scottsdale on New Year’s Eve. He’s been serving his term in Arizona’s notorious Tent City, where Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed “toughest sheriff in America” rules with an iron fist. “I’m an equal incarcerator,” Arpaio said of Barkley, who spent the past couple days in one of the tents. “We don’t discriminate.” Arpaio is known for issuing inmates cartoonish, black-and-white-striped jailbird suits, linking them together on chain gangs and forcing them to sleep in tents. Barkley was spared the stripes and the chain gang, given a blue and red sweatsuit instead. Reporters who showed up at a brief but wide-ranging news conference on Saturday tried to reconcile Arpaio’s “don’t discriminate” comment with the fact that Barkley was afforded much hipper attire than the average inmate. “None of the work-release people do that,” Barkley snapped. “But if y’all really, really want to put me as low as I can go, I can do that and make you feel better. I know when [someone is] famous, you like to see people humiliated.” The 45-year-old Barkley acknowledged, however, that he had “screwed up” and was getting what he deserved. “I don’t blame anybody but myself,” he said. He actually was supposed to serve 10 days, but the term was reduced because he attended an alcohol program. When Arpaio released a book some years ago, Barkley endorsed it on the back. “This man, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, is a role model for all Americans,” Barkley wrote in the blurb.
Jakreeka,
Intelligent black people know that celebrities are not role models. True role models are people we know; not strangers like actors, singers and athletes! Role models are the adults that kids see on a daily basis. People like family members, neighbors, teachers, mentors, etc…just ordinary people doing positive things. Those are true role models. Try to expand your mind beyond your racist comments. We could name many, many caucasian celebrities who have done the same or worst than Charles Barkley!
Charles Barkley is only human like everybody else i myself im a recovering alcoholic and has driven high since then its been 14 years since i had my last drink hopefully Mr Barkley will walk away from this learning something about himself
I laughed when I saw him on the grounds in a sweatsuit, booty all poked out. What a sight…………
Congratulations to Charles Barkley for taking his punishment like a man and not crying “I din’t dooz nuffin’!” or “I beez a victim of da ray-sism!” like a typical negro.
My role models are “Migthy Little Wee Wee Whitey” and David and his Big Beefy Black Lover!! we play tag and eat Mud Cakes. Bobby Jindal we lave you!!
I see lil jakreeka has nothing better to do. How about going and playing in traffic…?
Black familys role models are on the run from the law . So here it comes, we are victims, seschris. True hurt . If someone’s philosophy disagrees you people will say that is racist.
black people are not victims we are survivors with real role models that are not on the TV or the radio. David. you need a role model in the worst way.
I do need a role model because I sit online all day and do nothing but bother you people. I get my kicks from that because I am white trash and have no job. I am the image of a dumb white man. So ignore my ignorance I am a retard.
Humility brings obedience to those who learn from their mistakes. I pray that Charles Barkley learned something from his foolishness.
I sit here all day on this computer with a butt plug !! I love it it expands my mind and other things for Bubba Long!!
You know it’s a sad sad shame that even as a people have been stupid! Research!
Barckay is a negro dat needs toos bees locked ups
1st of all you did this to yourself. Why were you driving drunk???? You should be made to pay for your crime. What if you had an accident and killed someone? what then. you need to get yourself in order. you are in front of kids who think that you are a good role model and you either are going to have to live up to that are live down. either way I am happy.
