Charles Barkley Speaks Out

Charles Barkley had the following to say during the live coverage on TNT of the Celtics-Magic game yesterday (MLK Day) in Los Angeles:

"You know, people try to make it about black and white." He then talked about equality for every man, every woman. "We have this thing going on now — people discriminating against homosexuality in this country. I love the homosexual people. God bless the gay people. They are great people."

Now this isn't something you see or hear on television everyday...and from a straight black man too.. Mad Props to SIR CHARLES
