There are a lot of things going on in the world right now, and one thing for certain, Stephen Jackson feels he is on the right end of things.
Well before moving into the Black Lives Matter moment, Stephen was already warming the heart of America.
With his friend George Floyd being killed, causing the greatest civil righs movement in history, Jackson quickly took a position of leadership and just as quickly rose to the title of The People’s Champ.
Now, most likely you are not a stranger to Charles Barkley and that mouth of his. Barkley has never in his life kept his opinion to himself. (I’m not judging. Most of us do the same sh*t. Let’s just keep it real.)
Anyway Barkley does’t like how Stephen is responding to the social climate anti semantic comments. He backed up Kareem Abdul Jabbar‘s disappointment with Nick Cannon, Stephen Jackson and other influencers who’ve spoken out, accusing the Jewish community of oppressing black people. (Yes messy, and no women are involved.)
Charles said:
“Listen, DeSean Jackson, Stephen Jackson, Nick Cannon, Ice Cube. Man, what the hell are y’all doing? Y’all want racial equality. We all do. I don’t understand how insulting another group helps our cause,” Barkley went on a rant.
“And the only person who called Y’all on it was Kareem. We can’t allow black people to be prejudiced also. Especially if we’re asking for white folks to respect us, give us economic opportunity and things like that. I’m so disappointed in these men.
But I don’t understand how you beat hatred with more hatred. That stuff should never come up in your vocabulary and it should never come up in your heart. I don’t understand it. I’m never gonna accept it and I’m asking you guys, I’m begging you guys, man, you guys are famous, you got a platform. We gotta do better, man.
I want allies. I don’t want to alienate anybody and to take shots at the Jewish race, the white race. I just don’t like it cause it’s not right and I had to call them on it cause it’s really been on my heart.”
I agree that racism is not cool from anyone. But would you describe what Nick, Stephen and others are saying, as racism, or is it the truth?
Now, you know what they say about opinions. It’s a pretty healthy thing to not care about other’s opinions of you. More importantly, Stephen Jackson said he doesn’t gives approximately zero phucks about Barkley’s opinion of him.

Haven’t watched a game in a while, but this is definitely interesting.
