Quote Of The Day

"One of the reasons that black people are not going to be successful is because of other black people. We tell black kids that if they make good grades, they are acting white. If they speak well, we tell them that they are acting white. We have a lot of demons in our own closet — in our own family — that we have to address....We become our own worst enemy with random black-on-black crime, teen pregnancy, single-parent homes. You know we cannot blame white America for our ills. Does racism exist? Of course it does. But, at some point, I have to make sure I am educated. I don't have ten kids and no job. I am not killing other black people. At some point, you have to grow up."

— Charles Barkley, former NBA star
