Not true 6. Australia has a few aboriginal politicians with a shot at eventual leadership, we have already had a female PM, we have a Chinese lesbian front bencher, a female foreign minister, the PMs chief of staff is a woman & there are politicians from most ethnic backgrounds. The white male still dominates, but not absolutely.

Charles Barkley's got it right:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Charles Barkley calls Ferguson rioters ‘scumbags,’ supports grand jury decision

"The true story (of Brown's death) came out from the grand-jury testimony," he said.

Barkley also had words of praise for officers who work in black neighborhoods.

"We have to be really careful with the cops, because if it wasn't for the cops we would be living in the wild, wild west in our neighborhoods," he said. "We can't pick out certain incidentals that don't go our way and act like the cops are all bad. Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops?"

He continued, "I can't believe anything I hear on television anymore. And, that's why I don't like talking about race issues with the media anymore, because they (the media) love this stuff, and lead people to jump to conclusions. The media shouldn't do that. They never do that when black people kill each other."

"The true story came out from the grand jury testimony," Barkely said, adding that "three or four witnesses, who were black, said exactly what the cop [WILSON] said."

Much of the misinformation surrounding the case, according to Barkley, is due to the press.

“[THE MEDIA] love this stuff, and lead people to jump to conclusions. The media shouldn’t do that. They never do that when black people kill each other."

...

"For some reason we are brainwashed to think, if you're not a thug or an idiot, you're not black enough. If you go to school, make good grades, speak intelligent, and don't break the law, you're not a good black person. It's a dirty, dark secret in the black community," he said.

No doubt Preston considers Charles Barkley a white supremacist.

Barkley says he hasn't read the grand jury report:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '&')quot;I'm not saying who's right or wrong, I'm just hearing the true story that came out of the grand jury investigation. ....... Like I say, I don't know what happened in Ferguson, nobody knows what happened. I want to take the time as a responsible person [and] read the grand jury statement."

Three of Preston's heroes in St Louis just murdered a European immigrant in a brutal attack with hammers. Not a word from the Prestons of the world.

If the races had been reversed I suspect we'd hear no end of it, it'd be the #1 news story for months. Burning and looting, Al Sharpton, etc.

Listen to this interview, Barkley is SO right:

Oh this just keeps better!

Witness 40 the one who said Brown charge Wilson head down "like a football player" had been raising money for Wilson. Her story is that she just happened to be wandering/driving through this strange neighborhood and saw the whole thing. But her car was not seen on several security cameras in the area, including a gas station where she supposedly got gas. Then she saw the whole thing but went home and told nobody for weeks, during which time she was raising money for Wilson and posting racist rants of facebook.

She did not pop up until the grand jury, when she produced a hand written "journal" that exactly backed up Wilsons version. Phew lucky she wrote it, because she didn't seem to be able to answer questions. This is where the "like a football player" quote came from. How nice of someone to write that down for her so she would not even have to memorize anything. Also, she wasn't able to provide any other details about the incident, like how she got there. SHe claimed to have driven in on street that had been closed. Damn you MapQuest!

She also has brain damage from a car accident and a conviction for passing bad checks.

Barkley the thug pushed a 110 lb man through a window and was arrested without being tased, beaten, or shot.

October 27, 1997|By KENNETH A. HARRIS and TIM POVTAK The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO — Houston Rockets power forward Charles Barkley offered no apologies about charges he wrestled a man from an officer's grasp Sunday morning and hurled him through a glass window at Phineas Phoggs, a bar in Church Street Station.

``What [police and witnesses) said happened, happened,'' Barkley said. ``What he did was inappropriate. I'm going to defend myself. Let there be no debate. If you bother me, I'm going to whip your ass. The guy threw ice in my face, and I slammed his ass into the window. I'm not denying that. I defended myself. He got what he deserved.''

Sunday night, before Barkley and the Rockets played an exhibition game against the Orlando Magic, Barkley made it clear he would do the same again.
