Charles Barkley laying some truth bombs on National TV

Are you just trying to start an argument? What he said is true. I just don't agree about blaming it on Republicans.

Im just pointing out that you don’t agree with him at all. If I say they are both the color red, and then you say, well one is red and the other is orange, then we have a disagreement.

and I'm telling you that I do agree with him in part because what he is saying applies only to the Democrat Party.

What he said is that politicians use race to divide us because they want power over us. I agree and that applies to the Democrat Politicians and not the Republican politicians.

Show me a Republican that goes around calling people racist and or tries to divide people by race.

What Charles is saying is true but he's talking about what his own party is doing. The Democrat Party is the party of race bating.
Lmao. You still don’t get it. You don’t agree with Charles. You are the byproduct Charles is talking about.

remind me of the part of his discussion that I missed because I went back and listened to it again before I responded to your post.

 
If you are implying that I don’t believe in God or Christ, then you are incorrect. I also believe in science, math, physics and logic. They are not, as you imply, mutually exclusive. BTW, I’m not passing judgment on this guy. He’s made it clear that he’s a religious zealo, which was why I was pointing out not to argue with him.
No, I don't often imply things, I have no problem expressly stating whatever it is that I want to say.

My point is that, simply by observing current events, @areeves and his ideas seem much more believable than the Christians who just want to put their head in the sand and think "yeah, this is all normal".

I’m telling y’all the Truth & have been doing so for over a year now! I know it’s a tough pill to swallow but many on here won’t know what to do when we are forced to make decisions impacting our eternal souls. I’ve tried to lay out what’s really going on & what to do & what not do. The information I’ve shared comes The Bible, people I trust who have first hand knowledge about what I’ve shared & whistleblowers who have lost their lives for telling the truth. Like I’ve said many times on here, Time Will Prove What I’ve Shared To Be Accurate & True.

For one, Charles never mentioned the race card. That’s where you took it. He says black and white, but also rich and poor.

Two, his point was that each side is conditioned to disagree and basically despise the other side. You proved that by jumping to which side plays the race card and how THEY are wrong, not you.

Lastly, he says that most whites and blacks are good people at heart. But politicians don’t want them to get along. You immediately play right into that by drawing a line between R’s and D’s.

It’s pretty straight forward. He was talking about you (and plenty others), but you are so conditioned to defend your side, you can’t see it.

You're right. I'm 66 and I can tell you that nothing in the last 12 years is normal....and it's getting worse and building steam. Could this lead to violence? It already has..and this Administration's asshole is puckered with fear that "We the People" take what happened in Washington to a level capable of taking back the country by force. Folks that can't see that are blinded by the vitriol BS spewed by those Charles already pointed out....and that a silent majority, on some level, has been thinking about on a personal level how far they're willing to take it.

Trying to take our guns could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Our forefathers added the Second Amendment for exactly the reason what's happening in our country RIGHT NOW.

"For one, Charles never mentioned the race card. That’s where you took it. He says black and white, but also rich and poor."

The race card is the mechanism by which the Politicians use. I didn't make that up nor take the conversation anywhere beyond what he is saying.

"Two, his point was that each side is conditioned to disagree and basically despise the other side. You proved that by jumping to which side plays the race card and how THEY are wrong, not you."

You are projecting. I'm simply noting my observation based on what I have heard politicians say. I have never played the race card. Show me an instance where I attributed some condition to race. I'll wait.

"Lastly, he says that most whites and blacks are good people at heart. But politicians don’t want them to get along. You immediately play right into that by drawing a line between R’s and D’s."

No. I'm simply pointing out that Charles is a Democrat and doesn't want to admit that his Party is to blame but instead, he blames the Republican Party.

"It’s pretty straight forward. He was talking about you (and plenty others), but you are so conditioned to defend your side, you can’t see it."

Actually he is not talking about me. For one, I am not a politician. Boom!

This isn't cynicism. Get your glasses checked and new glasses. SMFH.
What do you think cynicism is, if this isn't it? He's saying that everybody's just trying to fool you and is out for no good. The better answer is to oppose creeping and creepy critical race theory, and to give a better argument. That might put you on one side or the other, and might mean you get behind one politician or another, rather than just pooping in the street like Diogenes.

Charles was talking about people being influenced by politicians. You clearly have been. But don’t worry... I won’t bother responding to you again. You don’t understand the material.

"Our politicians are set up, weather they are Republican or Democrat, to make us not like each other"

He's talking about politicians. Not me.

Boom!

Maybe you need to go back and listen to what he said again.

Hmm. OK. I believe that you believe what you are saying.
 
I've noticed a pattern here. You do memes whenever I kick your but.
I do memes when you cross over into some alt universe.

You seem to miss the irony here, so I will try one last time to spell it out. Yes, Charles is talking about politicians affecting common people. You are a common person and affected, clearly. His point was that people should see through this and not be affected. Your response was to blame the other side. His entire point was that it is BOTH SIDES. If you immediately favor one side over the other, you are the affected and who he was talking to. It is logically impossible to say you agree with him and also say you think it's only one side.

Charles's broad-brush cynicism is actually incorrect, in this case. There are differences between individual politicians, and differences in emphases between the two political parties. This kind of "both sides" cynicism is just an easy/lazy way of criticizing something particular politicians, writers, and other cultures figures, or that one particular side is currently more guilty of, without sounding partisan. In general, cynicism often works like this- you condemn all the existing sides as being corrupt, while not really looking at the particulars and excepting yourself from the corrupt partisanship.

You don't need to be a partisan true believer to see that what Barkley was criticizing, whether rightly or wrongly, is mostly coming from one side, while the approach he was describing is closer to another side.
 
Lololol. You guys are debating whether @areeves is a lunatic or not? Lololol.

He believes that many of us are, literally (I asked him), going to spend the rest of eternity drowning in a sea of fire. Like, actually physically present in a sea of fire.

Thats lunatic shit y'all. And if you don't think that's lunatic shit, you are also, almost certainly, a lunatic (pointing at you @Trading Tiger )

I see your point but don't agree that I'm affected by what politicians say. My response was to tell you what my observation is. When he refers to both side, I took that to mean politicians of both sides. He's referring to politicians on both sides Republicans and Democrats.
 
Look no further than this thread for what is wrong with America today imho. Even a statement that calls for both sides to unite and not be led astray by people who are using them is met with religious zealots, some pubs who don't want to hear it, some dems who don't want to hear it, some who hate the media, etc.

We as a people refuse to just say "You know.. that makes a ton of sense" and actual enact change. Nope. We would rather argue.

To be clear... I'm not mad at you guys. I have already started removing myself from the social media climate more and more. I am spending all of my time with my wife, kids, the golf course, work, and the lake. I am protecting my heart and my family the way that I know how. I see many friends falling into one camp over the other, and alienating everybody who dares oppose them. I refuse to do that or raise my kids to do that. We believe what we believe, and the #1 thing we believe in is love.

Charles is right here, but that doesn't sell. The arguments sell.

I am normally not a fan of yours at all, but this post is spot on.
 
So you’re saying politicians aren’t complicit in creating racial bias and division?
I agree that they do perpetuate it. However, getting rid of one politician over another is not going to fix the problem.
I don't believe that you believe "there are no big bad devil/masterminds out there"...you're smarter than that, I know it.
no, actually I believe that we are better off as a society today than we were 10, 20, or 30 years ago. I don’t believe that we are close to where we need to be but I do believe that we are moving in the right direction.

What’s up Brother😎And what did I tell you? I NEVER said you were going to end up in the Lake of Fire! What I did say is, “If me, you or anyone else doesn’t have a relationship with JESUS, then yes, those who don’t will end up in the lake of Fire (Revelation 20:15) I also said that if me, you or anyone else receives the “Mark of the Beast & or Worships the Beast/Antichrist, would be the recipient of one or more of 16 Judgements from GOD starting in Revelation 6, the 6th Seal & once one who has received “The Mark of the Beast” & or Worships the Antichrist perishes, they end up in the Lake of Fire! Time is short, we’re now in the 2nd Seal of Revelation 6! We will be forced to make a decision to Worship the Beast/Antichrist during the 4th Seal, which will take place in the near future! The Release of the EMP & Tactical Nuke Attack will be the sign that Martial Law will ensue. Authorities will blame it on China, Russia, Iran or N. Korea or a combination of the four. The Citizens in this country will be transported to FEMA Camps under the guise we will be given Food, Water, Shelter & Provisions. Once @ the FEMA Camps, Citizens will be given two choices, agree to be re-educated & worship the Beast/Antichrist or be Terminated.

Before this happens, they’ll come for our guns!

Like I’ve said many times before, Climate Change Crisis will be a common buzz word. Yes, there is a Climate Change Crisis but the NWO caused it by their Chemtrail Program. This was done so they can roll out Agenda 21, which was signed into law by Committee of 300 member, George Bush SR. Under the guise of Climate Change Crisis, our NWO government will tell us where we can & can’t live & visit.

By the way, we do have a border crisis but our NWO government caused it..... their goal... to turn our country into a third world country.

Hyper Inflation is coming, if you haven’t already, purchase gold & or silver, it’s the only thing to keep up with hyper-inflammation. This is the Third Seal in Revelation 6

According to US Navy Maps, BY 2026, Florida, The states along the East & West Coasts will be partially under water as Will the states along the Mississippi & Hoover Damm due to over eighty years of Chemtrails! If you’ve ever seen the movie Day After Tomorrow, this is a depiction of that.

Again, Time Will Prove the information I’ve shared with y’all is Accurate & Truthful!

I am a Christian, and while I don't agree with his claim about the afterlife, it is closer to what I believe than what those of most other religions believe. If people are lunatics based off their religious beliefs on the afterlife being accurate, you must think most of the world are lunatics.

I never said, “I think you’re a lunatic, I said, you’re DECEIVED!” I’m just passing along to you what the Bible says. Read it for yourself, Revelation 20:15 regarding the Lake of Fire
