That’s according Shaq lol. Sad that someone who is such a public figure makes statements like that and uses what he apparently thinks are black stereotypes. I’m not sure he’s very accurate though…

I’m also not sure why that would be a reason to sell franchises you own or to turn down Starbucks when they want to do business with you, but that’s all up to him.

It’s nice to know that money doesn’t always change people. He’s still not very smart.

With the empire he's built he can afford to pay people to be smart for him.

Speaking of not very smart, how smart are we who enable the enrichment of usually very large men who can play with their balls better than we can?

Shaq is smart enough to not be woke, so he's OK with me.

Again, we see George Friedman's conflict between intellectual elites and common sense. To the intellectual elites, Shaq is a dummy (but probably unspoken, since he is a person of color--and, the common sense folks would probably observe, a very large one). To the common sense folks, he has done quite well.

I like Shaq but I prefer Barkley's opinions - whether I agree or not , he is a hoot!

I went to an industry source and it does appear African-Americans drink coffee at a lesser rate than other ethnic groups. However blacks in other parts of the world drink coffee as much as anyone else, if not more in some places. This appears to be unique to the African-American experience, and according to the author is likely due to some misconceptions about the drink passed down over the years and the fact that most coffee shops are staffed and owned by white leftists (ie. Starbucks).

Chas Barkley ... love him. He speaks his mind in a consistent manner, showing element of humor and self-deprecation.
