    I think it's hilarious that when someone white says something about someone who is black, it's instant uproar. However, when the roles are reversed, it's ok. Racist is racist, no matter who says it. Shame on you, Charles Barkley!

    Sammy Sosa wants to be white? That's his right. Let me guess. I'm super pale and I like to tan, so I must be wrong for tanning? Oh I know... this one is even better. It's ok that I tan because I must be embracing my 'Inner African American Side' and as long as I am going darker and not lighter, it's acceptable.

    i remember a lot or people not liking what Michael Jackson did to his skin, even though he suffered from the disease that turns one's pigmentation totally white, a colorless white at that. maybe Sammy Sosa suffers from the same disease. Charles Barkley also probably talked about MJ. Get this shit straight. If you have black coloring, you have black coloring. Sammy Sosa comes from people who dont want to admit that they have African heritage. The lighter, or the more white you look, the better you are. That's bull! End of story. If you are black, be black. It doesnt matter. Skin is so stupid, and this is a dumb question, as well. It is total race baiting, and I would expect better of you. Now, why would I do that?

    Race baiting? Charles is stating the obvious. Sammy comes from a culture that denies its African Heritage. It is a travasty that Sammy can not find beauty in the skin that God gave him. It is the same as Michael Jackson, how can you find acceptance from others if you don't accept yourself? Charles in this case was stating how ridiculous Sammy looks and I concur.

    but they are accepting themselves when they change their skin, they care about that, maybe you dont but they certainly do. for u to call it a travasty is just plain stupid because u dont know what drove him to do it, yes he bleached but y? do u know?anyways who cares its his skin

    Read up on the Dominigan Republic. You'll find a distinct prejudice towards Black skin Dominigans. They will call themselves every color under the rainbow except Black. I appreciate your opinion although I disagree. You take care.

    Is Sammy's face just covered in the same stuff that Barkley's was, or is this a form of vitiligo?

    Either way there are many double standards out there for different races to "joke" about anothers skin color, and it appears being white isnt very popular with Mr. Barkley.

    Although I think Charles was just joking around, it could sound as though he was putting Sammy down. Is this not America where we should have the freedom to make choices and be free. One of the put downs that black people do give one another is to be critical that they talk too white, they act too educated, and that their skin is not dark enough. Insead of worrying about being Black-Americans, why don't we all just be Americans!!

    'Rauchy and Tacky' is how I'd describe Barkley's blunder, and I hope he's learned a lesson from this in showing kindness; moreso in his personal life. This glimpse into his real personality is not too pretty.

    Asked a question, I explained to my daughter what I thought a Democrat was; but, first, it has to do with party preference: "It takes no rules of principles to join the democratic party, so it's members are of mixed behavior patterns. All in all, each party member represents the Party as a whole.

    Barkley, a huge Obama supporter, would fit into one of three personalities:

    1) Conservative Democrat;
    2) Moderate Democrat; and,
    3) Liberal Democrat.

    I know where I'd put Barkley's arrogant ass!

    Sammy Sosa turnuing white is a form of reverse racism. Consider the outrage and screams of racism that would have exploded from the black community if a white news caster had put on black-face make up on camera during a show. But if a black person engages in racism it's ok because he's black???

    So, Nightlight:

    ... first ask yourself if 'whiteface' offends you. "Are Whites going to keep putting up with it?"

    This sounds like a 'taste of one's own medicine' going on to me, but the practitioners need to get over it. THE WHITES THEY'RE BLAMING NOW HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEN!!!

    I'm Black and teaching my 7 grandchildren the same words I taught their society-contributing parents:

    "You come from strength, so you're strong ... Be proud of our ancestors for what they left for you, 'Freedom, with the opportunity to make all the money you want! ... but you have to work hard for it ... Always remember your ancestors survived, sooo Here You Are! ... Don't waste their sacrifices when you grow up ... Make them proud, okay?" Black parents/grandparents who don't say things like this, Should.

    HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST: These still angry, conditioned Blacks feel 'free' to 'be themselves' with Obama in Office who, himself, has expressed prejudice ... just as the Muslim's domestic terrorists are feeling free to 'express themselves' (another time about that).

    So-called 'celebrities' like Barkley can be stopped:

    "When blackface happened (stage, again ... See?), it took a long time to stop it. The thing is, blacks and whites had to begin, in order to end. DO IT! GATHER AND...

    some people have skin ailments ... don't really know what's going on with Sammy. People will have questions so maybe Sammy needs to get out a Statement. If the announcement is in his best interest, Barkley will look like even more of a jerk. He was downright mean-spirited.

    Maybe some black feel upset that he embrass of them or himself by turning his skin white I hope it just a skin problem nothing more. Maybe Barkley feel the same and in some way he upset about that as well I do not know much about Barkley or seen him much maybe once or twice in my life.
