President Donald Trump second term in office has many worried about a multitude of things, with Trump being the master of branding, whether it be right or wrong, using his platform to express his views on how the world should be. Former NBA legend Charles Barkley who has historically never been one to bite his tongue recently shared his thoughts on Donald Trump saying that Trump has made it popular to be racist without consequences.
During a recent appearance on The Chris Cuomo Project, Charles Barkley a NBA legend and longtime sports analyst criticized Trump, arguing that his presidency has made some people more comfortable openly expressing racist views.
“I think one of the worst things about Trump, he’s made it popular to be racist. There’s no consequences for being racist now.”
Barkley continued by saying some people now wear racism like a “badge of courage,” adding that he believes Trump should denounce it and has instead made racism “more acceptable.”
