Charles Barkley set a few folks off Sunday when he alleged “unintelligent” Blacks hold successful ones back in his defense of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson who’s been accused of not being “Black enough.” Despite the feathers ruffled by that comment, we’re pretty sure theses individuals would agree with Barkley because they’re just a few on the long list of celebs accused of not being Black enough.
Don Lemon
Don Lemon holds court in broadcast news as the weekend anchor for “CNN Newsroom” as well as the co-host of “CNN Tonight.” He has always been very vocal about the issues that plague the Black community and some of his solutions have been met with controversy. Most recently the award-winning journalist came under fire for agreeing with Fox News talking head Bill O’Reilly when he commented about the Black on Black crime statistics following the death of Trayvon Martin. “He’s got a point,” Lemon said. “In fact, he’s got more than a point. In my estimation, he doesn’t go far enough.”
