Charles Barkley has rubbed the black community wrong over the years. There has always been a choppy love/hate relationship with the former Auburn Tiger and NBA great.
His outspoken disposition and many times the actual words out his mouth have fostered a dislike for him in the black community.
However, Chuck is putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to education for young black people by donating million dollars to Morehouse College.
In addition, Barkely is giving $1 million dollar donations to The Wounded Warrior Project and Auburn University.
Barkely dropped the news during a conference call for the American Century Championship’s celebrity golf tournament. Although he has an unorthodox golfing style, he clearly loves the game is always involved.
“I just got a new contract, and my goal is always to give a million dollars a year away to charity,” Barkley said during the call.
Barkely recently renewed his contract for eight to ten years as a studio analyst for TNT’s Inside the NBA. He shares the stage with Kenny Smith and Shaq.
How sure how you feel about Barkley as a person or inside the black community, but you got to respect someone who puts their money where their mouth is instead of just talking.
SOUND OFF: What do you think Barkley is trying to buy the affection of the black community with this donation?
