During a recent episode of King Charles on CNN, host and legendary baller Charles Barkley shared his thoughts on why Black Americans are fleeing the Democratic Party.
“The reason I think the Democratic Party and Mr. Biden, President Biden, is losing black votes is they only care about black people every four years,” Barkley said.
“And then finally us black people are like, ‘I don’t know, man, other than my ability to dunk a basketball, all my neighbors’ hoods are still the same, our schools are still the same,’” he continued, “and that’s why I think black people are leaving disappointed the Democratic Party.”
Barkley said he has voted Democratic in nearly every election “’cause I thought it was gonna help black people and poor people.”
“But then I’m starting to look like, man, I understand why black people are leaving [the Democratic Party], want to vote for somebody else…” Barkley added.
Conservative media personality Collin Rugg shared the clip online, saying “Voting Democrat while knowing they only care about you every 4 years makes *you* the id*ot.”
