Barkley asked, \u201cDid anybody say, \u2018Man, I feel bad for their family?\u2019 There was no love [for police] in this room,\u201d according to <a href=\"http:\/\/ijr.com\/2016\/11\/745810-charles-barkley-defended-cops-to-baltimore-crowd-but-had-to-get-the-hell-out-when-they-turned-on-him\/?utm_source=email&amp;utm_campaign=morning-newsletter&amp;utm_medium=owned\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">IJ Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One woman whose son died in police custody a few years ago reportedly responded, \u201cI don\u2019t know you, I don\u2019t like you,\u201d to which Barkley said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry for your loss. As far as you not liking me, it really doesn\u2019t bother me. I\u2019m used to it. I\u2019m like the homecoming queen. All the ugly girls hate you. That\u2019s part of my life. I never take anything personally.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The crowd grew even angrier, as another shouted, \u201cWhat does your condolence mean to her? How simple and arrogant are you? There are so many black men that care about our community that for us to dwell on one man that just won\u2019t get it is a waste of everybody\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The insults and ire continued Barkley\u2019s way, and his security team decided it was time to take him off the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Barkley\u2019s show will premiere in the new year, and it promises to be as \u201ccontroversial\u201d as the man himself. A TNT release about the show stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>NBA legend and Inside the NBA analyst Charles Barkley has had enough. The America that he knew has lost its way, becoming mired in partisan politics, social divides and entrenched corporate interests. Now he hopes to get to the root of the problem in the new limited-run series \u201cThe Race Card\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Each week, Barkley will take on the rapidly calcifying positions around today\u2019s hot-button topics. He will seek out the sharpest and most varied viewpoints from today\u2019s cultural leaders and tastemakers. He will then challenge and probe those ideas, even trying them out on himself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Barkley regularly offends the black community with his strong advice \u201cto do better as black people.\u201d Though he \u201ccan handle the heat,\u201d he is often portrayed as too privileged to understand\u00a0the black community. But based on this incident, it doesn\u2019t appear they want his advice.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tolerance goes only one way with the
