Staff ReportNo one ever will accuse Charles Barkley of being politically correct. So leave it to Sir Chuckles to make light of Sammy Sosa's lighter skin complexion during Thursday night's NBA broadcast on TNT
After first admonishing Sosa by saying, "I know you want to get in the Hall of Fame, but going white ain't the way to do it," Barkley then donned a smock and let a makeup artist apply skin-whitening cream to his face.
The TNT technical crew pitched in by showing several before-and-after Sosa shots, along with some doctored photos of the former Cubs star -- all in good fun, of course.

Dear Broshiesq,
You obviously no nothing of American History. You ain't pulling the reverse race card today, not if I have anything to write about it! lol. This happens ALL THE TIME to black folks!! There is a long history of it! People put on black face for halloween (as stated above), tv shows across the world, for modeling gigs, and etc, In an attempted to trivialize , overly romanticize, hyper-sexualize, and caricature-ize the black experience. I also submit that the real unintelligible (if you even understand what that word really means) dipsh__ is you my fellow commentator.
Lighten up people!!!!!!!!!
Check your history, many whites have donned "black face" in order to make a joke. Just recently for halloween a student in Long Island came dressed as "Aunt Jemima". Black folks don't even aim to dress up for Halloween as Aunt Jemima. Not only that, but a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader dressed up as "Lil Wayne" with blackface. It was in the news one day and out the next. Barkley is just making a joke.I guess you would be one to think that it really was a skin rejuvination process that Sosa is "allegedly" going through at this time. I too am using a cream to "rejuvinate" my skin but it damned sure did not turn my lovely brown complexion to the sick pale color that Sosa now has. I guess the cream turned his eye color as well as his hair texture too huh? I am saddened and disappointed by Sammy Sosa which which was what the subject was originally about.
Barkley still be looking for the best BJ in town..imagine that, a multi millionaire cruising the streets---the streets for oral sex. He's ill and probably has diseases, people who give oral sex on the street level Chuckles, arent usually safe. But you knew that.
White face? That aint a joke, its a disgrace.
I take offense to these comments because as an african american i feel that people are always looking for ways to hide their prejudice so your comments don't shock me while i don't agree with Barkley on alot of things one thing he's not is racist he was just trying to be funny and though it was'nt funny to me either it has nothing to do with race and i believe Barkley is an intelligent man he is just a clown it's part of his character
Hilarious. No, not the bit. The fact that Barkley can get away with "lightening" his skin in order to make fun of (impersonate) someone. Know why? Cause he's a non-white. Wonder what would happen if a white donned black face in order to make fun of (anyone)? Hmm. Conveniently, no one has to go through such trouble to impersonate Barkley. It's much easier, just sound like an unintelligible dipsh**.
