Charles Barkley on "trying to be white"

"There are too many black kids and their parents who do not value a good education," he said. "There are places where a black kid who is a good student and tries to speak correctly, you hear stuff like, 'He's trying to be white.' Well, I say, if that's true, we need more kids trying to be white."

from a piece on NewsMax.com. Interestingly, the AP source for this piece does not include the commentary re: "trying to be white". Very interestingly.
