I just finished the piece, and thought it was a good read. Some of the scenes where he's talking to Michael Jordan are straight up funny.
I would tend to agree with Dexter -- Barkley's got good intentions, but he needs to be led to a smarter way of using whatever influence, power he has, if he's got any.
Frankly, I thought his critique of Rev. Jackson was on point. I have reservations about clergy and politics, but that's another thread.
What makes me uneasy about Chas. is the fact that he seems to idolize people such as Justice Thomas, who really believes he came up in a vacuum and wants to impose that on other people. I believe in hard work, but I also realize that someone got their butt kicked or killed so that people like myself and others could go to college, get an education and have a professional career.
PS -- Soror AKA2D, CTFU about your reference to "Rikita" Williams. It reminded me of "Shaqueesha" O'Neal appearing in a blond wig on Fox Sports Net's "The Best Damn Sports Show."
