NBA legend Charles Barkley has some exciting news in the historically black college or university (HBCU) community.
Barkely recently announced he will donate $1 million to historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. as a gift promising “to give a million dollars a year away to charity.” News One reports:

Barkley gave Lee and Jackson’s beloved Morehouse $1 million, and he also donated $1 million to his own alma mater, Auburn University. He also announced another $1 million to the Wounded Warriors project, a charity for veterans, saying, “I think it’s a joke the way they treat our soldiers.”[/quote_box_center]
According to Morehouse’s official Twitter page, Barkley pledged the generous gift to the college’s prestigious Journalism and Sports Program.

Thanks Charles Barkley, you got some cool points back that you lost over the years and you get to keep your Black Card.
Wow!. What a niggerish thing to say. Charles Barkley doesn’t owe anyone anything but chose to be charitable. You may disagree with his politics but this general sense of entitlement among some black individuals is getting old.
