Asked whether it was ever permissible to hit a child, the highly quotable NBA Hall of Famer suggested that not only is it OK to do so, but that the practice is so common in parts of the country as to be unremarkable. “Whipping—we do that all the time,” the Alabama native said, adding that if corporal punishment were made illegal, “every black parent in the South is going to be in jail under those circumstances.”

Bomani Jones, co-host of ESPN2’s “Highly Questionable,” found it highly questionable how Barkley seemingly has become the “most trusted black voice in white america.”

Jones wasn’t impressed either by Slate’s take on “What Charles Barkley gets wrong about corporal punishment and black culture,” written by Josh Vorhees.
