Yeah, I’m as uncomfortable as Ernie Johnson was when Charles Barkley decided to make a joke about slavery on Thursday night’s edition of the NBA on TNT when asked about his favorite President.
And kudos for Shaq with his ability to make Ernie squirm even more. My guess is that this will be given a pass, because Barkley said it, but if Stephen A Smith had something similar on ESPN’s First Take, it would be a pretty big deal, joke or not.
Big deal…
