Charles Barkley Slams Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton

Sneed reports:
Basketball great Charles Barkley, who plans to run for governor of Alabama, claims he doesn't want help from Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.

• • To wit: "I don't believe in them," Barkley states in an interview in next month's Playboy magazine, according to the New York Post. "They always play the race card, and you can't always play the race card. . . . We have to hold blacks more accountable for their actions."
