San Antonio women have a message for Charles Barkley

Spurs Nation reports on the outrage of the comments by Sir Charles Barkley:

Mendez-Gonzales, creator of a blog called Que Means What, posted a blog Thursday morning, rallying the women of San Antonio behind the idea it’s not OK to body shame, and urging women celebrate themselves. But not before she took him to task for being, well, a hypocrite:

“… When L.A. Clippers former owner Donald Sterling was caught saying racist remarks, Charles Barkley was among those demanding repercussions for his words,” Gonzales wrote.

She even went on to quote Sir Charles from a Los Angeles Times article: “You can’ have this guy making statements like that. You have to suspend him and fine him immediately” because someone in that kind of a position of authority cannot be allowed to make those types of statements.

“For the record, San Antonio is full of beautiful women of all shapes, sizes, ages and colors. We support one another, too. Instead of harping on the ignorance of Barkley and the rest of the TNT Sports Desk (who instigated and laughed at his words), we will celebrate who we are … ,” Gonzales wrote.

So, Gonzales and her fellow San Antonio bloggers Tori Johnson and Michelle Cantu — also S.A. women — armed themselves with a powerful hashtag: #proudSAwoman, and called on the San Antonio female community to post photos on social media along with that hashtag and a message.
