Charles Barkley Agrees With Zimmerman Verdict[VIDEO INTERVIEW] NBA Star DEFENSIVE on 'Not Guilty' 'Racist People In Media' And Treyvon Martin

Charles Barkley agrees with the George Zimmerman verdict believing their was not enough evidence for a not guilty verdict. Barkley says during an interview on CNBC that he agrees with the verdict and that racism is found everywhere but we can;t make decisions in the trail based on emotions. 

Charles Barkely sayd about the Zimmerman verdict, "there are racist people out there in the media, of all colors."

George Zimmerman was found not guilty for the alleged murder of Travon Martin in 2012.  The NBA star speaks on the George Zimmerman verdict and the tragic death of Treyvon Martin.  

"Well I agree with the verdict," Charles Barkley told CNBC.

"I feel sorry that young kid got killed, but they didn't have enough evidence to charge him. Something clearly went wrong that night - clearly something went wrong - and I feel bad for anybody who loses a kid, but if you looked at the case and you don't make it - there was some racial profiling, no question about it - but something happened that changed the dynamic of that night," Barkley said.

The NBA hall of famer and Olympic gold medalist admitted his words won't be popular, but said there was not enough evidence to convict Zimmerman. He said that race played a role, but not only between Zimmerman and Martin.

"I just feel bad because I don't like when race gets out in the media 'cuz I don't think the media has a 'pure heart,' as I call it," Barkley continues.

"There are very few people who have a pure heart when it comes to race. Racism is wrong in any shape [or] form - there are a lot of black people who are racist, too. I think sometimes when people talk about race, they act like only white people are racist. There are a lot of black people who are racist. And I don't like when it gets out there in the media because I don't think the media has clean hands."

The 50-year-old is one of the NBA's all-time 50 greatest players in 1993, the same year he won the league's Most Valuable Player award. The 11-time All-Star retired after the 1999-2000. From there, he has been working for TNT as an analyst after NBA games on TNT.

"The main thing I feel bad for is it gives every white person and black person who's racist a platform to vent their ignorance," he says.

"That's the thing that bothered me the most. I watched this trail closely and I watched these people on television talking about it. A lot of these people have a hidden agenda. They want to have their racist views, whether they are white or black ... Their biases definitely come out. It was a bad situation. We all lost."
