Josh Howard, of the Dallas Mavericks, hates America. He doesn’t respect the national anthem because ” ‘I don’t celebrate this [expletive]. I’m black.’”
Could someone please explain to me how being black equates to hating America? I don’t know a single black person who hates America and wouldn’t stand for the national anthem. Where are the exceptions, like Josh, getting the idea that if you’re black, you have to disrespect your country? Could it be from places like Obama’s church, with Reverend Jeremiah Wright and his “God DAMN America”?
The video is from July, at Allen Iverson’s charity flag football game, but is just now making the news. The Dallas Morning News states that after explaining why he doesn’t respect the national anthem, Howard “goes on to make a difficult-to-discern comment that includes a reference to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.” I’ve listened to the video several times, and it doesn’t seem all that difficult to discern to me. It sure sounds like “Obama ’08, and all that [expletive].”
Add him to the list of Obama supporters who believe it’s ok to be racist and anti-American, as long as you aren’t a conservative.
Owner Mark Cuban says “I have explained to him that cellphone cameras are not your friend and that what you think you said on camera is never what people will hear when it shows up on YouTube or TV.”
I understand that stunts like this are publicity nightmares for people like Mark, but how could he possibly think that Howard thought he said something different than what showed up on YouTube? His message was pretty clear. Not spoken eloquently, but clear and concise nonetheless.
He hates America and loves Barack.
