He should immediately refuse to ever accept or spend an AMERICAN DOLLAR again.

Typical Obama voter.

This should be up on Fox News in no time.

I bet he thinks his ignorant ass was 'helping' Obama. What a jackass.
This is what happens when we do not teach our young people about the Struggle. For him to live in Texas and run his mouth like that...let's just say I'll be very surprised if he's there at the end of this next NBA season.

Don't think for a moment that this isn't going to be played over and over again in certain pockets of the country, followed by "See, I told ya so".

Of course, and it will swing a few voters, no doubt about it. It's just a stupid statement.

Just like we did to Goodrum.

I know >:( This like the rapper who did the rap about painting the white house black.
he comes off as an assclown so not much damage is done.
We should have him debate WHY Obama should win vs some dumb ass redneck who likes McCain.
talk about must see reality TV

The perception being sold and believed in many areas is that Obama and his supporters are 'unpatriotic'.
Do you think a video like this does not energize them? Someone has probably already taken the clip and mixed in photos of Obama not placing his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
When did we (I'm talking about Blacks) stop telling our kids to 'do better'? And more importantly...why??

yes, but some racist clown that believs all of us that support Obama are like this clown are NOT going to vote for Obama anyway.

Yeah and probably with the name 'Hussein" in big bright font right below him.

LOL, I guess Jay should never be eligible to win the Olympia because his name Jay sounds like Gay.
Do you get your political info from Josh Howard or Larry the Cable Guy?

Seems like a fine young black gentleman.

Poly actually gets the message...he was referring to what many people will do and think. I didn't infer from his comment that he himself believes that Obama would endorse the comments of Howard.

Considering NoBama's wife is an angry black woman who has never been proud of her country before, I find this not surprising at all.
So Howard, Will you join Luda in painting the white house black? :D
-
I love how all you white folks hammer him for speaking his view. I think our country sucks too. Hence why I have a spot out of the USA.
-
The blacks keep on making progress.... the blacks keep bringing them right back down.
-
Black people, making racism easier every day.
-
the guy makes millions playing a game in the greatest country in the world.. the audacity.. i hope his ass gets booed every time he touches the rock.. if it were up to me i'd deport his ass to the most god forsaken country
-
The blacks keep on making progress.... the guys keep bringing them right back down.
A million hard-working Blacks brought down by the ignorant statements of one should've-been-aborted jackass...
Sure, not every black person in America is going to be impacted by his words, but somewhere, there's a white person taking a sideways glance at a young black boy who just walked into his shop to buy some milk for his mother.
But even more important than what some Whites are thinking right now is what is going through the minds of many BLACKS out there who consider NBA athletes to be heroic figures. He plants or reinforces the notion that it's 'cool' to be unpatriotic and disrespectful towards a country that grants you to opportunity to earn a million dollars a month playing basketball.
I'm unhappy and I demand Black Outrage over this. So far, I have seen two black sportswriters condemn him, but I want more.
A lot more.
-
i bet that columnist from Kansas City is gonna jump his ass if he hasn't already
-
???
I could not understand what he even said.
NBA should take care of this matter
-
Europe is signing a lot of NBA players.
He'd fit right in with those haters.
-
Meh, give Josh a pass he's a borderline moron. And morons come in all creeds and colors. Stupidity is an equal opportunity employer :)
-

If he were white, yes, I'd give him a pass.
But because he's black, I want universal condemnation for this jackass. I want the fallout to be so overwhelmingly negative that the next person might be inclined to actually think before going 'I hate this place that has afforded me so much' on YouTube.
-
Tre, your right on with this one. What a disgrace. Shitty American and an ignorant ass for keeping old stereotypes alive.

What you expect from an athlete? These guys represent dollars...not the black community. Get a grap and stop making these clowns into Gods. 90% of them go thru the system for money, cars, bling and whores.
Worry about what guys like Ben Carson have to say.

Cuba will be making a comeback if Obama gets the node.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Carson after hearing him speak about 15-16 years ago and was amazed at how this small (in stature) Black man was making such a huge impact on the world.
THAT was some inspiring stuff.
We live in such a media-saturated society. Take all the newspapers, radio, TV, internet, movies, etc. combined. What percentage of all the available content in the U.S. portrays positive, uplifting, and inspiring images of Blacks? And I'm only talking about modern content.
Blacks have to hold our people to higher standards, because we don't have as much room for error as anyone else does. It's just that simple.
Note: I am one of the biggest proponents of free speech you'll ever encounter, but while Josh Howard certainly had the right to say whatever he wanted (and it did not appear he attempted to disrupt the entire event), he also has the right to deal with consequences from those statements he made.

NBA should take care of this matter
why should anyone "take care of the matter", this is the United States and people have the right to express their opinions, what he said was stupid but i'm tired of this PC bullshit of "wanting something done" everytime someone says something people don't agree with. ::)

Because certain actions must have consequences.
We MUST teach and demand personal accountability, my friend.
Surely you can agree with that.
-
I can understand normal americans saying that, cause times is hard...but this fucking peice of shit is rich for playing basketball, fuck him.....

::) he didn't do anything but say something stupid, he didn't abuse anyone's rights or assault anyone, who gives a shit? if you don't like it don't listen, never understood why black people act like something that ONE PERSON says affects your whole race, no other race does that.

No, his antics don't affect every black person.
But it affects some of them and for most of those who are affected, the impact will be negative.
How long have you lived in America? (not looking to pick on you, just trying to get your perspective)

lived in America my whole life, i'm 36.

lived in America my whole life, i'm 36.
Being that we're both about the same age and have always lived in the U.S., knowing nothing else about you, I know that either you or someone you know has most likely wondered out loud, "Why do so many - or all - Blacks do _____?"
No one from any position of power has ever said, "Why do Whites do _____?"
-
I think we can safely say that he'd probably be in prison by now for something if he couldn't play basketball.
Another Mark Cuban masterpiece. ::)

points for a hilarious play on his name
p.s. he's the lesser of two 'evils' .. McCain is a downy.

We live in a Fucked country...

Tre,
Ive thought long and hard about this and I think the only reasonable thing for you to do is burn a building in your neighborhood down. At this point I don't see another option? Im sure Josh Howard would agree ;D
-
I don't understand how many can disagree with Tre on this one. Howard's comments show that he is a plain old a-hole. Comments like that should be met with clear criticizm. No one is talking about putting the guy in jail, but public ridicule is in order.

whatever, I don't agree with the dude but he has the right to say it.

exactly, i love how everyone is so barve on the internet saying what they'd do or say to him when in real life they'd either be quiet as a chruch mouse or they laugh along with him and agree.

I absolutely support his right to say what he wants.
But with the right to free speech comes the right for everyone else to respond in kind. That is, those who wish to support or to echo his sentiments may do so, but at the same time, those of us who oppose his views have the right to say what we want in response as well.
Furthermore, while no one has the right to go beat him up for the views he expressed, consumers CAN choose not to support the products he is associated with, which includes attendance at Dallas Mavericks' games.

Thanks, Shoot. I know GetBig is the place to take a piss whenever over whatever, but it's always good to sprinkle in some worthwhile discussions as well.

Personally I can NOT stand that star spangled banner shit myself...Even though I love Whitney Houston's version of the song. What is there to be patriotic about in a country that has been on a MURDEROUS SPREE for centuries???? America has caused wars with Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Phillipines, Thailand, Iran and Iraq, the Faulklans, Guatemala and Honduras, Ethiopia and Somalia, is responsible for the civil unrest in Sudan and Haiti...do I need to go on? How about the recent killing of 1.5 MILLION INNOCENT Iraqis? ALL FOR SOME WHITE GREEDY JEW BASTARDS IN THE OIL INDUSTRY. What about the millions of Iraqi and Afghans sent into refugee status over americas fake ass war? I laugh now as WALL STREET collapses down to SHIT...lets see where the jew and whites go? To the roof of the building to jump off hopefully... And if america is so concerned about patriotism why are the returning soldiers being treated like shit, being denied benefits and even now a young Hispanic man who supposedly jumped on top of a hand grenade to protect his troops is being DENIED a medal of honor....YOU POOR PATRIOTIC IDIOTS...believing all that bullshit about america. The more I think about it the more I CAN NOT STAND ALL THAT AMERICA STANDS FOR AND THE ASSHOLES WHO STAND UP FOR WHAT AMERICA IS..
What all of you "PATRIOTS" need to do is educate yourself on how america achieved all that it has. And then watch as all of it is TAKEN AWAY!!!!!...by way of white greed and ignorance. If anything is to be acted on...ACT ON THE GREED AND LYING OF WHITES THAT HAS COST AMERICA ALL THAT IT HAS WRONGLY ACHIEVED. Now that the problems are trickling down to EFFECT EVERYONE...lets see how well your PATRIOTISM stands up when you're on the street begging for coins to survive...
The man has his GOD GIVEN RIGHTS to express what so ever displeases him...PUBLICLY AND PRIVATELY... If you don't like it then don't listen.

Quakeroats, where do you live? We already know that Sampson hates the US and lives in the UK, what about you?
In responce to your "or maybe you should just mind your own business" comment:
Just as Howard has a right to utter his anti-american and idiotic comments which offends many of us, I have a right to criticize him for being an as-hole.
I find plenty to criticize in this country as well, but those that care help in any small way they can to continue changing it to become better.

I bet he thinks his ignorant ass was 'helping' Obama. What a jackass.

ISNT THAT WHAT A TYPICAL BLACK VOTER IS RIGHT NOW FOR OBAMA THEY DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE VOTING FOR HIM JUST THE FACT THAT HE IS BLACK.............

No, sir - that freedom is NOT God-given, although some of our God-Country guys might agree with you.
The freedom to say what you want is guaranteed by our Constitution, which was given to us by man. More importantly, it is PROTECTED for us by men and women.
That said, what you must must must understand is that freedom of expression is a two-way street.
People cannot control what he said, but he cannot control how people choose to react. If I don't like what he said, I have EVERY right to condemn him for his remarks.

HELLO STUPID...You just re-affirmed what I said
His right to express his opinion is GOD GIVEN and the constitution protects this GOD GIVEN right. NO MAN OR WOMAN gave any man THE RIGHT to speak or to say what he or she wishes. If a person wishes to rebut what someone says that is alright...but when calls are made to SILENCE someone or to punish the person or act upon what someone said is not only a violation of the GOD GIVEN rights, but also a violation of the man made constitutions authority to protect that GOD GIVEN right that person has.
YOU OBVIOUSLY NEED A COURSE IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

The authors were (for the most part) intelligent men who knew that presenting the Constitution as a 'God-mandated/God-inspired' document would give it far more authoritative appeal to the masses.

Tre-well spoken.
You can't make any sense to someone who doesn't even have a fuking clue.
As far as Josh Howard, I for one couldn't care less about what comes out of his mouth. It's obvious tht he has a brain the size of a field mouse.
Josh, Go smoke another joint and STFU you ass clown.

The problem with things like this and what Artest said a month ago is that right or wrong there is a stigma attached to young black males as being lazy, ignorant, drug dealer, etc, etc. And like you said when a young black male becomes successful he is looked up to by the black youth. If he or any rapper says these things the impressionable youth will think it is okay to say as well.
Then the white successfull population, who are just looking for an excuse to condemn the black youth culture gets to say "I told you so" and thus black people take a step backwards.
It's just like when idiot white people like Kramer or the Dog make rascist statements. It gives the black populace ammunition to continue to view all white people as closeted rascists.
Either way we all loose ground.
-
agree with you 100 percent.
Shut up you fat greasy trailer trash rag head

Only in America people get all bent out of shape over a dumb Athelte making ignorant ass comments, but yet praise the president as he wipes his ass with the Constitution.. GO figure

Well, you're sure not going to get a lot of black outrage on this board. Why don't you try preaching this same message on allhiphop.com and see how many will catch your drift.
