Dallas Mavericks Star Disses the National Anthem
Filed under: Zportz > Politik
A new video featuring basketball star Josh Howard is burning up the internet.
A video of him dissing the Star Spangled Banner is getting many hot under the collar.
In the video he says, "'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black."
What the fuckity fuck does he mean by that?!
He's entitled to his opinion, but we think it's a wack thing to say.
The national anthem is not a black, brown, yellow, red or white thing.
It's an American thing.
He is American, right?

perez, you are getting dummer and dummer! common, do you not understand that the so called greatness and wealth of "america" is due to two main things: 1) slavery, 2) selling of arms. slavery made the US wealthy and continues with the continuation of urban plight, anti-immigration rights, anti-gay rights…and selling of arms continue as the US government creates more wars that tax payers suffer for but the military infrastructure (including arms sales and reconstruction) profit from. perez, read a book instead of relying on stupid sound bites and quickie internet clips. hesuse!

going to happen.
Re: flygirl_charlotte –
Of course you want me to "get over it", you had the privilege of growing up as an "All American' white girl in our society. Honey, you are seriously ignorant if you can't understand the history and deep-seeded feelings of anyone who is not white in the US. We live a different life, whether the majority is willing to accept it or not. When you grow up and live as an Indigenous woman in this country, then your ass can tell me to get over it! Until then, knowledge is power sweetie, and you could use some! Read a damn book!
Re: MizzCia – #20
OMG - - - would u rant up ur ass…..oh sorry your head is probably in the way!
STFU
Re: Smirks – You rock Smirks.
Re: MizzCia – omg- you are so annoying. lmao
Re: Smirks –
I'm proud to be an American too, but you have to understand that means something different for every person. Just because I don't support the government and it's propaganda (including the National Anthem), doesn't mean that I hate this country. Many Natives feel that this land is sacred and love America because of it, not because some song that was created for the majority group in America. The flag is a SYMBOL, it is not the essence of this country.
Re: flygirl_charlotte –
That's what RACISTS say when they know they are wrong!
MizzCia is ON POINT. whitegirl_charlotte or whoever you are.. ha. you got schooled.
This is Your Nation on White Privilege
By Tim Wise
September 13, 2008
For those who still can?t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for an easy-to-understand example of it, perhaps this list will help.
White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you, or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as black and Latino families with similar "challenges" are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.
White privilege is when you can call yourself a "fuckin? redneck," like Bristol Palin?s boyfriend does, who likes to "kick ass" if people mess with you, and who likes to "shoot shit," for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.
White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.
White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don?t all piss on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S. Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you?re "untested".
White privilege is being able to say that you support the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance because "if it was good enough or the founding fathers, it?s good enough for me," and not be immediately disqualified from holding office—since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the "under God" part wasn?t added until the 1950s—while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school) requires it, is a dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.
Re: MizzCia – My Country Tis of Thee.
Re: MizzCia – seriously- shut the fuck up. get over yourself. beside me being a white female, you have no idea who I am and what my life has been like. so shut the fuck up. i hate when people are always complaining about the same thing over and over. and i hate when people compare themselves to others that they don't know. GET OVER IT. Either deal with it, or go fucking live somewhere else. This country would be even better if there weren't stupid people always draggin the past up. STOP COMPLAINING. It just makes you uglier!
White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and not make people immediately scared of you.
White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wanted your state to secede from the union, and whose motto was "Alaska first," and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if you?re black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people immediately think she?s being disrespectful.
White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and the work they do–like, among other things, fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights, or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor–and people think you?re being pithy and tough, but if you merely question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college–you?re somehow being mean, or even sexist.
White privilege is being able to convince white women who don?t even agree with you on any substantive issue to vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence in these same white women, and made them give your party a "second look."
Re: MizzCia –
would you just die already? seriously? i cant wait till our government gets sick of your peoples shit
White privilege is being able to fire people who didn?t support your political campaigns and not be accused of abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages in favoritism, while being black and merely knowing some folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means you must be corrupt.
White privilege is being able to attend churches over the years whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and that the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles into government, and who bring in speakers who say the conflict in the Middle East is God?s punishment on Jews for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you?re just a good church-going Christian, but if you?re black and friends with a black pastor who has noted (as have Colin Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who talks about the history of racism and its effect on black people, you?re an extremist who probably hates America.
White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the reporter for asking you such a "trick question," while being black and merely refusing to give one-word answers to the queries of Bill O?Reilly means you?re dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual and nuanced.
Re: cafehead1 – Um that would be "dumber and dumber"…just saying….
White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for president, while being black and experiencing racism is, as Sarah Palin has referred to it a "light" burden.
And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possible allow someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated from world opinion, just because white voters aren?t sure about that whole "change" thing.
Ya know, it?s just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain…
White privilege is…the problem.
Re: _Alice_ – Hey Alice! Thanks, and I typed it from memory, too. How are you? 'Sup in Deutschland?
What a DUMB ASS! hahahaa
You CANNOT argue with stupidity, you really can't. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but he just sounds like a idiot.
Re: MizzCia – I appreciate your thoughtful posts, even though I am diametrically opposed to your viewpoint. We'll just have to agree to disagree
Wow he makes black people look bad. We don't all feel that way! I love my country!
hes an IDIOT.
THE REASON WHY THEIR ARE STILL RACIAL ISSUES IN THE U.S.A.
IS BECAUSE THE BLACK POPULATION CONTINUES TO MAKE IT AN
ISSUE. THEY'RE GIVEN THE WORLD…MORE THAN THE WHITES ARE
GIVEN AND YET IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH. BLACKS ARE THE ONES
THAT HOLD THEMSELVES DOWN.
fyi - If the National Anthem is still being played then it must be about
all US citizens. Otherwise, go write your own and put it on BET!
The USA is fast becoming what was once known as the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. Be careful if you want to protect freedom of speech, of opinion, human rights. Except that the Soviet people were never so vulgar as what I have read here, or violent to the point of wanting to shoot me. What a pity, what has your country become, HELP !!!!!!!
Re: Obamaforpeace – Then why don't you go to a country you're "proud of" and make more space for the Hispanics who want to be
here.
You're an embarrassment to this country.
Re: Anononon – LOVE YOU TOO BOO!
Re: MizzCia – Again, you are proving your ignorance you fucking idiot. Again, you don't know me, and I haven't made one racist comment. So SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! Seriously, you are so fucking ignorant!
that's not an usual comment for a black person. Michelle Obama has frequently expressed his anti-patriotic views. One of the many reasons I will not be voting for Barrack Hussein Obama
Re: MizzCia – #110 - That is crap and you know it. "You live a different life". Give me a fucking break. If you live a different life then it is because YOU choose to, not because of whitey. Damn that is so narrow minded. This post is a perfect example of the rampant racism in America and where it comes from.
Re: stussy – i got "schooled". lol. i got schooled because someone is feeling discriminated against? And because she doesn't respect our flag and our national anthem?? say whatever the fuck you want to. You are just as ignorant.
Re: dickhead – I can't believe what a racist you are. why do you hate black people so much? Did your dad stop fondling you and leave you for a black man?
Gah. You people are such stupid slut monkeys. The NAACP adopted "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" as the black national anthem sometime around 1920, and quite frankly my cracker ass is of the opinion "Lift Ev'ry Voice" would be much more fitting for a national anthem considering our past. It has nothing to do with being unpatriotic, but the national anthem does not speak to the non-white citizens of this country.
He just proved the cover of the New Yorker magazine.
If he's American then he should show some pride at the tradition of taking a minute to salute the flag.
If he doesn't like the song why doesn't he take $100,00 of his money and start a movement to change it to America the Beautiful or something - Brad Pitt just threw that much money at a problem - why does this guy think he can just whine
Sometimes, I'm so grateful that I'm British! Okay the guy was wrong for saying what he said and he seemed like an asshole. But why does that make you any better for insulting black people in general. He doesn't speak for the rest of black people. And mentioning Obama's name is out of the fucking question! Howard insulted Obama in the process yet we are blaming him. Sometimes Americans make me sick to my stomach because of their ignorant actions. In England this wouldn't been a big deal, I fucking love being a Brit.
P.S. Noone should be killed for not wanting to sing a National Anthem.
Re: flygirl_charlotte – You are a vulgar person, wash your mouth with soap please.
Re: stussy – #124
I am sorry for what your life must be like to buy into this culture of victimhood. I work for a very large and multi-cultural company. I work side by side with black-americans, white-americans, chinese-americans, vietnamese-americans, and a new US citizen recently from Ghana. Everyone seems to be doing quite well.
Anyone who refuses to show their allegiance to this country should be asked to leave. In some countries they'd be shot, hung, or beheaded for showing a lack of patriotism in even the slightest way. There is nothing wrong in showing pride in being an American. We do that by pledging our allegiance to our flag, singing the national anthem, displaying our flag at the appropriate times, etc. If you choose not to do those things because you don't feel proud to be an American then you shouldn't be here. Very simple.
Re: Smirks – All's good in the land of brat and beer:) I'm feeling slightly confused by some of these posts though. I understand some of the hatred, I do. But I still feel proud and I very much believe in our Constitution. I don't pretend to understand what it is to be black in America. I will never understand. But if you feel that strongly and you hate our country that much…why not leave? Why stay when you feel such hatred and disgust? The fact is, America has an incredibly violent past. But so do ALL countries. All countries have a bloody past. I'm sad that our country is in the state it's in right now, but it was built on principles I very much still believe in. I wish we could find a government that feels the same way! Our Constitution is a wonderful thing, we just need a government to be beholden to it.
Re: Cleopatra –
why is it, everytime i am at the mall, some fat black lady is not watching her kids screaming across the mall about some stupid shit and then when one of her dumb ass little kids runs into someone she gets all confrontational about it. your holding yourselves back. your culture is a joke, your a joke, and your self destructive nature is going to render you fucking idiots extinct. its been hundreds of years since slavery, get your fucking shit together.
Re: Melissa is always right – thanks Melissa. lol. you are always right.
Re: pinkindie – #99. you're no racist but saying "go back to africa" is one of the most racist things you can say. get some class and an education.
Re: stussy – white priveledge also includes living in a community without destroying it. answer me this asshole. why does everywhere white people live flourish and everywhere black people live turn into a fucking cesspool? and don't blame whitey you stupid motherfucker

Re: Anononon – If you love being a Brit, you must be on the dole.
Re: UberBling – i keep reading about "my people came through ellis island" or "my people fought hard to win their rights as americans". Well thats all good and dandy, but my people were brought over here on boats and were shackeled up like animals, and treated like the dirt we walk on. Yes we were and are still treated like shit, and my ancestors were the ones who cleaned up after White America, then when our FREEDOM WAS HANDED TO US, we fought side by side with the same people who ancestors enslaved us for all those years, and YOU PEOPLE SIT UP HERE AND SAY HOW DARE HE NOT SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! As a black child you are raised knowing your history and when you learn your history and really study it you start to realize that none of this shit(Pledge of aligence,national anthem,constitution)really applies to you and at the time all THIS SHIT WAS WRITTEN OUR PEOPLE WEre PICKING FUCKING COTTON!

Re: _Alice_ – EXACTLY! I absolutely agree with your last post. I am NOT a racist person. And I am far from ignorant. I have served 6 years in our military and I am proud of our country. No matter what happened in our past, why do people always bring it up? Learn from it, move on. Every country has some bad history. Regardless of some of our history, shouldn't every American be proud to live here, be proud of what we have overcome? No matter what our past is?
Re: _Alice_ – Well said, Alice. I don't get it either. If I hated America, to the extent that I considered the Anthem "propaganda" I wouldn't be here. Until people stop focusing on that which divides us we will never achieve unity.
Re: dickhead –
Dude, you don't get around much. Check out the crank-infested white communities. And I've seen plenty of black neighborhoods in my southern town that are equivalent or nicer than a lot of upper middle class neighborhoods. You are a dick munch.
And bringing up how slavery ended a hundred or so years ago doesn't begin to talk about the legalized racism against black people and a denial of their rights as American citizens even within the past few decades. Remember Jim Crow laws or did you conveniently forget? Separate but equal (but not really equal)? The continuation of slavery through the legal system where black people who were charged with crimes were then sent for years to work for private citizens AFTER they served their time?
Slavery may have ended, but racism did not and you are a prime example.
Re: jmc – here is another person living in the past.
Re: kal1111 – the more you speak the stupider you look. Go read a book instead of going by what your daddy told you
Re: jmc – I do read history. The early Americans were slave buyers. Who SOLD the slaves to the slave traders? Huh?
Re: flygirl_charlotte – You are so disgusting. You probably live in a trailer park and have 3 kids. get a life
Oh please. Shut the fuck up all you annoying ass stuck up people. He can say whatever the fuck he wants. Who cares. Doesn't mean he hates America. Maybe he just doesn't like the song. It is fucking annoying. I don't like the Pledge of Alligance because I believe in the separation of church and state and I don't get why we are calling ourselves a nation under god when some people don't believe in god. Does that mean I hate America and should be burnt at the stake? GROW UP YOU FUCKING ANNOYING FUCKERS WHO HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT THAN YOU. I hate Americans they do suck and I cant wait to move to Europe and tell them all how right they are haha FUCK OFF
Re: jmc – Also, I'd like to know what has to happen and how many years have to pass for you to move on from this past. Yes, it was shameful and horrible. It got fixed. Why perpetuate problems that don't exist anymore?
Re: stussy – Kudos! These fools have no response in an inkling of intellegence. They don't understand! lmao
That's hilarious that this is a big deal…a big deal to me is Obama doing and saying the EXACT same thing and it not being mentioned EVER. Let's have a President of the United States of America who is MORE ANTI-AMERICA than anyone!!! Why don't we just have Saddam run America??? I mean come on people, his middle name is Hussein…need I say more???
The fact that a basketball player who is anti-american raises more concern than a Presidental nominee who is most certainly anti-american is SICKING!!!! WAKE UP!!!!
He's a stupid negro. What do you expect? He won't sing the National Anthem, but he'll sure as hell cash those American checks. Typical.
Re: starburst65 – - no children, no trailer, just your average middle class white female. And- how am I disgusting? Because I am proud of the history of my country? wow, soo disgusting!!!
Re: dickhead – I wish someone would publicly execute you. You are a waste of perfectly good oxygen. If you should keel over and die one day, I hope you know it is karma because you are a disgusting person and NOT a health condition. Have a good day
Re: Smirks – Thank you. African Kings SOLD their own people?! White America is not all alone when it comes to our past. I don't excuse slavery but WHO sold who?
And it's FACT. Read history books people.
Re: dickhead – #150 umm, trailer parks don't seem to florish. Mostly white people occupy those.
I'm sure he'll take his money in American dollars. NBA players are dumber than a sack of bricks… I should know. Smart girls find them easy to use, to say the least. Thanks for all the Louis!
Re: Sammy – No, no, no. He should not have to keep his opinions to himself. This is AMERICA and he is a citizen. He should not have to hold his tongue because he's an athlete and in the public guy. We have the freedom to speech, even if that speech is against this currently awful country. I give him respect for not GIVING A FUCK instead of putting on an act for the people. FUCK YOU ALL what does he have to prove to you??
Re: kooolaidred – I agree with you. It's primarily a class issue not a race issue. I also agree that there is unfortunately still racism, but it is not only perpetrated by whites. Plenty of blacks are racist toward whites. The lower the class of society, whether white or black, in the trailer parks and in the projects, the more racism you find - both ways.
Re: MizzCia –
I know what you mean. Im American Indian as well. I remeber all though high school not standing for Pledge of Alligence, or singing that song. If someone doesnt want to participate red, black, blue or from Mars they shouldnt have to.
Re: kooolaidred –
kool aid , how appropriate. shut the fuck up. fuck communities look at countries. look at sweden and look at africa. look at europe and look at the caribbean. look at any white country and then look at any black country. and any problems that any of the european countries or america is having is because of you stupid criminal apes. fuck you and your ignorant hand me my check bullshit. go out and fucking work. in the U.S. we are LEGALLY REQUIRED to hire you and you still fuck it up. how much of a piece of shit must you be, if we have laws passed saying we HAVE to hire you. strap that on for size cocksucker?
Re: dickhead –
ok dickhead, and while we're at lets send your sorry ass back to whatever country your ancestors are from, unless you are an American Indian because they are are only ones who can honestly say they were "here first".
Re: Obama412 – You're right. It is America and he is free to say whatever he wants. Similarly, we are free to condemn his actions. Similarly, you are free to tell us to fuck off. Isn't America great?
It's not a black thing, or a white thing. It's a you're a ridiculously overpaid moron and not much is expected of you besides throwing a ball so fucking follow the damn rules of the NBA thing.
Re: flygirl_charlotte –
Nothing left to articulate with so you explode like a bratty little white girl. TYPICAL!
Re: adrockamd – Please give me a good reason why you would vote for McCain. Because seriously, I can't think of anyone that has a brain that is going to vote for him.
Send him to Afghanistan. Preferrably strapped to a missile.
Re: stussy –
very true
Re: starburst65 – at least white people pay for their trailer and dont get knocked up and claim section 8 like you wastes of fucking life
Re: misspositivity – i'm not going anywhere cunt. my ancestors killed those fucking indians fair and square. deal with it.
Re: flygirl_charlotte –
You are right, I don't know you and for that, I AM GLAD! Why is it that every time a racist gets called out on their BS, they have to resort to using language like "ignorant", "fucking idiot", "moron", etc. Oh, I know why, it's because they are so UNEDUCATED AND UNAWARE that they would rather pretend these issues don't exist or have disappeared. I am glad I don't know you honey because you are a bad person with an ugly heart or at least as far as your comments show. I'm pretty sure most of the others replying to your "fucking idiotic" comments would agree
Oh and thank you to Smirks! Even though we disagree, you can approach me like an ADULT without bring the High School drama into it. I appreciate and respect that!
Re: Obama412 – i wish someone would publicly make you get a fucking job, and while were on the subject i wish someone would tell black people to stop acting like fucking retards and maybe people might respect them.
Re: flygirl_charlotte – I have read some of "Cleopatra's" previous posts, she herself is hateful so I wouldn't put much weight in what she writes. Some of the others are truly shameful. If this guy lived anywhere else he would jailed for what he did.
Re: starburst65 – "these fools have no response in an inkling of intelligence" what the fuck does that even mean. how do you expect to be taken seriously when you say fucking nonsense shit like that.
hahahahahah@the white people getting angry at him not wanting to sing a song that had NOTHING to do with his ancestors, as they were considered animals. Judging from the comment they still are.
hahahah why are you all so angry when you think he's just an "ignorant Black man" anyways. It's like no matter what…you have to find a reason to hate someone. The guy didn't say he wasn't American…he just didn't want to sing the fucking song. The original state song for Alabama had the fucking word "darkies" in it. Would he be UnAmerican if he didn't want to sing that either. You're all a bunch of stupid ass ignorant people.
Have a nice day.
Re: dickhead –
dickhead you are pathetic. Are you sitting on your PC right now waiting to leave another asshole comment ? Im sure you are because your life is pathetic. Oh and for the sake of argument, there are white countries that are less developed and educated than MANY in africa, look at Eastern Europe, Moldova for example, all poor white people. Dont waste your time trying to respond to me, I have better things to do than wait to see who comments next on a silly site like, I just had to call your sorry junior KKK ass out.
Re: flygirl_charlotte –
Oh, and btw GENIUS, genocide still happens in this country everyday! How do we "move on" from that? Get some education before you defend your prejudice opinions!
Re: MizzCia –
They always get angry when you tell the truth.
Re: flygirl_charlotte – Well, the fact is we took land and blood from the native American's and we had black slaves. It's fucking grotesque what our ancestor's did. But, you and I are not responsible for that. And I refuse to apologize for it. Is it embarrassing to know that's what they did? Of course. It's deplorable. But tell me what country doesn't have that past? Look at all the history throughout the world. Are we REALLY the worst? Please.
The question is, what CAN we do? And the answer is NOTHING. What could I possibly do to make up for it? Give back, give money, say I'm sorry? I can't do it because I wasn't there! I'm not a racist but I'm tired of being called one because I'm white.
My great great great grandmother was raped by a Brit. Do I hate British people because of it? No. It didn't happen to me and I will not play victim because bad things to me. I'm responsible for my life. Me. Living in the past will not bring a good future. Deal with it. Move on. Become a productive member of society. Stop whining and crying. How does whining even help?
Bill Cosby had it right. COME ON PEOPLE!
Re: flygirl_charlotte – You're a fucking stupid, close-minded bitch. I guess you want everyone burnt at the stake if they disagree with your views, huh? This is America, and we have freedom of speech. I hate this country. It sucks, and it's disgustingly corrupt. The people here are so heartless, fake, close-minded, and ignorant, just like YOU. I was BORN here you dumb fuck. I didnt CHOOSE to be an American citizen, it was FORCED upon me by my parents birthing me here. I'm not even 20 yet so I don't have the money or the means to leave this shitty country, but you better believe I will be OUT if shit doesn't change when I am financially on my feet (if that's even possible in this shithole). Fuck off, you fucking Nazi. I should not have to leave the country because I don't like it. You're sickening.
Re: MizzCia – You're welcome. I actually respect and listen to all viewpoints. It's the only way I actually learn and evolve. If everyone would be more open-minded, I think it would go a long way to healing the issues that need healing in this country.
Re: jessiedee – Cause Josh Howard represents all black people? If you think blacks don't like the country because of this ONE comment, you're an ignorant fuck and your opinion doesnt matter anyway.
Re: dickhead –
You are a fucking moron. First off, look up the affect of European colonialism. Europeans played their share. Second, keep showing your racist stupidity. You completely missed the mark. I'm a white woman with white children and a white husband. College educated and no one has never handed me a job. I just happen to be a realist when it comes to the affects of history. They don't disappear overnight and people like you prove it time and again.
To the idiot who claimed African kings "sold their own people." Sure. In the exact same way if Britain invaded France and sold off all the French as slaves. You know, because all white people are the same.
Re: flygirl_charlotte – Actually, anyone who doesn't respect difference of opinion is ignorant and should be burnt at the stake
DIE.
Re: MizzCia – ok you want me to reply intelligently with no foul language. fine. i am appalled that your people have been given so many pushes in the right direction and still can't get it together. africa is the laughingstock of the planet. the way you people behave publicly in america in this day and age is sickening, and it is reprehensible that you believe after doing so that you deserve respect. you sold yourselves to us. you weren't the first people to be enslaved, and you probably wont be the last, but i guarantee you are the only people to use it as a crutch for sitting around and not doing anything for 200 years. take your "knowledge" and "education" and use it, instead of sitting on the steps of the mall waiting to confront and intimidate people.
Re: Fay Kit Knightly – "SO, ANYONE THAT GOES AGAINST AMERICA SHOULD BE FORCED TO LEAVE AMERICA AND NEVER EVER COME BACK! "
OK HITLER!! Lets go back to hanging people for speaking out against the government! WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
YOU ALL SOUND LIKE HITLER FUCKING NAZI DICTATORSHIP WORSHIPERS. You disgusting pieces of shit, America is a free country and we have freedom of speech, which includes speaking AGAINST this awful country. Go hang yourselves.
Re: dickhead – If you don't understand go back and get your GED. The name you chose is very appropriate, Kudos
