LOL @ anyone taking Josh Howard seriously.
He was joking around with a group of ''friends'' (he thought), trying to be funny. It didn't seem serious at all. People say things they don't really mean all the time; we've had discussions like this before. People make racist comments, for example, around a group of friends, then hang out with that same nigger or wetback or cracker the next day, that they just made fun of. It's not that serious...
And to the people who are crying about him ''taking American money and living the American dream"...he has every right to; He's an American, who pays millions into taxes (property, etc.), does charity work in his community, and mentors young children in ''your'' America. America is supposed to be the ''home of the free''...yet people feel they reserve the right to censor comments/opinions/beliefs that are not 'acceptable' to them; this same freedom of speech Americans treasure so much should apply to everyone, not just people who feel they are in the right.
