F... Josh Howard

What does being black have to do with the star spangled banner? Maybe I am missing something here, but is howard really smart enough to know that many black slaves fought for the British in promise of freedom?

If he did, then sure great. But I think Josh is just an idiot who ties the anthem with white people, and dislikes it for that fact.

You should know by now, that there's still a generation of Blacks bitter over Civil Rights and slavery and all that bullshit. Civil Rights I can get. Slavery? No way.

(I use bullshit loosely. Its not really bullshit)

Right I know that, but we are talking about the star spangled banner, written in 1814, and Civil war and Civil rights movement were alot later.

I guess I can see the song represents America, and it was white run at the time, but again I ask, did Josh howard protest for that reason? I think not. SS seems right that he thought it's gangsta he is not listening to authority.
