Maybe Jesse Jackson and Gloria Allred can represent a couple of gay white people and go on Larry King and demand an apology and some quick cash from Uncle Tom Hardaway.

There's a huge difference between directly insulting someone with racial slurs in a comedy club and bashing an entire group of people, though none specifically.

So, can we assume that you agree with Mr. Hardaway?

Dweeze

On her Web page bio (http://cbs4.com/bios/local_bio_053140426), she writes the following after "Favorite Moviestar":

"Not sure about her acting but I have a big crush on Angelina Jolie."

Atta girl!

Other info from her bio: Her favorite food is pizza, which, judging by the size of her arms, must also be her favorite food to purge.

"Hi, what's the problem?"

"I don't know, it just stopped running and I had to pull to the side."

"Did you check with the trans?"

"They know nothing about cars. You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

I realize that A.I. disavowed his hip-hop alter-ego (Jewelz?), but it's been almost six years since the uproar over "40 Bars"... We've had time to come around on A.I. Now, he needs to re-issue the back-catalog, as any beloved artist does.

That said, I demand a split 7" of "40 Bars"/"One in a Million". Release it on Universal/Interscope as Blaxl. It will sell like crack at half-off in Liberty City.

Making an ass of yourself is a federally protected right. Look on the bright side, Hardaway has essentially "come out of the closet" and shown us what a prick he is. Now he's easily identifiable. The world is a better place when you know who the nuts are and can keep track of them.

I think "hate speech", in order for it to be a crime, has to be a directed threat, doesn't it? If it's not libel, obscenity (very subjective) or "fighting words"/fomenting a disturbance I think it's considered protected.

Time to flash my libertarian badge here. Yes, as poorly-chosen and mentally deficient as his words and attitude may be, there is nothing Tim Hardaway said that can get him sued or thrown in jail.

But harrassed and ridiculed for the next five years? Please, be my guest, America.

(For the record, I like the gays. I like their music, I like their sense of style, and I especially like what they've done with Halloween.)

Chamomiles Davis

No worries. That statement deserved to be posted twice.

It absolutely is. Hardaway's comment only highlights how rampant it is. Who in his right/sober mind would go on radio and openly say he's homophobic, unless he really thought there was nothing wrong with being homophobic. I'd be very curious what percentage of America is homophobic. I bet it's higher than any of us can imagine.

He has a right to his own opinion. Not that it makes him less of a Jerkwheat.

True, and so will NBA rappers (see AI - Forty Bars). Homophobia is rampant, I tell you.

Also I second OchentaYcinco that the rainbow graphic behind Hardaway is the best part of that video. He probably threw up a little in his mouth for being that close to gayness.

But at the same time, rappers will openly bash gay people. (Bash isn't even a harsh enough word.) The NBA stays fairly quiet about the subject, excluding of course this recent uproar caused in part by Tim Bug.

I also find it hard to believe that Tim Hardaway has never been teamed with a player (in the NBA, Olympics, or an All-Star squad) who was arrested for some morally reprehensible crime:
- beating a woman
- masturbating in a parked car while drunk
- sticking a penis in a woman's poop chute when there is serious doubt as to whether she was OK with that
- cheating on your wife repeatedly and acquiring AIDS in the process
- shooting your limo driver
- popping off shots after a brawl outside of a strip club
- running into the stands and beating up the wrong fan
- choking the shit out of your coach

But this is what gets him riled up? Oh...this and the war.

Well, there is a rapper who currently performs who is openly gay (can't remember his name), but no current NBA player who is openly gay, so make of that what you will.
