Stay Classy, America

By now you’ve probably heard about Josh Howard’s comments about the National Anthem.  His comments were ridiculed and rightfully so.  Mavericks owner and Howard’s employer, the ever controversial Mark Cuban, runs a blahg called blogmaverick, where he writes about whatever catches his fancy.  After J-Ho’s comments went mainstream, emails poured into Cuban’s inbox with suggestions for how to handle the situation.  Some of the comments were, um, less than P.C.  Cuban, ever one to call someone out, posted some of the emails on blogmaverick for the world to see, including the senders’ email addresses.  I’m guessing people ignorant enough to make these kind of statements are ignorant enough to put their real names and email addresses.  Take the jump for a sampling of the emails.  Be forewarned of graphic content. 

Thanks to Cush for the tip.

Mr. Cuban,

Just saw your nigger Josh Howard  disresepct the national anthem because he is black. According to the news you say he is a really great guy. Of course he is because he makes you lots of money you greedy bastard.

You would rather sell out your own country that my dead father fought for in WW II than than lose a buck by firing this black bastard.

You are nothing more than a nigger slave owner milking him for all his black ass can get you.

YOU, SIR IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY. YOU AND THAT NIGGER YOU CALL NICE.

There’s lots of black dick on that team, get busy. White power is coming back because of race traitors like you.

Know what you get when you cross a nigger and a white nigger lover ? a  WHIGGER. THAT IS YOU !!!!

Mark WHIGGER Cuban. A White storm is brewing Mr. Cuban, you and those niggers like you better evacuate.
