31. ~ Sorry, ya bright bulb, but being gay isn't a CHOICE. Have you completed grammar school yet, because you should KNOW that. If you can't believe the "media", than believe "THE SCIENTISTS". No one would choose to be one of the MOST discriminated people around based soley on who they LOVE, if they could CHOOSE it. Get a clue. How about treating all Humans like HUMANS. Now that's an original thought. If you support bigotry & racism, than you won't find anything wrong w/ this loser's statement, if think bigotry & racism are bad things, than you're probably apalled at the comments. Yes he has a right to say them, and I guess people have a right to burn crosses and where white hoods. That doesn't make it a good thing! Peace:)
14. I think it's funny. Now a days if you say anything negative about the gays you get beat up pretty bad. Just goes to show you the power of the media and hollywood trying to make it normal which it isn't. His use of the word hate is the only thing that I think he said that was wrong. If you don't like gay people that's fine. But to say you hate them yes that's wrong. Remember being black isn't a choice, gay is!

33. Hey sthoover, it's not wrong to love someone of the same sex. I agree that hate is a harsh word. You don't have to like anything. Just because being gay isn't normal in YOUR world doesn't make it wrong.

Posted at 1:17PM on Feb 15th 2007 by It's not wrong

34. Well I never herd of him. Black men are more homophobic than red neck white boys! I will think twise the next time. an African American Church is raising money for whatever reason. The church hates gay people and so whenever some church is selling crap at my door I will say NO THANK YOU.

35. Here we go again, another black man practicing his freedom of speech and he gets slammed by the white population. If it were a white man it would probably not have ended up on tmz.com. It really disgusts me that a man is degrated because of his skin color. The media tries to brainwash and convince everyone that homosexuality is natural and gays should have all these personal rights. Just because some of us are still sane and not deluted by the media and increasing disorder of homosexuality does not give you the right to challenge our beliefs. We gave you homos a finger and you want the hand, I live for the day when you're robbed of all your rights and put in mental hospitals.

36. Now look at all the comments calling him a N-word. He didn't use the faggot word, did he? gay a choice being black not.

37. But if someone were to make it known that they hated black people, I bet he'd be the first to jump down their throats.

38. WHAT A COMPLETE FOOL!
I LOVE how he says that there shouldn't be any gays in the U.S.
I say throw his black ass back on the boat to Africa!!

Posted at 1:19PM on Feb 15th 2007 by I HATE YOU!

39. Comment 6 is AWESOME! (Not that I agree at all or that I think the commenter is in any way serious, but it should make that bigot and people like him think about things before they open their mouths. Certainly a MAJORITY of people used to feel this way about Blacks, and many still do). P.S. I love "Black people" in brackets as a clever substitute for the word that would have made the point even stronger without actually using that word.

40. Considering the stigma placed on gay Black men/Afro American men I can see where the rant originated. I can also see that this guy is probably so far in the closet that he'll soon reach China.

Have you heard the term "on the down low"?

"Me thinks the brother does protest too much"

42. Hardaway’s rant sounds like he is a closeted queen.

Posted at 1:24PM on Feb 15th 2007 by imblackinflorida

43. two words for y'all: FREE SPEECH.
So, its ok for the country to bash President Bush and God but not ok to bash gays, blacks, whites, straights, etc...... where exactly should we draw the line??

44. Wow! F*** you Hardaway! Do you know some people hate you just because you're black (remember it wasn't so long ago when blacks had to sit in da back of the bus)! They don't know you or what you're like but they just hate you cause of the way you were born! Is there really a difference in hating someone for being black or for hating someone for being gay(no it's not a choice just like you didn't choose your skin color)? I hope someone calls you a ni**** to your face- maybe then you'll know how it feels like for someone to hate you for no other reason except the way you were born! Ignorant piece of sh*t!

45. Right on Tim. It's correct to speak your mind. You do not have to like "gays" any more than you have to like to drink milk or lift weights like I do every day. I'm no fan of "gays" either.

Good thing Tim doesn't work for the networks because he'd be fired for speaking his mind instead of their PC pablum.
