NBA ATHLETES CAN’T PUBLICLY SAY ‘FREE PALESTINE’

In this clip from a 6 January 2025 interview on ‘The Gauds Show,’ eight-time National Basketball League (NBA) All-Star champion Dwight Howard explained the limitations that come with being a professional athlete, mentioning the NBA commissioner and others once asked him to delete a tweet that said ‘free Palestine.’ A single post almost got @DwightHoward (X) kicked out of the league.

Pan-Africanist Malcolm X (1925-65), asserted that celebrities are not leaders but ‘puppets and clowns that have been set up over the Black community’, so it makes that the powers that be would be outraged when a Black athlete tweets something that goes against their interests. How dare he?! He also added that Black celebrities ‘say exactly what they know that the white man wants to hear.’

Howard’s experience confirms the only way to survive within the white supremacist system is to dance only to the beat of the masters' choosing.
