Did Howard Really Grow up in a Black Neighborhood?

[bigkitty]

I ask because he's always "shocked" by typical black women's features i.e. round butt. He's always going on and on about big butts and calling the women who have them "fat." If he really lived around black people, he'd be pretty familiar with that particular build. He's always calling Rihanna fat and she doesn't even have the stereotypical black woman's butt. What gives? Is it just more of his shtick?

Howard likes his people skinny. I guess you mean that "particular build" being overweight or obese.

Please stop.

It sounds to me that Howard spent 1 year in Roosevelt once it started to go black. Ben isn't the type of guy to take a beating on a real estate deal. When he saw the value dropping he sold fast. Howard speaks about how he was considered an idiot when he moved into the new school as a sophomore.

When I was a kid on LI we'd take the bus to the mall and the bus would go right through Roosevelt. He is NOT LYING.

[bigkitty]

If he's not lying, then he wouldn't be shocked by seeing a woman built like Nikki Minaj, Serena Williams, or Janet Jackson. I didn't say he had to be attracted to those women. Different strokes for different folks. But, he is SHOCKED whenever he sees a woman with that build (small waist, flat stomach, round butt).

[joyceface]

Well I think you mixing the two. In HIS culture its still shocking. Also in the world of Hollywood and stardom when you can have all the fat sucked out of a body part that you want it IS shocking. I didn't see the supposed massive touchas I may add.

I thought Wiggy said the thugs in Roosevelt where Polish.

[Tom Doyers]

No

[AGT Blows]

No

This probably would have been a better smiley.

He calls a lot of very attractive white women fat as well.

And it doesn't have to be ghetto to have problems with black kids. I can still remember being chased around the playground for 30 minutes at recess by the entire black contingent at my elementary school (a whopping 4 boys out of several hundred students) for my lunch money. Thankfully they ate a lot of junk and were fat and slow. Fast forward five years and I can still remember the ONLY BLACK KID in his 7th grade class walking up to my smartass friend on the last day of school and slapping him hard in the face. Because apparently he didn't like a joke he'd made at his expense months before. This was in the heart of the South. The school was literally accross the street from preserved antebellum homes. The stereotype that southern kids in the 70's were out harrassing black minorities strikes me as a joke, as if that were true these guys would all have easily been overwhelmed by numbers.

True. Or this one

[Chuck Kongo]

Yes.

And the blacks beat him up every day.

And Howard also banged models in college.

He's always calling Rihanna fat and she doesn't even have the stereotypical black woman's butt. What gives? Is it just more of his shtick?

For whatever it's worth......when Howard met Rihanna for the very first time(..lasting first impressions.) at party way back when...she was heavier and
"thicker"(..butt and thighs.) looking than she appears to be now in 2013.

[Shithead]

Back in the 50's and 60's when he was growing up black women weren't the fat sows they are now

1969.....The wigged idiot left Roosevelt.
Stern is a serial liar....you must question everything he has ever said.

Maybe Ben & Ray stayed for the black cock?
The Sterns invented cuckolding in 1966.

Maybe the Negros asked Howard to leave because he was such a whiny pussy?

[tv910]

Just like with everything else, Howard is full of shit. There may have been a lot of black students at his school but he definitely wasn't getting punched in the face every day like he claims. There's no way his mother wouldn't have noticed the bruises and marched right down to the principal's office to find out what was going on. If she thought he was in any danger at all she never would have allowed him to go to that school.

[schnauzer]

Like most of Howard's claims, there's probably 2% truth & the rest is exaggeration

[DogStar69]

No, a blaek person moved into their neighborhood when Howard was a senior and they moved the next year.

[LobsterTails]

Howard is the most honest man in show business. Many people call his show and agree with him so it all must be true.



The only person who comes up with more unbelievable stories is JK Rowling, but at least she admits it's all made up.
