Mark Cuban: "If I see a Black Kid with a Hoody and it's late at night, I'm Crossin the Street..."

[playmaker88]

Yup just seen that she didnt really challenge him on that..enough to the point where he had to account for his reasoning

and he diverted the convo to "professionalism"

Why are you fools removing the context in which Cuban made his comments. Let's not forget his assertions were spoken as it pertains to the Sterling situation. To which I respond what the fuck does a black man at 2am have to do with the ignorant comments Sterling made?

I'm failing to see the connection between "I don't want you hanging with black people," and "I'm crossing the street at 2am in the morning." Those are NOT the same types of prejudice. You talking to me about crossing the street at 2am but what about the 23hrs in the day where you're prejudiced towards me.

Further, I don't believe Cuban should get in trouble for his statements b/c quite frankly they weren't that serious. Just his own uninformed ignorance. The issue I have and I'm sure others have is that many ppl are trying to say what MC said was "okay."

Fuck no it's not okay. That type of irrational thinking is what lends itself to young black men like myself and many of you becoming targeted & profiled. Don't allow them to pull the veil over your eyes and tell you it's because of a damn hoodie. You make them uncomfortable no matter what you have on.

dude is saying "yes i'm a racist, yes i am prejudice.... but here's why"

and niggaz is going

he makes an excellent argument

not really. you mean to tell me you have never seen a group of black guye and new they were trouble.

also if black people agree its prolly cause we racist to. how many time you seen a white guy in a suit and assumed he wasnt a criminal. its the same thing.

It's not about seeing a group of people and whether or not he think's it's trouble. He just proved that in his mind he agrees with the stereotypical image of black male+hoodie= potential robbery. A hoodie means it's cold/chilly not a potential robbery is about to happen 98% of the time. Anyone whose face you can't see at night would cause someone to be more aware whether they're black, white, green or purple. There's no need to inject race into that and he did it needlessly.

black folks are fucking dumb. So nevermind the fact that he said if he saw a white guy with tats on his face, his crossing back to the street with the black dude and the hoodie huh?

Now a hoodie means its cold and chilly, nevermind the fact that we know a hoodie, baggie jeans and tims perfect the grimy look that we all seen in the hood and in rap videos.

Now every nigga in here trusting every nigga in the world

You niggas are not being wise nor real about this whole thing. Which is unfortunate, because black folks don't know which fights to pick. This shit is minimal as fuck.

Like you niggas trusting a nigga in 2 am in a damn hoodie. Or a white dude with tats on his face. FOH

Smh

So a white guy wearing a hoodie with no facial tattoes out walking late at night is nothing to fear, but a random blk person wearing a hoodie out late at night is more than likely a person up to no good?

U realize that is what cuban is essentially saying right? Lol

 

[playmaker88]

White people version of racism is synonymous with someone calling someone a dummy

For the most part....

Shit you cant even say the word jew...

That last sentence sharp said was poignant

Context

 

[Dupac]

again..

he's trying to justify his prejudice by saying

"so you telling me if you see a black person with a hoodie on at 2am you not gonna be scared?"

it's an absurd statement to validate an offensive point of view....

i'm not even offended forreal, cuz the shit's ridiculous... but i 100% believe that he should be called out on it, i see no reason why he should get a pass..if he lost his team i would find it hilarious...
