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

[Kat]

Can't be upset with his comments. It's the truth. It's no different than if I see some white sheet and white hooded men walking in my direction. It's going to raise my alarm.

I see no problem with what he said.

lol..wut?

i misinterpreted this part. u r obviously referring to ghosts...

i don't see how black kids in hoodies are as scary as ghosts tho.

Let's not pretend a black person in a hoodie at 2 am isn't the face of white fear.

i gotta ask why this is ok with y'all...?

g'head and yell out that you don't want to give your money to thieving jews and see what happens...

That's not honesty bruh.

That's him tryin' to put nicely, the same shit Donald Sterling said on that recording.

He's just saying that "everybody thinks like that" to make it sound better.

I know a lot of MFs who don't think like that, including me.

I think it also has to do with your upbringing if you've lived in the hood most of your life seeing a kid with a hoody late at night ain't nothing and even a tattooed dude wouldn't faze you but if your from the suburbs or more affluent neighborhoods that shit is foreign and you only know of the stereotypes associated with it.

What I don't get is ... Race threads (like this) get made everyday. Why is it only when I make them that some people act like I'm trolling for making them?

Anyway, something is wrong with you if you read what Cuban said as a defense of Sterling.

what was his intention? he just feels like announcing to the world that he's afraid of black kids in hoodies and u should b too?

OK. I read more of his comments, and I see what people mean. He's saying that Sterling shouldn't be forced to sell.

I expect your dumb ass to not understand what I'm saying. Wise maphukas will understand my viewpoint. Real maphukas who aren't lying to themselves will understand this. I expect you to not...just the same as I would expect Mark Cuban to say these things.

idiot: i have an irrational fear of black skin!

u guys: i respect your honesty... please continue to use said fear as a motivation to oppress blacks...

 

[Bussy_Getta]

Hmmmm darx right tho.... My ass will cross the street quick if its 2+ niggas but only cause I dont wanna be holla'd at. White men a lil more timid when it comes to that shit.

Unless they're the kidnap, rape, eat you and wear your skin as clothes type.

It ain't okay it's a stereotype. Most whites just get extra cautious but they ain't openly shooting niggas in hoodies (except for trayvon).

Glad somebody gets it. Like I said, shit is alien to him.

@Pico, that avi shall replace my shaq face file.

The 1st step to addressing a problem is to admit to it & it takes even more guts & heart to say that publicly, as someone in his position of power, with so much to lose. I bet he feels better getting it off his chest.

nah... the power is that he doesn't have anything to fear by saying it.

Why tf are yall mad tho?

Oh really? Cause I now see those that responded before me had a similar reaction.

A hoodie is nothing like a fucking Klan outfit.

A white hood was adopted by a specific hate group, it was embraced as their uniform.

Hoodies are worn casually across the board, by all types.

So if you meant something different, maybe you should explain yourself better, cause your argument is looking real dumb.

this like the last issue when i was saying, regardless of what point he's trying the make, the entire presentation of it completely overshadows it....

dudes' fishing for a way to justify some ignorant shit, and yall cosigning it on some

"well...he does have a point if you look at it this way"

basically this motherfucker bout to hang himself..and instead of giving him the rope to do so...yall tryna help him live.....

these hoes be actin up, and these niggaz be lettin them

 

[cobbland]

I wonder why Cuban invited Michael Finley into his home, when he is clearly wearing a hoody?

i wish we could get to the core issues here (i.e. the emotional state of the discussants)...

I want the owners votes to be public

I hate chicks like you.

 

[Gucci Scott King]

They're really trying to push that "everybody does it" BS. I can believe that the majority(not all) of us has some sort of prejudice, but to say that everybody has said something similar to "don't bring *blank group* to such and such" or believe that certain groups are 50 to 100% lesser than others is BS. I feel like those who are saying that shit are telling on themselves, instead of making a point.

Soooo a black man in a hoody is just as blatant a threat as a klansman?
