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

If I see anybody in a hoodie walking late at night I'm going tf inside.

Why does this have to be about race & not about simple self preservation?

Think that's the point Cuban was making. But his comments were in poor taste given the whole Trayvon Martin debacle.

 
Real shit, I ain't even mad at him. The realist shit he mentioned was that fact that EVERYBODY is bigoted and/prejudiced in some way. The only difference is that some of us are maliciously so and some of us aren't. Pretty clear which one Sterling is. Not really sure about Cuban though.
 
I thnk his flaw here is the reference to "hoody".

It's a position of ok do we a) give him the beneift of the doubt and see where he comin from, and assume he wasnt even thinkin about Trayvon specifically, or

b) That evil cracka know what he doin and is throwin "shade"

Im inclined to chose b.
 
So, does this mean that Mark Cuban is going to be the only owner voting to keep Donald Sterling in the league regardless of his history of racial discrimination against minorities? Cause I don't understand what the fuck this Mark Cuban guy is trying to say.

no, not everyone is a bigot. thats a cop out for being a douche.

I'd challenge you to find one person born and raised in America who isn't booted or prejudiced in some way.
 
Does it makes me prejudice to believe most white Americans support institutional racism when they themselves will tell you that they believe racism doesn't exist anymore?

Because it is about race. They've done studies about kids wearing the exact same outfit in the exact same location and being treated completely different. Skin color dictates the difference in treatment. The show was What Would You Do? The problem stems from a fear Whites have of the "dangerous Black man" where, judging from history, we should be more afraid of them.

To the point of Mark Cuban speaking in a semi defense of Sterling: Why are we continually surprised when whites show their true colors?? Maybe some African Americans get offended because they date whites or they have that cool white friend who "would never do anything racist" or whatever. I stand by my claim that every white person with little exception is incredibly racist towards blacks. Those that say they are colorblind are the most racist. Hopefully we as a group will wake the fuck up. It'll never be unity between White and Blacks. How does someone that continually benefits and depends on the degradation and devaluation of your culture become anything less than an enemy??

There is no spirit of fear in The Most High. So you shall not fear nothing only except The Most High.
