why is this so difficult for people to understand? we're not upset about him admitting that he's prejudice, that's no surprise to many of us here. it's the fact that all a Black person has to do to arouse suspicion in Mark is have a hoody on, a white person on the other hand has to have the appearance of a neo-nazi, leaving no doubt that they're trouble. a white person in a hoody wouldn't arouse suspicion in Mark but a Black person in that same hoody will.

Interesting, when I watched the interview I thought he was saying that's what it would take to arouse suspicion if he were on the other side of the street, meaning if he were the black guy in a hoodie, a bald white guy with face tattoos would make him cross the street. Doesn't matter, even if that's what he meant it's a terrible comparison, because the first example was almost entirely based on race, the second example adds in class, physical characteristics, etc.

calling for his head or for players to boycott. Its annoys me that people were more outraged by what he said then by what he actually did. If the NBA had come down on him for the discrimination lawsuit I would have been overjoyed and in light of his history I'm not against forcing him out now, but lets be clear, this "outrage" from the NBA and the public is flawed.

fair enough
. You know, the stereotype that we all got pissed off on. He is using the same dumb stereotype in his example.
