Mark Cuban:"I know how I'm going to vote, but I'm not ready to comment on it."

[Cool Dr. Money]

"I'm the one guy who says don't force the stupid people to be quiet – I want to know who the morons are".

Well Mark your the leader of the pack and this is coming from a mavericks fan. This i can be prejudice and a bigot at times but Hold on here so is everybody else is bullshyt

no one is outraged he spoke openly....it has nothing to do with him speaking openly...it has to do with what he openly said...people like to hide behind the 1st amendment when they say dumb shyt thinking it protects them from repercussions from the dumb shyt they just said...no, it doesn't work like that....it only gives you the right to say dumb shyt...but once that dumb shyt is spoken, it's fair game...and that's what we're discussing here... he really said a black kid in a hoodie gives him the same fear a neo Nazi looking white man does....think about that for a sec....a piece of clothing on a black kid instills the same fear as an extremist looking white man?...lol come the fukk on....

as for the where yall from comment: yea, people wear that outfit to do dirt...but people also wear it cause it's comfortable and keeps you warm when it's chilly/cold out....clothes don't make the person, they're just clothes...

on a side note: what's ironic about this - in the same interview he said he wants morons to say stupid shyt openly so he can know who they are....well, thanks mark, we now know you're a fukking moron...

but you know the type of cat he is talking about...why pretend like we all dont look at certain dudes sideways when we see them walk down the street?
Why did you go straight to Neo Nazi? He said nothing about Neo Nazi, he said White guy w/ shaved head and tattoos...most that fit that description arent neo nazis or racist (there is actually an anti racist skinhead/punk scene)...you just understood what he was getting at.
The same thing for the black kid in the hoodie example....you knew what he meant.

no breh, lets be reality here.... Put ANY young black dude in a hoody and jeans (they dont even have to be baggy) and people are gonna hit em with that "thug" label off top. Its bullshyt

no they wont...I have plenty of hoodies, and I dont catch flack.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Cuban needs to be dealt with accordingly, free agents don't sign there and black folks don't frequent his businesses

SAS needs to be dealt with accordingly, stop supporting him, stop flip flopping on your views of him, stop referencing him as a source of information that needs to be heard

That's a part of the problem with dudes like S.A.S and Skip or any other dude who people love to get enraged with.

You're only aiding them by bringing them up.

do you think Mark Cuban would cross the street if he saw you in a hoody?

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

Damn, 9th

He even took the, "Well, he said something about the white kid. Why didn't you say anything about that?" route.

 

[J-Fire]

do you think Mark Cuban would cross the street if he saw you in a hoody?

he said black in hoddie...young black. even carlton banks ain't safe!!!

 

[My neck and my back]

the can of worms that phone convo opened

cant to see how other owners feel about the bigotry sterling expressed towards black folks when the voting takes place

 

[Fresh]

If the NBA owners don't vote this guy out...the players must boycott. If not....my god, we are truly a pathetic race.

you mean the PLAYERS are "pathetic" if the NBA owners don't vote him out and they keep playin

but they will vote him out

 

[jilla82]

do you think Mark Cuban would cross the street if he saw you in a hoody?

no...because I dont look like a Chief Keef clone.

Yall just go straight to "omg he's racist he thinks every last black person in a hoodie is dangerous".
Come on now...he was just trying to make a point.

Threads like this make me wonder if yall actually have ever lived in the hood.
In Chicago, kids/teens (whatever you want to call them) would all wear the same thing (plain hoody or T shirt if its summer) so that you couldnt give a detailed description of them.
This was common knowledge!

You cats really think the Ralph Lauren photos are the type of cats Cuban was talking about?

 

[BruhMayne]

where did he say Neo Nazi?
He said "white guy w/ shaved head and tattoos"...There are a lot of white people that fit that description and arent Skinheads.

He just proved his point the way you all went directly to Skinheads w/ his description. Thats your own prejudice.

He said a white guy with tattoos all over HIS FACE

I've seen thousands of ppl in my lifetime wearing hoodies walking. Not once have I ever seen a shaved white guy with tattoos over HIS FACE walking up the street

Come on breh I know you're I know you're tryna make a point but these two are not even CLOSE to being comparable

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Prejudice -
preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

You're assuming I'm using Mark Cuban's words as a base for my rather thoroughly researched opinion. As stated in my original post, I don't care for Mark's words. Stop throwing around edgy words that have been thrown around for so long they lost their original meaning without knowing their true definition.

The only problem I made was saying all instead of what I usually say - most.

And even the term most is a bunch of bullshyt.

But see, it shows that you inherently have the same problem he does. you let isolated incidents represent your big picture thinking.

Come on breh I know you're I know you're tryna make a point but :cmon:

Wait, you've never seen white guys with tats on their faces? Where do you live?

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Just say you only see black males as one thing. I'm pretty sure the streets Cuban walks down in the middle of the night have very few minorities or he wouldn't be there without a bodyguard. I wonder is he afraid of one his black players in a hoodie

 

[DerrtySouthpaw]

no we dont know that the fukk mark cuban meant cause he didnt even say ski mask or skully he simply mentioned a fukking hoodie. if thats what constitutes being a threat nikkas are fukked. he shouldve been more clear or shut his ass the fukk up cause he look sus now.
