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

Seems at times its more popular to rail against an unpopular opinion then actual harmful actions.Its what Bomani Jones was talking about in his rant.Sterling denied housing to people based on their skin color for years with little to no public blowback. He talks greasy about Magic/blacks to his side piece and the country calls for his head.

Many people didn't know about the housing discrimination suit against Sterling. Had that been brought to the forefront in the media like the audio tapes. The public at large would have been just as outraged

I don't think that's the point he's trying to make. I actually think that history is why he's going to end up voting to oust Sterling.

why would he vote to oust sterling in your opinion? he said that we're all prejudiced to some degree, why would he vote out Sterling?

Why do they want all this "free speech" in the NBA so bad?

I don't get it.

Its a FAMILY organization that caters to mega-athletes. They should be held to the highest internal social standard out there.

break it down for us brother, since Mark only said "black male in a hoody" how did you reach the conclusion that he's only speaking about a certain type of black male in a hoody?

Because I'm not prone to extreme leaps in logic, why would you assume he meant every black male in the Dallas metro area? Because of some #inherently bullshyt you've seen posted on this site?, because Mark Cuban is white? care to share these clues you gathered.

Because its good for business and if he don't I don't think he wants those problems. He said the comments aren't related for what its worth.

Being a white male in this country is basically being a scared coward. They obsess over everyone: blacks, mexicans, Arabs. They hate everyone. They know they have shytted on every type of people on the world to get where they are at. Its basically a thought process of: these people are going to get me and probably have a right to bust my head open to the white meat.

Little do they know, other people dont always reciprocate their paranoia or obsession. We are always on their minds. White talk radio is filled of paranoid white males who think the world is out to get them.

Are you making a generalization about an entire subgroup of people whom you have categorized explicitly by race, and attributing certain negative characteristics to all members of said group? Isn't that a bit racist m8?

I need to reproach myself for only reading the headlines on Cuban.

Here's the video: Mark Cuban talks about bigotry, won't reveal how he'll vote on Donald Sterling | FOX Sports on MSN

Cuban makes a good point, but, not about Sterling.

First, I'm tired of this "We're all racist/bigoted." No, we're not and if we all were, crossing the street is because I'm rockin' a hoodie, is totally different from housing discrimination against scores of ppl and ruining their lives.

He's right, racism will only be dealt with head on and we don't need to pretend they don't exist.

But, here's the problem; why is it that we only talk about racism when something horrible happens? That's the first thing; let's promote the idea that black people are more than the racist stuff we have to deal with.

Right after Sterling is forced to sell and disappears, we'll be back to pretending that America is "post-racial."

tbh most people just take issues on week by week. a couple months ago everyone was glued to their seats about the missing Malaysian plane now nobody gives a fukk.

this is why black people should at the very least continue to be aware that people like sterling exist and educate themselves and their children on the dangers off people like this.

i said i'll never forget how some white people (and non-black people in general) showed their ass after the zimmerman verdict and will continue to remind myself of it.

No its prejudiced.

once again, which Black males in hoodies is he referring to? he didn't make any distinction, he made it very clear which whites would arouse suspicion though.

 

[polokuo]

Cuban is trying to compare Sterling's record (court record, not recording) of racial discrimination to basic pre-judging? Cause if so, there's a huge difference between to the two. Cuban is completely out of line.

I think he's talking specifically about the recording. That's the only way his interview makes sense because he talks specifically about how he has to prevent his internal prejudices from affecting how he conducts business and treats people in business (external action). If he were defending Sterling's actual court record, then that crosses the line from internal prejudice to external action, and you're right that would be completely out of line.

I just seen this fakkit ass racist troll Cuban's comments on Twitter

[J-Fire]

He was using a stereotype that is fresh off everyone's mind as an example

How can you not comprehend the point he was making? shyt isn't Shakespeare

he's afraid of that stereotype...he said the "he" would cross the street. cuban is concerned about a black kid in the hoodie mugging him.
