Man Steven A is riding hard for Cuban....Im Chris Carter side.
He thought he was throwing us a bone with the white guy example. To semi quote Samuel L. Jackson: "Now I let me ask you....what 3 groups would have a reason to fear a skinhead"
you have to be somewhat realistic too... a black kid in a hoodie... yeah that's fucked up and definitely a stab at trayvon on the low, but also the image that comes up to most americans when thinking about a black kid in a hoodie is these young thugs wildin out in the 'ghetto' all strapped and shooting up anything that moves. didnt we just have a vid of some of these young assholes flashing guns and teaching their kids gangsigns on this site two days ago? we have a generation of kids that were raised by the kids who were making urban areas a literal bloodbath 20 years ago, when they could easily get ak's and full magazines, etc.
And, a bald tatted up white guy, that gives you the image of biker gang. The image of the hells angels and the outlaws etc, running guns and drugs, bombing residences, having wars on the streets, killing and pimping like it is going out of style.
The real take away shouldn't us being surprised that a man has some prejudices. Of course he does. We all do, that's what' supposed to keep us safe. How many people have been seriously burned by making wildly unsafe decisions trying to prove stereotypes wrong.
The take away should be about the importance of your appearance in this society. Cuban is being truthful about prejudices that we all have, not trying to promote racism. Just because he's white we may not like to hear it, so the fuck what? If it's a brotha saying 'no, don't go to that popeyes, them lil niggas from 140s be over there wildin out' we take his advice and go to ihop on 133rd instead right?
It makes it harder on us, bc you can't do anything to hide being young and black, but at least teach your children the truth and give them a chance to negotiate life without making it worse.
I have absolutely no problem with what he said. He is who he is and they are who they are. The thing he said about not censoring a stupid person is the biggest takeaway from this. I want all of these motherfuckers talking and exposing their views.
I'm more upset that we as a people and our youths are still committing crimes against and killing each other, which is where the energy and outrage should be place.
Fuck him, Sterling and everyone like them, I don't need to break bread with or hang out with them, but our people need to get us together.
That kind of thinking is how shooting into a car full of Black teens who are unarmed and playing loud music will be given the benefit of the doubt.
Black folk can alleviate a lot of racial stress by just assuming that every white you meet harbors racism.
One of our biggest problems is that we're hoping and praying that whites will eventually love us.
Or give them too much props for employing common sense i.e.,"Zimmerman was wrong."
Be suspicious of all CACs even the so called 'cool' ones like Cuban.
The entire populace of black folk in Amerikkka should send Sterling a thank you card for giving you Cliff Notes of how white folk really think about our asses.
I understand...
...but it only takes one bullet from one man to put an end to me.
My head stay on a swivel.
The advantage is, people in our community who are about that life, tend to conform to certain standards of fashion. For instance, you're far less likely to be robbed by a dude dressed like Carlton Banks, than you are a dude with a big red T. Every 'goon' I know dress about the same.
what world you live in?
I have to disagree.. everytime I have been robbed for anything was never by those dress like that... they have always been in business attire with a office building
Yea, I read this and thought, dumb ass Cuban just ruined any chances of the Move being relevant again.
No respectful brotha will want to sign here again. I thought it was gonna happen after Cuban went after Kenyon Martin's mother in the stands but I think its definitely gonna happen now.
Cuban thinks he's being against the grain and thoughtful but he's not smarter than everyone, just rich.
Did this fool just insult trayvon martin on the low?
The problem with that statement is that you don't have many respectful brothas anyway.
Yea Cuban is on the list too...he can kiss my ass too.
LISTEN WITH A THIRD EAR
I really hate this idiots show
You're not seeing the issue deeply enough. When you equate an article of clothing that everyone wears to something as counterculture and deliberate and shaving your head and getting face tattoos then you see the huge double standard that is now happening. So as a Black man something as simple as wearing a hoodie is enough to put you on the same level as someone rocking face tats and shaved head.
This is about how easy it is to judge a Black man as dangerous vs judging a white person.
That kind of thinking is how shooting into a car full of Black teens who are unarmed and playing loud music will be given the benefit of the doubt.
^^^^
we are really gonna see who is and isnt in the coming weeks.
and I have a sinking felling that you will be proven correct.
I truly hope you are wrong.
Do you think that if is was a car full of unarmed white boys with face tats in the car playing loud anarchist rock, the gun would've came out? (Rhetorical)
he came out to the defense of sterling when it first happened. then back tracked when the decision was handed down. now he's back to his true colors.
cuban can't be trusted. he most likely looks at his players the same way sterling does.
Defending outward racism from a white man go figure. Still defending that Trayvon murder....does he cross the street when zuckerburg wears a hoodie.
Sterling and Cuban have the right to feel a way, but Black men/women certainly should have their right not to work for them or go to their games.
That hoodie comment is real personal, and twists the knife deep if you ask me.
Black "kid" = danger???
I do hope collectively Black people take a stand against this sideways kick in the nuts talk from white people lately
I don't know why this is so hard for people to get Bills.
He got them falling for the ole okey doke...
Cuban saying, I'm talking about THOSE bad Black people over THERE not about YOU guys...we cool. Ya'll the good ones.
He trying to use that old Chris Rock joke about niggas and Black people AGAINST us now.
Why?

To make it perfectly clear in here when it comes to the standards that Cuban and many white people use to judge. Mark Cuban said that both people shown below are equal levels of scary to him:
