he's right.
And yeah, he's not necessarily defending Sterling, but he is pointing out the apparent hypocrisy t would take for the others to go hard at Sterling, because once they do that, any little thing any of them do can be perceived as just as bad as what he did. They're all in glass houses, and he knows that Sterling won't rest in exposing them if they do that to him.
And yeah, who doesn't look crazy at a young black kid in a hoodie, or some skinhead looking white boy? There are lots of signs in peoples appearance that would make any smart person pause.
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"
we can do it even bigger. write a script and do a visual piece entitled Fear Of A Black Hoodie
he's right.

the thing is, we don't even need to be doing anything other than be bigger than them and we're scary.
that's it.

Just think of how many Black men died for not reason other than being Black

Dude I'm fucked then. I ALWAYS wear a hoodie.
My job, we sell wine/champagne.... My warehouse is 58° year round. I'm trying to stay warm so even in Houston's hottest days I'm still rocking my hoodie n beanie hat. I'm so used to wearing them that I'll get in my car n go grab lunch or walk up to the deli with that shit still on. people look at me like I have a tail when I walk up wearing that...... I'm waiting on somebody to say something so I can light into they ass. I already tore into some CAC at the drug store asking me about my sagging jeans...I wish a mufucca would question my hoodie

Talib Kweli's tweets earlier he was saying he respects Mark Cuban for being honest
Not sure how i feel about respecting the cac for saying something we already knew.
Heres my biggest issue with this... If I understand correctly, this was in response to the interviewer asking him about Donald Sterling. Why would he feel the need to provide so much justification and explanation in attempting to drew parallels to bigotry across the board?
Why does he find it so necessary to defend hatred on any level and admit bias when the question was specifically about the NBA and the Sterling situation?
Why does he feel the need to provide so many qualifiers for racism?
This is extremely telling. And this is the second time I have heard him attempt to advocate for Sterling in a veiled manner.
Horrible timing. This is how things get misconstrued. Damnit Mark, can you please hire a fucking PR team? Dudes become billionaires, forget not all of their decisions got them there
We should all wear pea coats.
and fuck up the industry.
when i see young black kids or a young black kid in a hoodie it means he has a hoodie on, that's what i see. and i see it all the time.
Presentation matters huh?
Can someone please ask the deballed spineless Screaming A. Smith how this man who always presented himself well admitted to dealing with the same shit as Trayvon?
Well that didn't take long..
Mark Cuban Apologizes to Trayvon Martin Family
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban apologized Thursday to Trayvon Martin's family over his choice of words in a videotaped interview in which he addressed bigotry and prejudice.
Cuban even revealed some of his own prejudices in the interview with Inc. magazine, and said he believes everyone has "prejudices and bigotries" on some level. But after his words — which came with the NBA still dealing with the fallout over racist remarks made by now-banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling — created a stir in social media and other circles, Cuban took to Twitter to offer his apology.
"In hindsight I should have used different examples," Cuban wrote. "I didn't consider the Trayvon Martin family, and I apologize to them for that."
Cuban also said he stands by the substance of the interview.
Martin was the black Florida teen who was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in February 2012. Martin was wearing a hooded sweatshirt — commonly called a "hoodie" — that night, and that particular piece of clothing became a rallying cry for those who demanded justice.
Zimmerman was eventually acquitted.
"We're all prejudiced in one way or the other," Cuban said in the Inc. interview. "If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, I'm walking to the other side of the street. And if on that side of the street, there's a guy that has tattoos all over his face — white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere — I'm walking back to the other side of the street. And the list goes on of stereotypes that we all live up to and are fearful of."
When shown that excerpt of the interview Thursday, Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat cringed.
"It's just a sensitive time," Bosh said.
Cuban has not revealed how he will vote on June 3, when NBA owners are scheduled to cast ballots on a motion to oust Sterling and force him to sell the Clippers. Cuban has called the comments made by Sterling "abhorrent," adding that there is "no place for racism in the NBA, any business I'm associated with."
Cuban has, however, cautioned that the Sterling matter is a "very slippery slope."
"While we all have our prejudices and bigotries, we have to learn that it's an issue that we have to control," Cuban told Inc. "It's part of my responsibility as an entrepreneur to try to solve it, not just to kick the problem down the road because it does my company no good, does my customers no good, does society no good if my response to somebody and their racism or bigotry is to say 'It's not right for you to be here, go take your attitude somewhere else.'"
Cuban also told Inc. that he knows he is not perfect, and that "it's not appropriate for me to throw stones." The magazine has a 2½-minute clip of Cuban speaking about the topics on its web site, along with about an hourlong appearance — with the Mavs owner discussing many matters — at its Growco Conference in Nashville on Wednesday.
"We're a lot less tolerant of different views and it's not necessarily easy for everybody to adopt or adapt or evolve," Cuban said.

people keep saying they want an HONEST discussion and discourse on race and such but the second someone says some HONEST shit head wanna shut down
Every single time I've tried to listed over the years he comes off like cranky old man who doesn't like to allow other to speak. He has all the answers before they ask the question.
There's a conservative talk show host in Houston named Joe Pags that used to do the same thing. Over talk people and cut them off in mid sentence. Even if they aren't making sense I want to hear their opinion in order to make up my own mind - instead it's him cutting off people and trying to make them feel stupid when they are just giving their opinion.
Al Sharpton at least lets them speak, then he breaks them down. With that idiot it's...CUT OFF TIME....Fuck his show. I stop listening.
he ain't forget
that's why he said what he said. he got a lot of private calls thanking him for being brave enough to say what they felt.
