Mark Cuban talks about prejudice

That statement isn't as far off as you think it is.

I have had blacks tell me that directly as well but as a blanket statement?

And......here we go.

Here come the lazy victim-card addicts running for another dose of "my life is a disaster because of rich white men."

Cuban is 1000 percent right, but he's getting skewered. These days, we turn the Trayvons and Rodney Kings into little angels for the purpose of hanging white men from the closest tree.

Now, Cuban's our new Racist for the Day. I'm sure Donald Sterling is grateful for him taking the baton.

White people just need to learn to live with double standards and shut the hell up.

Cuban didn't say anything bold - he merely spoke his mind and he has no one to fear for speaking his mind..

The progressive Nazi's cant force him out of a job because he's the one that employs them...

I've always liked Mark Cuban, he's an honest self-made Billionaire.

Of course if you don't adhere to the Nazi progressive handbook they will run at you with their broomsticks, pitchforks and Marxist fire and brimstone -- It "ain't" gonna work this time Nazi progressives.

That's like saying all black people have the common bias that all white people are racist (even if they dont know it).

you are wrong but keep believing that if it makes you feel good.

Well so much fail here. One can't be progressive and a Nazi there Godwin, but again who is suggesting that he should be out of a job?

Yup you did since he said something you agreed with.

Except virtually everyone is discussing Cube's statement in context and only questioning why he feels that way, helping him deal with his bias he identified.

Can you post any calls to have anything happen to him/

Really?

The progressive Nazi's are trying to force an NBA team owner (Sterling) to sell his team and so far he has been banned from the NBA..

Just like progressives love to ban people from using free speech to express their mind - of course you love free speech when a progressive is spewing their anti-first amendment ideas but when someone you disagree with DARES to say something you disagree with you go into full censorship mode and censure that individual..

What are you going to do next burn books?

There is plenty of precedent where I'm going with this...

Don't make it sound like progressives actually give a **** about others rights.... You progressives have been riding that myth for too long now.

Your screed is interesting in that it is all about emotion and not about facts. Bring facts or you sound no better than the man at the bus stop shouting at invisible terrorists. Of an Idaho Gov. debate for GOP nomination.

I suggest you read the book "Outliers" written by Malcolm Gladwell. Among other topics, Mr. Gladwell goes into great detail on why, for instance, cultures like in South Korea have the worst records in flight. Why, for instance, cultures of the Pacific Rim are better in math. Why, for instance, cultures like those in West Virginia and Tennessee have had long, bloody feuds...

I assume you're actually more interested in punishing the white, conservative culture than raising up the African-American culture.

Except he was describing a Treyvon Martin type individual which why he later apologized to his parents. He was describing a look with the clothing. He certainly wasn't saying a black man in a button-up shirt and slacks would make him cross the street.
 
There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can't walk down our own streets, how humiliating.
Remarks at a meeting of Operation PUSH in Chicago (27 November 1993). Quoted in "Crime: New Frontier - Jesse Jackson Calls It Top Civil-Rights Issue" by Mary A. Johnson, 29 November 1993, Chicago Sun-Times (ellipsis in original). Partially quoted in US News & World Report (10 March 1996)

If Jessie Jackson isn't racist for saying what I believe was a truthful comment on his part, why would Cuban be?

Bomani Jones on is back and forth with Mark Cuban | Dan Patrick ShowDan Patrick Show


Jones is pointing out that Cuban suffers from a common bias, that black people are scary just being. The white people he mentioned had to be decorated with tats and have shaved heads.

Clearly we need to ban all hoodie from existence its the hoodie that turns them into murdering and raping criminals.

See a black man like trayvon can say all kinds of racial slurs and nothing is said. But a white man says sure just cross the street and its look at that racist ass cracka.

I don't need to read a book to know that you're a racist. Also, Gladwell would be disappointed that you're using him to perpetuate racism.
 
I agree 100% with Cuban and so do as do all the anti-Cubans posting here as they too would change sides of the street. If three or four houses on your all white residential block were sold to blacks every single person would think the values of the homes could plunder. If you live in a middle class neighborhood and suddenly learn there is a low income apartment complex project going to be built near by you your thoughts would be think your property values could plunder. The great American lie perpetuated against all Americans is there is no difference between the races and that is an insult to all races. Americans should try to live together but not as one but as several separate entities that simply respect one another and stand for each one's right to a decent life. Which would you prefer, one who outwardly declares racial superiority or one who declare racial equality as long was they did not have to live in the same neighborhood?

Just keep those reparations coming, huh? If you're white, what are you? If you're non-white..

Instead of insulting me, why don't you obtain some knowledge by reading Gladwell's book? You want the African-American culture to succeed, don't you?

I actually don't, but I'm getting sick of the knee-jerk defense of everybody who makes comments that are even vaguely racist. Unless, of course, that person is black.

You could make an argument based on threads and posts on here that it works both ways. JMO.
