What he said doesnt have to be classified as out and out racist it was ignorant as ? wrapped in racial anxiety... and because it is a norm for others to feel like this in regards to us.. ? accept it..
Oh Michael Eric Dyson will be on at 11 on first take... he will leave no stone unturned...

I run into this problem often in my field...
a cop will straight up say that he thinks blacks are criminals and need to be harassed, and mafuckas will straight ignore it and say "nah he aint racist tho"... -
feelings everywhere.

Cari Champion actually specifically asked him about that comparison after he went on his initial rant. -

not really. you mean to tell me you have never seen a group of black guye and new they were trouble.
also if black people agree its prolly cause we racist to. how many time you seen a white guy in a suit and assumed he wasnt a criminal. its the same thing.
It's not about seeing a group of people and whether or not he think's it's trouble. He just proved that in his mind he agrees with the stereotypical image of black male+hoodie= potential robbery. A hoodie means it's cold/chilly not a potential robbery is about to happen 98% of the time. Anyone whose face you can't see at night would cause someone to be more aware whether they're black, white, green or purple. There's no need to inject race into that and he did it needlessly.
black folks are ? dumb. So nevermind the fact that he said if he saw a white guy with tats on his face, his crossing back to the street with the black dude and the hoodie huh?
Now a hoodie means its cold and chilly, nevermind the fact that we know a hoodie, baggie jeans and tims perfect the grimy look that we all seen in the hood and in rap videos.
Now every ? in here trusting every ? in the world
You ? are not being wise nor real about this whole thing. Which is unfortunate, because black folks don't know which fights to pick. This ? is minimal as ? .
Like you ? trusting a ? in 2 am in a damn hoodie. Or a white dude with tats on his face. FOH
Nobody said trusting everyone in the world. For one, everybody wearing a hoodie ain't walking around in baggy jeans and timbs too. Not everyone wearing a hoodie is wearing it in a suspicious way. There's a bunch of different types of hoodies. Which ones are the ones causing him to be fearful? He took a situation and tried to make a generalization when it's a situation that needs specific factors in order to be considered dangerous he left out. Simply seeing someone in a hoodie shouldn't be enough to invoke fear. If he had simply said "anyone suspicious I'm looking to cross the street" that's one thing. To specifically say "a black kid in a hoodie" qualifies a good portion of black males because hoodies are pretty common in every day life. Yes to the avg, everyday person a hoodie just means it's cold because the vast majority of us ain't out here robbing people. Hell forget Mark Cuban, who in general is normally out here walking around at 2 am like that's some normal ? to begin with? He took an abnormal situation and tried to apply normal logic to it. That doesn't work -
Yup just seen that she didnt really challenge him on that..enough to the point where he had to account for his reasoning
and he diverted the convo to "professionalism"

Why are you fools removing the context in which Cuban made his comments. Let's not forget his assertions were spoken as it pertains to the Sterling situation. To which I respond what the ? does a black man at 2am have to do with the ignorant comments Sterling made?
I'm failing to see the connection between "I don't want you hanging with black people," and "I'm crossing the street at 2am in the morning." Those are NOT the same types of prejudice. You talking to me about crossing the street at 2am but what about the 23hrs in the day where you're prejudiced towards me.
Further, I don't believe Cuban should get in trouble for his statements b/c quite frankly they weren't that serious. Just his own uninformed ignorance. The issue I have and I'm sure others have is that many ppl are trying to say what MC said was "okay."
? no it's not okay. That type of irrational thinking is what lends itself to young black men like myself and many of you becoming targeted & profiled. Don't allow them to pull the veil over your eyes and tell you it's because of a damn hoodie. You make them uncomfortable no matter what you have on. -
who gives a ? ? -

Smh
So a white guy wearing a hoodie with no ? tattoes out walking late at night is nothing to fear, but a random blk person wearing a hoodie out late at night is more than likely a person up to no good?
U realize that is what cuban is essentially saying right? Lol

White people version of racism is synonymous with someone calling someone a ?
For the most part....
? you cant even say the word jew...
That last sentence sharp said was poignant
Context -
again..
he's trying to justify his prejudice by saying
"so you telling me if you see a black person with a hoodie on at 2am you not gonna be scared?"
it's an absurd statement to validate an offensive point of view....
i'm not even offended forreal, cuz the ? 's ridiculous... but i 100% believe that he should be called out on it, i see no reason why he should get a pass..if he lost his team i would find it hilarious... -
