    Bomani Jones had a great little debate with him on twitter this morning ..... essentially what he said was that using this whole "everybody has flaws" ? is a copout .... ? dont put your flaws on me ... own your ? by urslef



    Of course it's a copout. And of course he's defending Sterling. But that doesn't change that his statement is accurate. W

    there is no accuracy to the statement ... there is no way for you to legitimize that comment ....so ...lets stop

    Just like the is no way to legitimize the opposite opinion. Doesn't mean it's not accurate.


    so basically you have no legitimacy to your claim and you're just talking to talk at this point

    People period use hoodies for crime but people also rob and steal with a hat,cap,shades,wig and just their bare head.A hoodie means nothing.

    No this is wrong.Everybody has stereotyped which is different.I can only speak for myself when I say that I am ans never been prejudice and only those in power can be a bigot.

    You know the definition of prejudice, my G?

    Prejudice is hatred and dislike.Thats my definition.No one.goes by the dictionary definition for anything.

    its a self preservation issue if you're dumb enough to believe that displaying cowardice will deter a predator...

    So if I'm walking down the street and I see a group of people walking my way in Chicago ( I know y'all love that city) with Latin king color's on I should just walk through them? I can't cross the street?

    what do u think crossing the street will accomplish? use your head for more than a hatrack.

    Give me space so if they on some other ? I can get outta there...

    Also shows that you don't want problems. ..

    Negative. Never said anything along those lines. Or even implied it. Everybody should be held accountable for their bigotry and/prejudice: Cuban, Sterling, me, everyone.

    Man, though I've posted a couple times already, I've held back from really breaking down because the IC is becoming more intolerant of different opinions, not to mention common sense.

    First off, just because someone engages in racial profiling doesn't mean that he or she is a racist. If that were true, then a lot of black women are racist too. It could just mean that they perceive a higher risk to themselves in the situation and think that it would be prudent to take anticipatory action. (And just because racial profiling in a particular case isn't racist, doesn't mean that it is not wrong.)

    Second, do you -- I mean you yourself -- think it would be justified, in certain situations, to be a little more cautious when around strange young black men dressed a certain way, as opposed to young white men? (Let me say that, no, that doesn't mean following them around, before some idiot says that I'm justifying what GZ did.) Forget, for a moment, about whether it would be rational to do that; all I am asking if whether it would be justified to be a little more cautious. If your answer is yes, that's because you recognize that young black men and young white men, at least in many places, aren't equally likely to rob you. That narrows the distance between you and Cuban, and you should be little more understanding of where he is coming from.

    What dude said is nowhere near the ballpark of what Sterling said, though I disagree with him and think they should force Sterling to sell.

    because ive seen ? in hoodies ........................................................................... not committing crime...?

    Word. Couldn't even bring myself to type up this amazingly simple reply. This ? has seen THOUSANDS of ? wearing hoodies and not commuting crime. But took the few examples off hoodied criminals to condemn hoodies. Smh.
