Screw the media for this Mark Cuban "racism" BS

[D-Rose]

Here is the video:
http://www.inc.com/maria-aspan/mark-cuban-discusses-bigotry-post-donald-sterling-fiasco.html?cid=sf01001

What's the big deal people? Probably because most idiots on twitter and ESPN have only seen the 30 second snippet or HEARD about it, instead of actually watching the context of the entire video.

Modern society people are retarded. They try to teach us to be tolerant and not to use racial stereotypes, but the the problem is that stereotypes are natural for you brain and how it processes information. You cant go against your nature for the stake of a fake virtue. I think all people are equal and i dont discriminate against other people (except for gypsies) but everyone associates certain behavior with "skin color" and theres nothing wrong with it as long as you are not openly racist and your behavior doesnt promote adverse consequences.

[Jailblazers7]

It's shitty that his words are being taken out of context because the NBA could use a little more honest discussion about the topic.

[Sarcastic]

He's gonna be the one owner that votes to let Sterling stay.

[DuMa]

Its gonna be a slow sports news day. no Bball and all of the sudden Bomani Jones who overtalks 50 words per rant gets some air time. :facepalm

It is.

For 6 billion years the life on this planet worked just fine on the principle of things killing each other, only to spawn a bunch of whiners who can't handle being "offended":lol

Wrong again, i don't like homosexuals

[jstern]

I think there's a big difference in using common sense and saying that if you saw a black teen in a hoodie late at night you would cross the street, than saying you don't want black people coming to the games of the NBA team you own.

I mean really. Most people are so black and white in their way thinking. It's either one thing, or nothing.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Wrong again, i don't like homosexuals

But you like rapists?

[MostHated305]

Why start a thread about this fake controversy.

You are creating the controversy in your own head OP.

[fiddy]

But you like rapists?
I respect "rapists", at the end of the day they are going to get theirs no matter what. They dont have to collude.

mj and kobe raping your mind, enough spam junior

Kobe fans like rapists. There you have it folks :applause:

True, but there's also a big difference between saying you don't want black people at your games, and saying that you don't want black people at the games with your girlfriend.

Then again there's also a big difference between saying you don't want black people at your gamesm, and actually not allowing black people to go to your games.

[Soundwave]

There's a big difference between crossing the street to avoid a threatening looking person (white or black as Cuban states) versus saying you don't want your girlfriend associating with any black people or taking any photos with them or bringing them to your work place.

That's a pretty big leap.

You're just a racist in the second case, lol, I don't see why it's such a huge thing to admit. You want to have those beliefs but you don't want to have the label that comes with it (ironically though you have no problem negatively labelling others, you just don't like it when your own negativity comes back to label you).

It's funny because saying someone looks like a threat because of wearing a hoodie or having tatoos is in fact prejudice. Everyone is prejudice though, which is also Cubans point.

I assume your post was directed at me, so please don't call me a racists. I've met black people with regular jobsl, black people that where criminals, middle eastern people with regular jobs and middle eastern people who are criminals. I don't look down on any of them for their skin colour or culture.

Post was not directed at anyone, I was just speaking in general terms.

mark cuban is my role model

[Ratnik]

I think that the white race is superior, but I dont hate or discriminate other races. Does that make me a racist?

[kennethgriffin]

its stupid to assume nearly everyone isnt a little racist

we mostly are.

its actually embedded in our unconsciousness and we inherit it through our genetics

its how we have different kinds of people/ethnicities in the first place

thousands of years ago there were tribes of people. and they only had sex with people that shared their tribes facial/skin characteristics

neanderthal people used to have different types of humans. the humans alive today come from the side that murdered and made all others extinct that werent as evolved as us.

in schools back in the 60s they tested kids to see their inherited racism. and their ability to be brain washed and easly turned against each other with a senior role model

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeK759FF84s


kids are like sponges. they absorb information such as religion and racism. they take it with them the rest of their life for the most part


nobody should be blamed for racism. its something we inherit genetically and from society/pier influence

[Soundwave]

There's a difference between prejudices and being a full-blown racist.

Donald Sterling very likely is a full blown racist.

We all have prejudices going into a situation, our brain is simply not "smart enough" to process everything at once so we do to a degree rely on stereotypes especially upon first impression.

But there's a difference between this and full blown racism.

I'm a white male, I don't have a problem with my girlfriend taking a photo with Magic Johnson because he's black.

If you have that problem, that odds are you're a racist, lol. I love that racists think its fine to label everyone else, but when their negativity comes back and they get labelled as something, suddenly they're all up in arms about it. Can dish it out, but don't like it so much when its them being labelled as something. I always find that funny.

To be honest though, we live in a very progressive, forward thinking world. Probably the most in human history. We are a connected, multicultural, global society today, moreso than any time in the past. Odds are you have more friends/acquaintces of other ethnic backgrounds than your parents did. Odds are even if you have prejudices/some racist beliefs, you are still more progressive about them than your parents/grandparents were.

It gets better every generation, and the truth is everyday an old died in the wool racist dies from old age and they every day a young child is born who probably will be even more progressive in their thoughts than their parents today are. So I mean, I don't think people should get down about it, it's something that's literally improving all the time.

And when HE HAD THOSE AIDS I went to my synagogue and prayed he would be well. :lol

[bdreason]

People love crying "racist!".


I'll tell you what, if I'm walking down the street at night and two brothas in hoodies approach me, I'm not thinking they are asking for directions. Call me racist if you want, but it is what it is. A lot of it has to do with how African-Americans are portrayed in the media, but like Mark said, everyone has their prejudice, whether right or wrong. Recognizing your own prejudices is actually the first, and most important step, in breaking down stereotypes.

Meanwhile Isaiah Thomas is allowed to profess his disdain for white people.

lol @ you
In front of the law all people are equal and have equal right. And no, im an atheist hate religious retards. God can suck on my dick as well.

There's no "white race". It doesn't exist. It's a made up thing.

That's BEYOND not making any sense. Not wanting your half-black girlfriend taking pictures with black man.

My guess guess is his problem is more so that it imasculates him when his friends see his girlfriend with physically large professional athletes.

People opinions are in large part shaped by their environment. People want to be PC, but the fact is that cultures do clash. In Europe, anti minority sentiments are on the rise, not the decline. It's silly to think that anytime there is group conflict that it is just simply a matter of people being "ignorant" or "racist". It does no service and is intellectually lazy to oversimplify it that way.

Well, to an extent. Obviously, a repeat offender isn't truly "equal" to a first time offender.
