[QUOTE=John Smith]You forgot uneducated. And it does not mean they are a thug it means their probability of being one increases based off of the stats that anyone can find on google.[/quote]
ok so black, uneducated and has tattoos = thug? just want to be sure.
if it increases their chances, then what DOES make them a thug? what makes one black, uneducated tattooed player a thug while another black, uneducated tattooed player not a thug?

Wow, can people read? The probablity increases if one is all of those things. Heck, sadly the probablity increases based upon race alone!

how is Kenyon Martin a thug when he is educated?
[QUOTE=Sammobile]how is Kenyon Martin a thug when he is educated?[/QUOTE]
Do you really believe schools don't give special treatment to elite athletes like Kenyon Martin?
Dude, I'm white. Really white. I have Asian friends, Hispanic friends, Iranian, Israeli.... but no black friends. There're like no black people in San Diego or Littleton where I grew up.
I can't stand 50 Cent. That whole culture. The 'Thug' culture.
I see it as something that keeps black people down.
I am in no way racist, but I am prejudice I suppose in that I probably group people into that 'thug culture' that I have no right doing.
But seriously, I hate 50 Cent.
And K-Mart is a badass. And Cuban should get his face beat in.
That's all.
[QUOTE=John Smith]The difference? Your holier than thou attitude won't get you laid by the same kinds of broads that I am nailing. Plus, I have real world experience growing up on the south side of chicago. I'd like to drop you off in the wild 100's and see how far your ability to read a book will get you. There are two kinds of smarts in this world, book smarts and street smarts. You lack the latter. You represent an ignorant youth who is both naive and impressionable. You probably still live with your parents and think you have it all figured out....[/QUOTE]
Why are you bringing up females that you are "nailing", and what a stupid word I might add, what does that have to do with anything we are talking about. What holier than thou attitude do I have? I am just trying to debate/argue with you in a more grown manner, not the way other ISH posters argue with the trolls here.
And speaking of street smarts and book smarts, how in the world do you know what I do and don't have? I'm not gonna question what you do or don't have based on 1 thread on an internet forum. Why would you claim I lack street smarts, when you know nothing of what I do, we are on the Web, so I guess we are talking about "Web smarts". Until you see and speak with me in the "streets" that is when you see "street smarts". I am trying to blend my "street and book smarts" together to talk with you and the other posters.
And why are you claiming I am an ignorant youth who lives with my mother? You know nothing about my education, intelligence, personal life, street or book smarts. This post shows your true ignorance when you resort to name calling on no basis, what in my previous posts leads you to believe that I am still at home with my parents and have this holier than thou attitude and am an impressionable youth? Where do you get those opinions? Because I sound more intelligent than you, so you go to weak personal attacks.
I called you ignorant after reading your first few posts, but I realized after a reading a few more that you started to change the way you were talking/discussing which gave me a different impression of you, a more favorable one I would add.
After this post I'm up in the air I guess. Some of the stuff you have been posing is the truth and reality but again there are other ways to go about discussing what you think the truth is.
[QUOTE=John Smith]I don't need to read your books written by some sissy frenchman. I am too busy reading my own, thank you ver much. And they include books such as the Tibetan Book of the Dead and other books regarding eastern philosophy.[/QUOTE]
Well great, I just wanted to recommend a book which could help you with the way you look at society. Maybe you would see it from another view as oppossed to the narrow view that you have of society now.
It's not 50 cent's fault that the non-black CEO's in the music and entertainment industry choose to make him into a star. The real question is why do they choose to do so? They control the air waves and mtv so whatever they put out will be listened to and sold. But why do they choose to support 50 cent and soulja boy? Even Nas realizes what kind of "artists" these people are.
Cavs, I made those conclusions about you based on your post. You clearly were talking down to me. Even if it is deservedly so, you see why I made those conclusions about you. No need to get upset about it. that is not the ISH way.
[QUOTE=John Smith]Do you really believe schools don't give special treatment to elite athletes like Kenyon Martin?[/QUOTE]
:( my goodness you so prejudice you'd turn anything around, you don't know Martin or what happened in while he was in school(grades)
your so worried about other people you don't even see the problems in your own community
[QUOTE=Cavs2007Champs]You can't go around calling people racist if you don't truly know em Fiyah.
He may show a lot of prejudices but until he goes around calling out names, and truly discriminating against other races through his actions, then you can call him a racist, until then use prejudice as the word, since he obviously has a few of his own.
I'll just say that John Smith uses to much of the media to draw his conclusions about the Black race, and not enough of positive examples.
Mo'Fiyah, it's not his fault that only the "negative" Black celebrities or public figures are made to be the posterboard figures of the Black community.
American's love to debate the negatives, but rarely do we argue about the positive role models.
We will start a debate over who is a bigger thug, but not who is the bigger saint, see where I am going.
Message... as Damon Wayans would say in Don't be a Menace... Think about it.[/QUOTE]
At first I made sure to call him prejudiced instead of racist... but the more we discussed the situation the more I thought maybe he is a racist. Sure I don't know him but he has made some extremely racist comments on here. It may be that we have different definitions of a racist... to me once you begin to consciously use skin color as a large factor into pre-judging someone then you become a racist. I certainly think, based on his comments, that John Smith is a being racist in doing so. Racists aren't just white supremacists after all...
Cuban released his [URL="http://www.nba.com/2009/playoffs2009/05/12/cuban.apology.ap/index.html?cid=playoff1"]apology [/URL]today on his personal blog. Never heard of a situation like this before.

"OJ Mayo USC"
It's just the facts...sadly.

Did it ever occur to you that I am at work and engage in controversial conversation to help my day go by faster? It's working! :applause:

what does that have to do with K-Mart? they have nothing in common
[QUOTE=Sammobile]what does that have to do with K-Mart? they have nothing in common[/QUOTE]
They kind of do though. If you are a star, universities will do whatever it takes to keep you happy. Even give you A's if you don't deserve it. That's just the tip of the iceberg. He's just one that got caught. Imagine all of the others that are not getting caught...
