If he saw a blk man in a hoody late at night he would walk the other way

How about posting the full quote, rather than cherry picking one part of it to frame a bogus narrative.

“If I see a black kid in a hoodie, and it’s late at night, I’m walking to the other side of the street. If on that side of the street there’s a guy that has tattoos all over his face — white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere — I’m walking back to the other side of the street.”

Edit: and this part of it (he said it right before the above quote).

“We’re all prejudiced in one way or another.”

Why black players would even go to Dallas after that racist **** Mark Cuban said is mind boggling to me

go back to LA, DJ.

Also how great would it be to have a Bill Simmons podcast right about now [emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji]

Clippers stalling, trying to keep DeAndre away from meeting with Cuban

5:07 PM - 8 Jul 2015

The question was what did he say that was racist towards Blk people...Take a few seats 

 

[nick.]

how did this turn into a race thread?

 

[keko jones]

Parson bounce to Vegas and didn't take DJ.

DJ felt that Parson was just pretending he liked him.

DJ is upset and is asking Doc if CP3 could at least dap him.

Doc called everyone for group therapy.

Parson trying to take the next flight to Texas before he leave.

DJ is saying, who ever come first I'm with ....

Fragile ******* ...

 

[og lil nut]

Cuban's a noodle. Looking forward to his meltdown after DJ re-signs in LA.

The question was what did he say that was racist towards Blk people...Take a few seats 

But there's context that you completely ignored.

 

[comptonprince]

Man this might affect the Lakers F U DJ!!!

It wasn't really racist though when you view it as a whole. He basically said if he sees a shady looking person late at night regardless of color he's crossing the street.

It didn't matter cause it wasn't directed toward a Black man

that wasn't at all but if I recall correctly dude was defending Donald. That should say something. Theses dudes can't say what they really feel.

Of course they do. Cuban wasn't the only guy who went to bat for Sterling. The rest just didn't do it publicly.

 

[mister friendly]

Yeah that's not a good quote from Cuban

 

[011781]

turned in to a race thread because #NTreaching be getting out of hand

 

[mr marcus]

I mean it took a white guy having tats on his face compared to a black guy just wearing a hoodie


But let's not derail...at least Cuban was honest

Lol @ if I recall...

True. He did compare a black kid in a hoodie to a neo nazi......I take it back, statement is racist.

But yeah that's the one thing I'll always like about Cuban. Says whatever the hell is on his mind and doesn't really care what you think about it.

 

[011781]

Of course they do. Cuban wasn't the only guy who went to bat for Sterling. The rest just didn't do it publicly.

so..here you are sizing up MOST owners without knowing a thing about then other than the fact theyre white

makes you no better than the ppl you're calling prejudice for no reason

I was gonna say that. The full quote makes it even worse.

When are guys actually allowed to sign contracts?
