Mark Cuban apologizes to Trayvon Martin’s family...
Raw Story: Katherine Peterson...Below comment
It’s been stated that it is almost impossible to be a White Person in this country and not be bigoted.
This is because local MSM reports on practically every local crime to the 10th degree .. In turn this has driven fear in this country to incredible heights.. Gun Manufactures have made tremendous profits off this issue as well who in turn support politicians who stoke these unrealistic fears..
Mark Cuban is only being honest to what the majority of White People feel about stereotyping certain
aspects of black culture.. But do I feel he delivered his message in well thought out manner?
No!!!.......
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban apologized to Trayvon Martin's family on Thursday for a comment he made about a "black kid in a hoodie" in remarks about prejudice.
Cuban was interviewed Wednesday at a conference in Nashville, Tenn. and explained that like embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, he too can have bigoted thoughts.
"I know I'm prejudiced and I know I'm bigoted in a lot of different ways. If I see a black kid in a hoodie on my side of the street, I'll move to the other side of the street," he said. "If I see a white guy with a shaved head and tattoos, I'll move back to the other side of the street. None of us have pure thoughts; we all live in glass houses."
The billionaire entrepreneur tweeted Thursday that he "should have used different examples" and offered his apology to the Martin family for the hoodie comment. Beyond that apology, Cuban tweeted that he stood by his remarks.
Martin was the black Florida teenager who was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in 2012. The hoodie Martin wore the night he was killed later became a symbol for those who demanded Zimmerman be brought to justice.
