Mark Cuban Now Under Fire For Controversialized Remarks About Race

A few weeks ago, Cuban expressed reluctance to join others in their Scalp Hunting mission against Donald Sterling.

His point was, Where does this end?

He was, of course, right to be worried. He made some comments which have now been controversialized per the new standard operating procedure.

I know I'm prejudiced, and I know I'm bigoted in a lot of different ways," Cuban said in an interview shown at the annual GrowCo convention hosted by Inc. magazine, according to The Tennessean.

"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. If I see a white guy with a shaved head and tattoos (on the side he now is on), I'll move back to the other side of the street. None of us have pure thoughts; we all live in glass houses."

...

When asked about voting on Sterling's ouster, which he will have to do June 3, Cuban said he knows how he will vote but isn't ready to comment on it. He then was asked about keeping bigotry out of the NBA.

"You don't; there's no law against stupid," Cuban said. "I'm the one guy who says don't force the stupid people to be quiet. I want to know who the morons are."

Obviously you can see how these extremist, bigoted comments must be controversialized at once.

Cue the Outrage Chorus:

Critics said his "hoodie" reference recalled the 2012 shooting of unarmed, black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt when he was fatally wounded in a struggle with a man who said he feared for his life.Cuban defended his views on Twitter, saying that his quotes were not meant to advocate racism.

Obviously.

I... I don't know what the hell to say.

"The point was that before we can help others deal w racism we have to be honest about ourselves," Cuban wrote in a tweet.

Well that's kind of bullshitty, but whatever.
