Police brutality and the denial of opportunity in the community that has an impact on lower income families which leads to crime.

So, Folks were in an uproar over Mark Cuban Statements in regards to Prejudices and Bigotries!

Why are people in an uproar over Mark Cuban's statements? ...And why are folks calling Stephen Smith an Uncle Tom? Why do black folks get in such an uproar when another black person does not agree that everything is Racism? We are clear and know for a fact that racism indeed does exist but somethings are what they are (Stephen Smith's comments) I think the part that got most people upset was Mark's reference to stating that he would cross the street if he saw a black kid in a "hoodie" late at night (keep in mind the wounds are still fresh from the Trayvon Martin case) so maybe that wasn't a good reference but remember he also said if it was a white guy with tattoos all over his face and bald he's walking back to the other side of the street.  Mark Cuban was stating his honest true feelings and people should respect the truthfulness of what he stated. He is stating something that many people feel. If I'm in a not so safe neighborhood late at night...

So, they can make you millions but your girlfriend should not post a pic with Magic Johnson on her Instagram or bring "black people" to your games. Keep in mind people his girlfriend is Mexican and black. He's upset that she took a picture with Magic Johnson (money or status could never stop racism).  What "Blacks" can do is demand that the Clippers do something about their owner boycott the games or whatever necessary punishment they deem fit. Stand for something or fall for anything! Hit him where it hurts the most "his pockets" we know he'll forever be a racist but why should you profit from the black men you don't want to have anything to do with outside of the game of basketball! As a people we need to stand up and say something when things like this happen. Racism will never go away but when it happens we should not accept it! Latest update is that Donald Sterling said I'm not a racist.  Really Donald? Really?  Chime in and tell...

Racism - still in 2014!
