More than likely, I fricked up in deciphering Twitter's shitty interface, but did I see Jamele Hill actually say that she had no problems with what Cuban said about race?

I love how the word "prejudice" automatically means something horrible.

You are arguing being afraid of a human being wearing a hoody. Rather a black guy wearing a hoody. You might as well just say you are afraid of black guys.

Did anyone see Bruce Bowen's reaction? I honestly don't think he watched the interview.

Jemele Hill ?@jemelehill 4h
So, no I don't have a problem with what Mark Cuban said about race because he was speaking to the nature of people. As for Sterling...

But then she followed up with:

Jemele Hill ?@jemelehill 4h
Mark Cuban has a lot to say about everything, but why is he so silent about Sterling? Does Cuban want him to remain in the league?

This is much ado about nothing.

I did like this :

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."

I think Jemele is just missing the point entirely.

That may (or may not) be a valid question. But I was right in that I saw JH say she had no problems with what Cuban said, and that absolutely floors me (in a good way).

No, he might as well say what he already said. That is that people who are dressed suspiciously regardless of race make him wary. Learn to read between the lines, race baiter.
