I'm pretty sure a lot of black men will cross the street too if they see another black man coming at them in a hoodie.

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.
No, i am just not being obtuse on purpose. It is clear Cuban was describing the stereotypical thug looking black person, and the stereotypical skinhead looking white person. You however are trying to nitpick and act like this is who Cuban was describing:

Most of the African-American ESPN reporters I have heard speak on it agree with him? He probably could have used a better analogy with everyone still remembering the Trayvon case but all in all nothing he said was wrong, offensive, or incorrect. Stephen A Smith agreed candidly.

So Cuban bit off of Chris Rock's old bit.

When I go to the ATM, I don't look over my shoulder for the media.....

What Cuban said isn't about race, it's about "fashion". It's prejudice but it's not racist. I'm sure he'd feel the same thing about a Mexican in Cholo fashion. Or an Asian person with Triad tattoos.

The image that you put out to the world is going to influence how people see you. If you dress to a stereotype then you will be stereotyped.

Sterling is a racist douche, Cuban is a prejudiced person like everyone else.

Wouldn't be surprised if posters in this thread are afraid of a person that looks and dresses like that.

FeartheHat007 is one of them.

I think what everyone is missing is Cuban said he'd go to the other side of the street if he saw the black dude, and when he sees the skinhead, he says he moves BACK to the other side (where the black guy is)...Cuban thinks skinheads are scarier than black guys in hoodies!

so basically Cuban is saying black guys are pussies.

Jesse Jackson has arguably said worse:

"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

He's trolling. I refuse to believe that someone is that stupid.
