So does everyone else who inhabits the real world. I stereotpye all the time to keep my family safe. I don't give a rats ass if someone 7 states over is offended by how I view people. Eat it.
The perpetually outraged are outraged yet again.....

I was going to say: this part of his quote is conveniently missing from all the headlines. Gee I wonder why
Fact is most people who feel threatened by whatever or whoever are going to cross the street.
A lot of people are afraid of big bald white guys with tattoos. That's not racist any more than being nervous around a black guy who looks like he's part of a gang.
Self-preservation takes precedence over political correctness.

Speak for yourself....I ain't crossing the street.
What's the sense in even leaving your house if your right to walk down the sidewalk is comprised by a baldheaded white guy or a Black Dude in a hoodie. That's ridiculous.
If they have a problem with sharing a sidewalk without being a menace, then THEY should walk across the street...not me.
I think we all have said something behind close doors that we are not going to say in public. Are we all racists? I don't think so. But we as humans are subject to prejudice, personal opinions, and don't forget, we are who are are through experiences also.
Racism still exists, as we all know. But I think the purpose of life is to help as many people of all races as you can. Be true to yourself, live an authentic life, and create a better future. I try to be true to myself, not to some political fad that suffocates my individualism by emphasizing racial, ethnic, or religious background.

In the context of the quote, you are saying wearing a hoodie makes you look like you are part of a gang, is that what you are saying ????
Just because jackson said it doesnt make it right, and im pretty sure the context was different,as someone already posted the quote on another thread.
It wasn't different.
"I hate to admit it, but I have reached a stage in my life that if I am walking down a dark street late at night and I see that the person behind me is white, I subconsciously feel relieved."
Cuban is paying black players millions of dollars a year.......yep he's a racist just like Sterling. Oh wait he has a tall white guy on his team named Dirk............best take his team away..........lol

If you see bunch of guys wearing a KC Royals hat or Reds hat late at night walking towards you then you best move around em the best you can.
