"Flash" Rob in DC. I don't notice anything.



Philly mob that beat up an 11 year old. Hard to tell if anything is going on here that looks alike?





Some evil gun owner shot this poor soul with a hoodie for no reason, wait he was trying to rob the store.



Again, I don't notice anything. Nothing at all.

Which is why I could not understand all the statements about prejudging a black guy in a hoodie. You can clearly see what I am very defensive anytime I am around someone with a hoodie

When someone says that Jews are rich or often in charge that is not considered racist but nowadays often not even anti Semitic and Jews need to deal with that and don't whine.

When black people wear certain type of clothes and call girls in rap songs the N word it is ok but if someone else will say something they a racists.

When you talk about a Camel now you are insulting Muslims.

People should grow a pair and grow up.

As a Jewish person I heard it all especially growing up in Europe and dealing with all the nasty jokes about Jews that were really hurtful and called words just because you are Jewish.

All these black rappers who used the N word should never be allowed to say one word about racism!

Now, he does the same thing in a taped interview.

His argument is that we all have prejudices which is not true.
You can pretend that the entire world has the same flaws as you to make you feel better but it doesnt make it true. He was/is projecting because he wants to defend Sterling; But as a businessman, he should know better.

He actually had a better argument saying Sterlings Private moments shouldnt have been televised than he does with this one.
It is true. We are all human beings and we are all imperfect. If you try to tell me you don't have any prejudices at all, I won't believe you for a second.

It always bothered me as a black man that so many blacks allow their emotions to be controlled by a certain race. Why give a certain race that much power over you with one word?

So that means if a black person hears the N-word 15 times from 15 different white people that person will be in 15 different fights?

Cuban should stay on the same side of the street and play the "Knockout Game"...then he wouldn't be prejudiced or a racist...He'd just be a politically correct unconscious caucasian...

I really don't know why white people want to call black people the n-word.

Cuban isn't prejudiced. He's a pus sy. I don't cross the street because of "scary" looking people. What a wimp.
