"I know I'm prejudiced and I know I'm bigoted in a lot of different ways. If
I see a black kid in a hoodie on my side of the street, I'll move to the other
side of the street. If I see a white guy with a shaved head and tattoos, I'll
move back to the other side of the street. None of us have pure thoughts; we all
live in glass houses."
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.
Funny. They were discussing this on the local morning sports talk show this morning. In the case of Donald Sterling who is being banned for life from the NBA for making comments in private that were recorded, who is to say that Sterling doesn't go on CNN again, and out a few other owners for things they've said? Get your popcorn ready, and let the witch hunts begin from the PC and thought police!

I agree too. I love how what they really wanted to take from what he was trying to say was his two badly worded examples. But, he was being honest and I respect that. I also think he was being honest of how most people feel. To deal with this issue at some point we have to be able to honestly and openly talk about it. Other wise we are just sweeping it under the rug like always and hoping that it will just go away on its own. It wont. But when people do openly try to talk honest about it, this is what they get. Thrown under the bus, because there's a very fine line that people have to walk on within the realms of what they think and want to say and what they know they can't say. Of course, I'm from the belief that we are all a bit prejudice to some degree. However, we can't do anything about it if we cannot acknowledge the truth that we are all like this. This is one case where I will generalize. We are all prejudice to an extent whether we know it or not. However, we've had this under the surface "fear" that we always have to say the right thing in fear of not being politically correct.

For him saying that we are all prejudice? That is ridiculous. Political correctness has gone to far when we can't even say the truth without people ready to lynch someone. Mark Cuban is no more prejudice than you or I. Should we all have everything we've earned taken from us?
There was a black analyst from Espn that I used to like. Rob something or other and he lost his job because he used some phrase describing some brothers as corn row brothers and the reference was that those brothers were more black sort of speak than the other brothers. He was fired for that. Damn, we are getting touchy. This generation wouldn't have survived the seventies. You had prejudice sitcoms on both sides. You had "All in the family", which if you really understood the sub plots, the irony of his racism was that "he" Archie Bunker" was the ignorant one. Then we had show's like "The Jeffersons" George Jefferson used the word "hon ky" like he was winning money from saying it. We all had thick enough skin then and nobody was whining like little girls on a daily basis for this. I personally don't care what anyone say's about my ethnicity. It's just their opinion, what or why do I care?

I think you must have missed the sarcasm in Sour's post, which is understandable, because it doesn't always translate via keyboard. However; you're right about that people have really gotten too thin skinned these days.
