Mark Cuban defends Donald Sterling

Mark Cuban is one of the most outspoken owners in American sports.  It seems as if the former internet tycoon is always in the middle of some sort of controversy.  When he's not busy getting fined for criticizing NBA officials, he usually finds some way to ruffle feathers.  Cuban is in the media more than George Steinbrenner was during his run as owner of the evil empire.

" If I see a black kid in a hoodie, and its late at night I'm walking to the other side of the street" said Cuban. " and if on that side of the street there's a guy that has tattoos all over his face, white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere I'm walking back to the other side of the street."

I presume this was an attempt by Cuban to not be hypocritical!

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOUVE SEEN A BRASH OF VOILENCE TOWARDS CAUCASIONS BY LAW ENFORCEMENT IN AMERICA?

This is an obvious attempt to ease the pressure coming down on Donald Sterling.  Cuban is probably fearful of himself being recorded by one of his closest confidants, which could pit him in the same situation Sterling is currently facing.  I doubt Cuban is a racist, but I would love to be a fly on the wall to hear how he truly feels about black people.

Cuban chose the wrong platform to get his point across.  The senseless murder of Trayvon Martin and the wrongful acquittal of George Zimmerman are still simmering in people across America.  What it comes down to is blacks should know better than to wear a hoodie after hours in the wrong neighborhood.  However, someone is Cuban's position should know better than to equate the Sterling saga to the ongoing issue of racial profiling in America.
