I don't believe it. You sound like a big enough racist douche most the time that I'd be surprised if you had lunch with a woman with black hair.

dumbass. dumbass.
doe snot
an internet classic
Did anyone EVER talk about doe snot before the internet? I don't think so!
I do agree that we'd be better off if people could openly discuss their prejudices rather than feeling like they have to keep silent. From what I read of the interview, Cuban's statements would be a good starting point for a discussion on prejudice and stereotypes.

it is pretty funny to see cuban strugling in interviews. thinking and rethinking what he is saying.
lets be honest is this a way to live??
even walking on eggshells, he makes a mistake and having to apologize for saying black kid in hoody would make him cross the street.
it is pretty said where this world is going.
this stuff will go further starting with nba owners all the way down to regular joe's.
LEBRON is a RACIST btw, yes african ameircans or whatever the hell they are called now can be RACIST too

this is a continuation of the stelring affair.
cubans interviews now will be very interesting to watch
Yes. Learning to choose your words carefully is a valuable skill regardless of the situation. Very few of us directly, needlessly insult our bosses/customers; we don't have an issue with choosing our words then. We learn to choose our words carefully with regard to our parents, our children, our neighbors, members of our social groups, etc. Why do you want to disregard that when speaking about minorities?
It depends on whether you see thoughts as being independent of actions, or whether you think your actions affect your thoughts via a feedback mechanism. I think there is evidence that, to some degree, using words of respect will increase thoughts of respect, just as hearing words of respect will increase thoughts of respect.

I think you are right to a point, but to apply it to this topic there is an assumption that forcing them to be quiet = making them use (or hear) words of respect. Largely it will just breed silence.

but thats not honesty bro.
whenever i get in a dispute with a company. i give the mouthpiece of the company the whole turth and nothing but the unedited truth.
after i did that wether the dispute is solved or not.
i then tend to apolgize to the mouthpiece, saying its not personal etc etc. your just doing your job not making policy yada yada.
HONESTY is way more valuable then chosing your word. rather have someone offend me and be honest. then try to be pc and sugarcoat **** and being not completly truthfull
Dutch, you are a homophobe.
This has literally nothing to do with gay marriage. Conservatives have been complaining about political correctness for decades.
Some men like to have sex with other men. Some women like to have sex with other women. It happens. It's not that scary. They're just people too.
Stop being a hateful bigot. It's not a good look.

Here are a couple gems of divine wisdom that addresses these issues!
(Proverbs 10:19) 19 In the abundance of words there does not fail to be transgression, but the one keeping his lips in check is acting discreetly.
(Proverbs 17:28) 28 Even anyone foolish, when keeping silent, will be regarded as wise; anyone closing up his own lips, as having understanding.
(James 1:19, 20) 19 Know this, my beloved brothers. Every man must be swift about hearing, slow about speaking, slow about wrath.

....sad, isn't it? “The urgent sense of personal sin has all but disappeared.”—Newsweek.
“We no longer ask ‘What does God require of me,’ but rather, ‘What can God do for me?’”—Chicago Sun-Times.
In today’s pluralistic and tolerant society, people hesitate to make moral judgments. Doing so is not politically correct, we are told. The greatest sin seems to be to judge another person’s actions.
This kind of reasoning has brought about a change in people’s vocabulary. The word “sin” is now rarely used in serious contexts. For many, it has become a topic for jokes. People are no longer said to “live in sin”; they just “live together.” They are no longer “adulterers”; they are “having an affair.” They are no longer “homosexuals”; they just prefer “an alternative lifestyle.”
But why have attitudes changed? Whatever became of sin? Philosophers, scientists, and theologians in the 19th*century began to question whether accounts in the Bible should be accepted as historically true. For many people, Darwin’s theory of evolution has relegated the story of Adam and Eve to the realm of myth. The result of all of this is that many now consider the Bible to be more a reflection of the mentality and traditions of the writers than a divine revelation.
It is clear that the traditional concept of personal sin and its consequences—as explained by the churches—has failed to help people to overcome the practice of sin. Many churchgoers no longer believe that all these things are wrong. Some reason, for instance, that if two adults have consensual sexual relations and no third party is injured, what is the harm?
A general relaxing of morals in the Western world in the 20th*century has led to, among other things, the so-called sexual revolution. Student protests, countercultural movements, and medically prescribed contraceptives have all played their part in the rejection of traditional ideas of propriety. Soon, Biblical values were upended. A new generation subscribed to a new morality and a new attitude toward sin. From then on, says one writer, “the only law was the law of love”—which basically found expression in the widespread acceptance of illicit sex.
The outgrowth of this type of thinking is a religious culture that defines God in its own terms, churches whose focus is, not on God and what he requires of us, but on man and what will increase his self-esteem. The sole aim is to cater to the needs of the congregation. The fruit is religion emptied of doctrine. “What fills the hole at the center, where the Christian moral code used to be?” asks The Wall Street Journal. “An ethic of conspicuous compassion, where ‘being a nice person’ excuses everything.”
