There is no similarity of a nazi tattooed white man or a black man with a hoodie
The FEAR based on the stereotype of both is what needs to be challenged
Mark Cuban was speaking from HIS perspective, which is obviously different from a black man's, but I understood his point.
Whereas for him, it might take a "big tattooed white man" to make him cross the street, for a
BLACK man, all it might take for him to cross the street is seeing a white man in a police uniform.
Personally, if i'm in an all white neighborhood, i'm gonna be skittish of ANY white man that I encounter.
Same thing if i'm in the hood...i'm gonna be skittish of any approaching young blacks.
My perspective isn't based on any stereotype but from
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
I have been attacked and had to defend myself against both
WHITE and
BLACK.
I remember when I first watched the tv show "Happy Days" and saw the character called "The Fonz".
He reminded me of a white man that threatened me with a knife when I was a kid.
Every time I watched that show I was reminded of those white guys that used to chase me during that period.
That was back when Martin Luther King was alive and whites were
PROUD to be racists!
My point is that Mark Cuban had every right to give his perspective.
There was no need for Dr. Dyson to challenge that.
Mark Cuban was honest about his fears and what made him apprehensive.
Of course, there's a different perspective among blacks.
