Mavericks owner Mark Cuban offers apology to Trayvon Martin's family...
NY Daily News ^ | 5/22/14 | BERNIE AUGUSTINE

Speaking about the Donald Sterling scandal with the Clippers, and how the country has evolved in terms of race relations, Cuban touched on a hot topic when he said, 'We’re all prejudice in one way or another. If I see a black kid in a hoodie, and it’s late at night, I’m walking to the other side of the street.'

...."In hindsight I should have used different examples. I didn't consider the Trayvon Martin family, and I apologize to them for that. Beyond apologizing to the Martin family, I stand by the words and the substance of the interview,"

I give up...no one is EVER allowed to mention black kids wearing HOODIES anymore, because one kid assaulted a man who defended himself as determined in a criminal court of law??

Grow a pair, Cuban.

The "black kid in a hoodie" remark led to comparisons to the Trayvon Martin slaying,

So... who is doing the comparison?

Why does he apologize to the Martins?

Did the Martins claim offense?

The article doesn't say so - just that this remarks "led to" comparisons.

Trayvon was a thug and a gangsta wannabe. Cuban didn’t mention his name in the interview. He talked about hoodies. Is that something only Trayvon wears?

I’m so sick of this shit.

Pardon me, are ‘they’ going to break out the stocks and pillories and possibly ‘The Gallows’ for Jesse Jackson?

I believe he made the exact same statement (HE didn’t even mention hoodies) about ‘Black Yutes’.

Why apologize? It was proven beyond a whisper of a doubt that Saint Trayvon was a punk who brought a length of concrete sidewalk to a gunfight.

Cuban has more money than Sterling and will make it all better with donations.
