What a crazy mixed up world we live in today. For the first time in history, we have a Black man running nominated by a major party for President of the United States. Now, people say Racism is dead in America. Being a middle-class white guy in north texas, I honestly haven’t noticed much racism at all in my life, so I never really payed attention to it. This morning, Mark Cuban brought some much needed attention to the race issue in America.
As you all know, Josh Howard, (Dallas Mavericks) has been getting into quite a bit of trouble recently. From throwing a party, talking about smoking marijuana, getting arrested for speeding, and now this National Anthem issue…
Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks Owner) Has been getting a lot of flack for still keeping Josh on the roster. He has posted a response about this National Anthem escapade on his blog. He has also posted emails some ignorant people sent him as well.
No Matter how much of an idiot Josh is, some of the emails I read this morning honestly make me sick. There is no room for people to write the type of things they have written. I commend Mr. Cuban for bringing this important issue back into focus.
::UPDATE:: had to correct above statement. Jesse Jackson Ran in 1984.
