Says famous person Ice Cube...
Says former gansta rapper and star of Are We There Yet? movies....

Not really the most culturally relevant person these days. The kids nowadays don't much listen to the Ice Cubes or T's of the world anymore.

I agree with you that Cube's point is probably much more straightforward than the article is trying to make it seem and that's that black people=athleticism. Is it racist? Maybe, probably, but I'm not interested enough in either baseball or Ice Cube to really care about this one dumb statement he made.

I personally think that's a strong contender for the most racist statement of the year. Easily top 5.
Lol. That's the most racist? What are some of the runner-ups for comparison?

Why Mr Cube? So they can win more....

I personally think that's a strong contender for the most racist statement of the year. Easily top 5. Is there any white celebrity who could say that and not have it end their career? They'd at least have to apologize for the next two weeks....

Thoughts?

I could be wrong, but didn't he vote for Donald Trump in 2016?

Oh...let's see....

There's "go back to where you came from"...and I think there's a viral video of a pool guy dropping the n bomb a few times.

You don't think blanket generalizations about the relative athleticism of the entire black race is....racist? What if he said "all asians are smart"?

Racial remarks,are subject to be exempt if your political views are media Friendly

The same rule applies to saying anything you want about anybody you want

This rule applies to professional hypocrites who enlighten us with their superior performance in movies like Friday

Ice T-Rick and Morty reference?
No, that other thing where Ice-T was an alien.

The guy jumped the shark when he started a feud with a 17 year old.

It's not discrimination if it's positive discrimination, apparently.
