    Man, I don't know what I was going to read when I clicked this thread. I 100% thought it was going to be about Mark Wahlberg and the Celtics.

    I don't recall the specifics, and he might be "cool" now, but you can google and find various stories about Wahlberg's racist past.

    "
    April 8, 1988, Mark decided to turn his hatred towards Asians. Thanh Lam, while carrying two cases of beer from his car to his home, was struck by a large wooden stick wielded by Mark Wahlberg; Mark, at this time, called Thanh a "Vietnam fu--ing sh-t!" The blow knocked the man out.

    Mark and two others left the scene. Mark then ran into another Vietnamese man named Hoa Trinh; at first asking the man for help in hiding from the police, when police came along, Wahlberg punched the man in the eye, knocking him to the ground; Trinh ended up losing that eye.

    While in police custody, Mark continued to refer to "Slant-eyed g--ks" and other such slurs.

    All of this is a matter of public record and Wahlberg admits to these incidents openly. For the last crime, Wahlberg was sentenced to two years in prison, but served 45 days and was released."


    45 days . . . dude lost and eye . . . .
    then he wanted to get it removed from his record . . . .. like it didn't happen

    Regardless of the incident, of course a guy would want to get a crime he committed as a 16 year old expunged.

    Don't need to look far. He has a three decade history of racism.

    Nothing in this article suggests that Mark Cuban is racist, in fact it says " nobody’s blaming Cuban for putting it there" referring to the noose in the closet.

    On the other hand, the OP has a history of race baiting and unfounded accusations of racism. Racism is a problem here, this thread is evidence of it.

    So, why was there a noose in a closet again? Does the author of this article just consider that not relevant to the story?

    Of course not...you just need to insert some buzz words to get the racists who claim others are racists to get them going now a days. Protest, and possibly, riot ensues, then if it's called out and proven BS no one will apologize for the millions of dollars in damage and assault on innocents but simply say, "well...it wasn't for this incident, it was for the decades, hell, centuries of oppression!". Didn't you get the memo?
