    Cuban:

    "For him to try to turn it into something it's not is wrong," Cuban told ESPN. "He owes the NBA an apology. I think he does, because to try to create some connotation that owning equity in a company that you busted your ass for is the equivalent of ownership in terms of people, that's just wrong. That's just wrong in every which way.

    "People who read that message and misinterpret it -- make it seem like we don't do everything possible to help our players succeed and don't care about their families and don't care about their lives, like hopefully we do for all of our employees -- that's just wrong."

    "We own equity; we don't own people," Cuban said. "And there's a big difference. This is a country where we have corporations, and you put up your money and buy equity. E-Q-U-I-T-Y. It translates into shares of stock. People who bust their ass and work hard and get a little bit lucky have enough money to buy enough shares of stock to buy a company.

    "To try to turn it into something that it's not is ridiculous. Draymond can trash-talk on the court, but when he comes into our world, it doesn't fly. ... I guess it's because he went to Michigan State and didn't take any business classes, but you own equity. When you own a team, you own equity, shares of stock. That's called ownership. Tell him if he wants to take classes at Indiana's business school, I'll even pay for his classes and we'll help him learn that stuff."

    I love that Cuban is offering to pay for classes to alleviate his ignorance.

    White House press secretary Sarah Sanders body-shamed by LA Times columnist
    Horsey originally wrote Wednesday that Sanders “does not look like the kind of woman” that President Donald Trump would chose for the high-profile role, assuming he would prefer “sleek beauties with long legs and stiletto heels” who could pass for “arm candy” in addition to serving as the White House’s top spokesperson.

    The Times’ two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist and columnist went on to mention that first daughter Ivanka Trump and first lady Melania Trump are closer to the “Barbie dolls in short, tight skirts” that he envisions Trump preferring at the press briefing podium on a regular basis.

    “By comparison, Sanders looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games,” Horsey wrote. “Rather than the fake eyelashes and formal dresses she puts on for news briefings, Sanders seems as if she’d be more comfortable in sweats and running shoes.”

    Car near K-State painted with ‘Go Home ****** Boy’ and students are fed up
    After a vandal tagged a car Wednesday with racial slurs, African American students at Kansas State University say they are fed up with racist acts at the school.

    Riley County Police are investigating the vandalism in an apartment parking lot about a half mile from the Manhattan campus.

    “Go Home ****** Boy” was painted in yellow across the rear windshield. Other expletives were painted on the side of the car.
    Police identified the man whose car had been vandalized and he returned a call to The Star Wednesday evening saying he was a student at the university.
    ...
    The man who called The Star said the vandalism and the resulting social media explosion has made it “impossible for me to go anywhere. I can’t drive my car anywhere without people stopping me.” The Star is not naming him for safety reasons.

    He said he does not want the attention and has withdrawn from the university and intends to return to his home in California.

    “I was not raised to discriminate,” he said. He called the vandalism "sad, hurtful and disappointing.”

    Police are looking at whether the vandalism should be investigated as a hate crime, said Hali Rowland, public information officer for Riley County Police.
    ....
    By Wednesday afternoon members of the Black Student Union were “getting together to figure out the next step,” said Hammond, who is active with the student group. Tentative plans were being made to convene an event Thursday evening related to the vandalism.

    Comments about the vandalism blew up on social media Wednesday afternoon.

    One person repeated one phrase that was sprayed on the car: “Date your own kind.”

    In response, the person tweeted: “ For those who still think racism ended with Rosa Parks.”

    Yall know I am sympathetic to the plight of the black man but the way these kids go way overboard with this **** is crazy. Vandalism and implied threats is a serious matter but the way you would hear students talk about it black students are being literally lynched on campus. Its insulting to the generations who suffered before this generation. Its insulting to the black people wrongfully incarcerated and killed every day for victimless crimes.

    Air Force: Racial Slurs Written by 1 Person Who Was Targeted
    Racial slurs posted outside the dorm rooms of five black students at the Air Force Academy were written by one of those students, the school said Tuesday.

    The announcement was a jarring turn in an episode that prompted the academy's superintendent to warn students that racists were not welcome at the school — a speech that attracted nationwide attention.

    The student is no longer at the school, the academy said. A spokesman declined to say whether the student withdrew or was expelled, citing privacy laws. The student's name wasn't released.

    The slurs were found in September at a dormitory that houses students attending the academy's prep school. The prep school is on the academy grounds but not part of the four-year academy program. It helps promising students meet the academy's entrance requirements.

    In a written statement Tuesday, the academy said, "We can confirm that one of the cadet candidates who was allegedly targeted by racist remarks written outside of their dorm room was actually responsible for the act. The individual admitted responsibility and this was validated by the investigation."

    The statement added, "Racism has no place at the academy, in any shape or form."

    It makes sense for people to fake these controversies because they see how the left enthusiastically slurps it up and violently reacts.

    Problem is it makes taking these events seriously hard to do. More seem to be fake than real

    If a minor can be charged with child pornography of himself why cant a black person be charged with a hate crime against themselves?

    Transgender lessons for two-year-olds: Drag queens drafted into nursery schools to teach children about sexual diversity
    Drag queens are being brought into taxpayer-funded nursery schools so that children as young as two can learn about transgender issues.

    The cross-dressers are reading nursery rhymes and singing specially adapted songs ‘to teach children about LGBT tolerance’.

    Nursery bosses say the sessions are needed so that children can ‘see people who defy rigid gender restrictions’ and grow up to combat hate crime.

    They want to target two and three-year-olds to influence them early, as they say at this age children have not yet developed any discriminatory ‘isms’.

    The ‘performances’ are the brainchild of Thomas Canham, a Bristol University law graduate and part-time cross-dresser who dismisses traditional notions of masculinity as ‘meaningless’.

    But critics last night said the sessions could ‘blind impressionable children of two and three to one of the most basic facts of human existence’.

    Leading child psychotherapist Dilys Daws, co-author of the book Finding Your Way With Your Baby, feared they could sow the seeds of confusion in young children about their own sexual identity, with long-term consequences.

    She said: ‘There’s this idea that’s sweeping the country that being transgender is an “ordinary situation”. It’s getting so much publicity that it’s getting children thinking that they might be transgender, when it otherwise wouldn’t have occurred to them.

    Letter: It is Not Okay to be White
    On my walk to class the other day, I ran across a plain sign. It was simple black text on a blank sheet of printer paper simply saying, “it’s okay to be white.” This seemingly simple statement is aggressive and it’s false, it’s not okay to be white.

    Whiteness is not an ethnicity, nor is it a culture, nor is it a language group, or any other identifier. It was — and continues to be — a social construction of privilege between people. To be white unabashedly is to accept with full force every privilege and construction that goes into the race “white.” It means accepting that because of your color, you are more capable, better educated, better suited for an office environment and more developed. You accept these things because they are all apart of the systematic creation of the race “white.”

    Cambridge University professor tells new students not to have a 'good time' because it is 'not possible or acceptable'
    “Please be careful how you handle yourselves here in these early weeks: remember you are NOT at any other uni, where students do drink and do have what they regard as ‘a good time’ – and you are NOT on a course, as some Cambridge courses sadly are, where such a behaviour pattern is possible or acceptable,” he wrote to first year sciences students.

    He added: “Physical Sciences is a VERY hard subject, which will require ALL of your attention and your FULL brain capacity (and for a large fraction of you, even that will not be quite enough).

    “You can ONLY do well (i.e. achieve your potential, which rightly or wrongly several people here assumed you have) if you are completely focused, and learn to enjoy the course. People who just TAKE the course, but enjoy their social life, can easily survive in many subjects – but not in this one.”

    He said students should “not be fooled by the number of people you see partying around” and suggested first-year students would not make it into higher years if they followed suit.

    Instead, they should “do well at your job, learn to enjoy it – and then see if you have any desire to drink an extra bottle”, he said. He signed the email: “End of.”

    The warning was widely shared on social media and provoked an angry response from students at Cambridge, which has previously been criticised for the pressure it places on students, amid concern over mental health issues.

    MTA Scraps 'Ladies and Gentlemen' Subway Announcements: Reports
    Subway riders will no longer be addressed as “ladies and gentlemen” by subway conductors, according to reports.
    The change comes after NYC Transit reportedly sent a bulletin to workers that orders them to use a list of gender-neutral terms like “passengers,” “riders,” or “everyone.”
    According to a report in the New York Post, the bulletin also directs conductors to override prerecorded greetings that use “ladies and gentlemen” until replacements are made.
    One station worker told the Post that the transit agency was “trying to be politically correct,” while an MTA spokesperson said the decision took gender issues into account.

    what always gets me is that these SJW want to deprive people they think have repugnant views from getting an education. How the hell is that supposed to fix anything. If they dont feel safe in an enviroment where SJW outnumber Nazis by about 10,000 to 1 then you need to be locked in a padded room. Also weird to me that we kick people out of school for drugs. How does kicking someone out of school for pot help anyone? Its just spiting a person to be cruel.
