I watch him on shark tank... I now concur with his thought patterns very often.

5 years ago... I used to say to myself if this bozo can earn a billion, anyone can. When he spoke on TV he was almost always illogical. Now, its like a smart alien possessed him ... I can't believe its the same guy.

Perhaps running an NBA team trained him to think in more of a systematic manner.

I agree that Cuban seems to have gained some humility in recent years, where as before he was a pompous douche, the only thing that bugs me about him is when he starts talking about his own genius as it pertains to business, when realistically he just so happened to be in the right place at the right time, and he hung a steaming dog turd on yahoo and cashed out big on it. With that said i also watch shark tank, and i like him or oleary the best.

This seems weird but it appears Cuban opened the door to the actual race debate that no one wants to have, I have seen a number of responses to what he said, and people seem to be having a legitimate discussion now, not just shrieking racist at anyone they disagree with.

Listen to this reaction from Stephen A. Smith of ESPN, a devoted leftist, who predictably got attacked, and called an uncle tom for simply talking about what cuban said without just brandishing him a racist. This is the honest conversation on race that we should be having, not the MSNBC style "on a scale of 9-10 how racist are conservatives" stupidity where they just label everyone a racist and never talk about the reason why stereotypes exist, or the troubles that ail the black community

Here is Smith's initial reaction that sparked the previous video, it really is a shame that our media is so stupid and biased that it takes ESPN commentators, and Mark Cuban to start a meaningful dialogue about race.

I have to admit, the more recent stuff i see from cuban the more i like him, clearly i misjudged his intelligence to some extent because of how arrogant he seemed in the early 2000's when he sold his turd of a company for a few billion dollars.

Just saw this on real clear politics, Here is something that no one wants to address, the reality of how colleges are cripling people while lazy profs live the high life, and work a few hours a week. At the present cost of a college education its getting harder and harder to make the claim that it is actually worth it,

But it's sooooo much easier to whine about inequality* and beg the government to "make things right".

*another cowardly, chickenshit Leftist/Democrat platform along with "wealth redistribution"
