Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My Games

Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I thought we agreed to ignore each other? I guess you must find me too interesting to ignore. I'm glad I give you a sense of purpose.

But I will say that you're a liar. I never "obsessed" over his political party. One poster asked what his party affiliation was, and I gave him a simple one line answer, which was "He's a Democrat if you base it on his political contributions", which was a true statement - and hardly obsessing.

Now, back to ignore for you. Have a lovely day!

I never agreed to ignore you, I told you to ignore me if you were going to continue to be annoyed that I actually responded to your posts on a public forum. I don't have anyone on ignore. And, obviously, neither do you.:lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo

You were the one doubting whether Bundy was actually a registered Republican.

Okay, keep on obsessing over me then. Hey, everyone needs a hobby (and a fixation). :2wave:

I'm not annoyed at you. I like having someone who wants my attention really badly. That hasn't happened much since after I turned 40.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Uhh, registering as a Republican means he claims to be a Republican. This isn't difficult.
When someone registers with a political party that means they claim to be a member of that party. Like I said, this isn't hard.

I'm sorry for both of you that it's inconvenient a wealthy Republican is racist. But inconvenience doesn't change the truth.

Unless one is a card carrying member of a political party, they aren't actually a member of that political party.
Anyone can register with any political party they choose to but it doesn't mean they are a member of that party in good standing.

A good example is the Democrat KKK member David Duke. When he found that he could no longer be elected to political office as a Democrat which he has always has been like most KKK members, he reregistered as a Republican hoping by having a "R" after his name would get him in office.

Duke isn't a Republican or has he ever been accepted or recognized by any Republican Party organization. Duke is a Democrat hiding behind a "R."

The progressives have the same problem today with Marxist hiding behind the progressive label.

Who draws up a political party's platform ? Being a registered Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc. doesn't allow you to have a say or help to draw up the party's platform. Only those who are actually card carrying members of the political party gets to decide what the party's platform is.

That's the "hook, line and sinker" on how it works in American politic$.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

It must suck to be so partisan you can no longer see right from wrong, it is all about party:roll:. I never thought it matter a whit what party he was. But, factually if he was registered as a Republican, he is until he changes it.
Get over it.

He registered himself as a republican, just accept a fact every once in a while...
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

First of all, they are under contract. They can't do that. Secondly, why should they sacrifice their income?

yep. as in all things, practicality trumps principle.....
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Bull****!!! This woman set him up. If you buy into this bull**** tape, good for you. She was baiting him...setting him up...I hope she made her $$, 'cause I'm betting he's through with her ass.

Okay, let's assume that he was set up by her, was it right for him to say what he said? A lesson all of these multi-millionaires should have learned from Mitt Romney's 47% comment was "never say in private what you wouldn't say in public" and never assume that what you say in private will remain private.

Bottom Line: He's a racist at worse, a bigot at best and someone who truly believes in "White Privilege" in the utmost. He can blame his racist/bigoted views on "the culture of Corporate America" if he wishes, but it's just an excuse for him being a jerk.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Slavery in Africa has not only existed throughout the continent for many centuries, but continues in the current day. Should concentrate on the slavery still going on in Africa. Thank God whitey FOUGHT to free the slaves there was no Django.

Atlantic slave trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But nowhere near as rich as the west africans that sold them into slavery!

The vast majority of those enslaved that were transported to the New World were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent, sold by West Africans to Western European slave traders



:doh

Dion didn't say slavery was exclusive to White Americans. She merely said (male) White slave owners generally had sex with their female slaves and created their wealth on the backs of slave labor. Both are very true. So, your take on White America's non-exclusive participation in the slave trade is irrelevant here.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Does it really matter what a racist pig party affilitation is? I really dont get this. When someone stated babbling about him being a democrat I thought it was stupid, and now I think it was stupid. I guess that is a sign of partisanship.

You knew his political party would come up. It really hasn't anything to do with this whole event anymore than the state of his birth. As far as I know Sterling has never ran for political office but this all of sudden became important for some moron.

But we knew some pointed head partisan hack would try to google his political party. I don't have time to go through all the posts and threads but who was the first partisan hack to jump on this?
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Why should the black africans that sold them into slavery get a pass?

"A fair exchange ain't no robbery." Tupac Shakur w/Digital Underground <<<< this statement do you really believe it?

Why should I or anyone else other than Africans care what happens to Black Africans in a post-slavery world? Their crimes of selling their own people into slavery is in the past. Let their government and the African people deal with the legacy of that issue.

And yes, I do believe that "a fair exchange" is not robbery. Why? Because of the mutual agreement of the exchange between both parties. As long as they agree on the terms of the exchange, why should there be a problem with it?
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Dion said they are no more then slave owners!

She said no such thing.

Dion said:
Hey votemout ... the discussion was our opinions of this man. Regardless ... he is modern day slave owner and the gold digger he was buying outed him.

That is it. Most people are not like him. I hope he is kicked out of the NBA.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

He's an old man. That's the thing. He was raised under a racist flag. In WWII, blacks still had to step off the sidewalk in the south when white people walked by. That's his world. He didn't say anything bad about blacks, if you notice. He just asked her not to associate with them. That's typical of his generation. They're dying off. Be patient.

And that gives him an excuse to be a racist jerk? Goodness, MaggieD. I thought you were smarter than this. Stop trying to defend the indefensible. Donald Sterling may have grew up in an environment where racist was prevalent, but it's 2014 for goodness sake! "Let go of the hate already!" Geez!
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I like how racists' "Freedom of Association!!11!!" goes out the window when a private organization doesn't want a racist among them.

It is so easy to suggest to others they should give up their money.

Oh, I think what he said was horrible. My point is that he's an old fart. He's 80-something years old. His views, frankly, don't matter any more. This is nothing new for this guy, by the way. He's been a racist jerk forever. It's part-and-parcel of his generation. We know he's a complete nincompoop since he's with that 22-year-old bimbo. Probably has terminal dementia. Hard to get really worked up from a righteous standpoint about it.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I registered as a Democrat at various times in my life. So that makes me a Democrat. Just like Ronald Reagan was a Democrat, and Hillary Clinton must be a Republican because she once registered as a Republican.

wow he is currently registered as a Republican and that is irrelevant to the fact that he is a racist.....but keep trying to obfuscate....

Yep.......those who knew about his racism over his 30 years as owner of the clippers and looked the other way are just as bad as he is. As Kareem Abdul Jabar put it.....why the sudden outrage?

But don't you see, MaggieD...

He's a multi-millionaire with a looooooooong history of discriminating against minorities because he firmly believes that his wealth, his influence, his prestige all give him the right to do it. Now, imagine how widespread this "culture in Corporate America" goes. Will you excuse every corporate executive who is 65+ for making racist remarks because their old? If so, get ready to kiss a lot of old, rich white ass!

While there are some like you who are defending him, I say it's a good thing that he finally got called out. Not that I wish any harm upon him or that I envy his wealth. I just think it's right to call out racism - PERIOD! And frankly, we all should be glad when it happens (yes, votemont, even against Jesse, Sharpton, Charles Barkley and Pres. Obama [although I find it hard to believe a sitting President could every be racist])....makes the country a better place.

I said I thought what he said was horrible. What else do you expect people to do?? Yes! He's racist! That's no surprise. He's been a racist forever. News flash. You don't have to be a rich old white guy to be a racist. There are plenty his age who are racist. But, remember. They're a dying breed. ;)

Is it too much to ask that they simply do the right thing and not defend nor make excuses for people who do wrong? What Donald Sterling said wasn't a mere slip of the tongue, nor was it a result of some mental disorder. He said what he said because it's what's in his heart. It's what he believes. Unfortunately, what he believes, as well as his business conduct on race relations, is wrong! And now he's paying the price for his wrong doing.

This wasn't race baiting. You could certainly call it a setup if you wish (and you'd get no argument from me), but he did himself in by just being a stupid, love-sick, racist jerk.

Like Donald Sterling, I grew up in a very racist environment, where there were race riots in the schools, housing was very segregated, and people could get beaten to death for walking down the wrong street. That was my world too.

But then I grew up. And it's not the same world anymore.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Bet you without looking we can narrow it down to 4 or 5, but certainly 10. I am going to go look now.
