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

Two days later, and I saw a brief blip on this. I found the almost 10 minute audio and listened to it. He is arguing with his girlfriend about perception. Her taking photos with prominent black people. At points in the audio, he tells his young hot half Latino half Black girlfriend he doesn't care who she associates with in private, and talks like he is a cuckold. He just doesn't want her to keep putting pictures on the internet. It is his girlfriend that keeps making it a racist thing, and he keeps talking about perception.

If she gets knocked up.... It makes sense that he doesn't want her sleeping with black people. He wouldn't be able to claim the child as his, and it would create yet another controversy.

Ooooppppssss..... Too late...
I did, too. Kind of makes me wonder after reading through this thread how many who have commented have actually listened to it.

Apparently Sterling has a history of this sort of thing that is common knowledge amongst NBA insiders. This particular incident seems to be a case of his past no longer allowing him the benefit of the doubt because, like you, I couldn't really tell whether he didn't want her "hanging" with black guys because he was a racist or whether he didn't want her hanging with black guys because he didn't want her to be perceived as the gold digging whore that she obviously is.

No matter though. I don't have the least bit of sympathy for him. "Cuckold" is soooooo freaking accurate!

Mike Greenberg from ESPN says the owners have that right, and I trust him over you.
Well, he is an idiot if he claimed it applied to the facts we know behind this.

LOL...

I can't resist...

He is obviously doing something he isn't comfortable with, why...

And wearing gloves?

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

How were liberals intolerent of the clippers' owner prior to his comments? How did they focus on him? Did they object to his owning a business, to his race, his relationship, his life style...how were liberals intollerent of him prior to his statement?

What a bogus argument.

by your rationale, RNC chair Rince Prebis, Sen. Rand Paul, and all the other Rebuplicans that denounced Cliven Bundy's comments are intollerent.
You sure do assume alot.

How many of these other statements are taken out of context?

Now maybe there are some, but the first I ever heard of them are in this thread. I haven't seen any of them in enough detail to find the factual parts of them in context.

I do know this as fact however. The liberal media and talking heads make "racism" out of anything they can when it comes to people of certain background. Because of that, and there very seldom accuracy regarding such facts, I know better than to believe their stories without investigating farther.

You said liberals were intollerent. now it's media taking heads...which is it?

One should not make statements of fact, when they have none.

When I said "liberal media and talking heads," to clarify, I meant "liberal media and liberal talking heads." Apply liberal to both as applicable.

Let's just hope this doesn't destroy his marriage. It would be awful for 50 years of wonderful marriage to do down the drain just because of having a g/f on the side for 4 years.

these are YOUR words.
What ever happened to liberal tolerance for others, and respecting other people's culture?

Now I know you say what you don't mean or have the slightest clue of what you post.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

This is between him and his girlfriend, far as I'm concerned. :shrug:
This should have been the end of the thread. I still don't see why everyone is up in arms about this. If he was actively discriminating against someone, then I'd be right there with everyone else crying foul. But he made a private comment to his girlfriend, a comment one reasonably expects to remain private. He did not say it publicly, he's not championing this position publicly, he simply had an argument with his girlfriend.

I have several friends who are black/minority. I find the man's words to be awful and incredibly racist. But, at the end of the day, as long as he's not discriminating against anyone, why should any of us care? Why are people not entitled to their opinion?

Are you suggesting that the liberal print and talking heads don't exploit the liberals lack to tolerance? History proves that liberals are only tolerant of ideals that liberals preach. i don't have a clue as to why you are trying to spin my intent.

Careful, I do take offense to such actions! I do not tolerate very well, people being intellectually dishonest when it comes to my words.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Wish I was rich instead of so damn good looking.
I saw that and would love to know more details.

This same thing happened to Anna Nicole when her 132 year old billionaire hubby met her at a strip club and married her. His kids sued her. I guess it's common practice when gold diggers try to get their hands on the rich boyfriend's cash.

It is important for all to see that this rationale is still very active. When the woman asked ...What does it matter? and he answers that there is cultural pressure he must[and she must] adhere to...That should make us all take notice.

He is aware of the public spotlight, and wants to maintain an image. Her constantly posting pictures of herself with men, who happen to be black, doesn't look good for him.

Can't you see past the color?

Did you listen to the whole thing?

It was her that kept interjecting color and race.

Would you appreciate it if your girlfriend posted countless pictures on Facebook with other men?

My god, stop the insanity. He is fricking married and worried about himself not looking good because his mistress is posting pics of herself with other men.

Well the g/f has just ripped his ass apart in public. Now, am waiting for the wife to step in and take big bite out of his wallet next.

It never works out when you are married and have an affair with a younger woman. How many times do we need to see this to learn that lesson.

And the racism in all that is......?

I am not suggesting anything...this is your contention, not mine.

History proves that liberals are only tolerant of ideals that liberals preach.
History may, but you did not. I asked you a direct question. "How did liberals treat this man intollerently prior to his statement." To which you can not or will not answer.


i don't have a clue as to why you are trying to spin my intent.

Maybe your confusion comes in that I have not attempted to "spin" anything you have said..yet you believe I did.

Careful, I do take offense to such actions! I do not tolerate very well, people being intellectually dishonest when it comes to my words.

I have no control over "your feelings".

If I said yes, I did hear the complete audio... and said your assessment was incorrect... would that be any different then if I said no, I did not hear the full audio, and said your assessment was incorrect?
