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

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

He doesn't want her to pose pictures of herself with black men as that would be embarrassing to himself. So to me that is someone who looks at the black race as be inferior to his. It would be no different if Michael Jordan became upset his daughter posted pics of herself with white men. People would call Jordan a racist.

I don't know why there is this big hangup on calling a duck a duck. I just want to know what makes his "wife" tick. Or was she a gold digger too? Your husband openly flaunts his hot young g/f and takes her to sit in your seat at the games. Oh but big money has such a lure.

I wasn't talking about his wife.

What does Michael Jordan have to do with this? He's married to a white woman. Does that mean he's racist against black women?

If Sterling were a Republican you know the leftist spoke holes would be labeling every Republican a racist.

He's another NBA owner and former player. That is what he has to do with it.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I keep saying that, but the paranoids on here keep ignoring it.

So he wasn't a racist until yesterday apparently. And all that came out yesterday was him telling his gold digger lady friend that he didn't want her to bring black friends to the game, and didn't want her to post selfies with a black man. This of course coming from a man who surrounds himself with black people.

Indeed, all he was doing was trying to bring Affirmative Action rules to the NBA!! ;)

I wonder if the reaction from some on here would be so pronounced if he instead said "I don't want you bringing your Catholic friends to the games anymore, and stop posting selfies of you and your fellow church members".

He'd be at an NAACP dinner accepting an award.

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?
Absolutely.

At least you are using your own opinion than going by what others say, if you listened to the whole thing in context. It's easy for pundits to spin the truth with just snippets.

You still didn't answer the question. Why are you avoiding it?

Dont be soooo partisan all the time.

He's another NBA owner and former player. That is what he has to do with it.

Which has nothing to do with the discussion about a specific NBA owner's comments being racist or not.

But thank you for the NBA lesson. Hey, let's talk about James Dolan too as long as we're simply talking about NBA players and owners.

Maybe she is the racist since she is only posing with blacks...

He wasn't complaining about her guy friends being black. He wasn't even complaining about her having guy friends. He was complaining about her posting pictures of herself and her guy friends. She was the one pointing out they were black and making it a race issue. At one point I think she asks "what if one was Larry Bird" indicating to me that none were white.

She is trolling him for racial reactions. It is plain as day for those not looking for a race discrimination issue.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

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?

yet another who believes exposing a bigot is worse than being one
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

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.
Then it seems the issue should not be about Donald Sterling but rather with society at large. Is that not correct?

He has every right to talk about racist comments that one of his colleagues made.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

My prediction:
  • People will scream bloody murder
  • NBA will hand down some symbolic, but meaningless, punishment
  • More people will scream bloody murder
  • Issue will fade away
  • Games will go on as usual
Nope, he will sell the majority of the ownership to the wife. Only the shrills will be screaming bloody murder.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

With all that's going on in the world this is the news of the week and so important Obama himself had to comment on it?:roll:

Great. Yes he does. But in a post directed at me, he's irrelevant.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Wonder if the wife and girlfreind set him up?

You're the one who brought him up.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Correct. One of those award they always give to "well known racists" apparently.

Well, you know, wealthy white guy, mostly black employees... obviously he's just like a slave owner.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

As in are they in cahoots with each other? I think stuff like that has happened in the past where wife & mistress conspire.

Let that be a lesson to you.

Does ayn only know their marital status? I haven't seen anything on this, and consider all comments invalidated opinion. Maybe they are separated? Maybe she is just happy having a rich hubby like he is happy having a pretty mistress?

Do you actually know the marital situation?
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I can think of about 7 billion people we should be having sympathy for over Mr. Sterling. It's not like this is the first time his bigoted views have gotten him in hot water. And even discounting his 19th-century views on race relations, he's long been regarded as the worst team owner in the NBA, and that's saying something, because the NBA has had a LOT of dirtbag owners.

Amen.
