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

I thought the endless Bundy threads might have temporarily satisfied the Left's insatiable quest to play "FIND A WHITE RACIST!" Apparently not.

Important to keep in mind that there are just as many racists of every nationality in the United States and around the world.

I'm just glad the guy is from California and not South Carolina...lol!

Supposedly, her attorney isn't wanting to release any more audios recorded by his GF.

I wonder if Hugh Hefner is looking for someone on the side or if he's experiencing the joys of monogamy now that he's married.

Wasn't that a settlement where it was cheap[er for him to settle than pay lawyers for a long drawn out suit? In cases like these, he wold have never recovered lawyer fees and time if he won. Yep. It never even made it to court. The courts ruled unanimous not to take the cases. He claimed he wasn't being paid enough, but look at how much better the Clippers did after he left. Looks like he felt like pay should be for attendance rather than by performance. I disagree. Did you listen to the whole tape, where she is race baiting him? Is there any actual evidence of this, or is it another case where it is cheaper to settle? Or... Could it be that rich people are often the targets of the judicial gambling game, where plaintiffs come up with stories to be awarded settlements. It doesn't pay to make up stories against people who don't have money to settle with, right? Being affluent is a curse as well you know.

No idea about why Sterling settled in the apt lawsuit, i'm not defending the guy, but don't see how Erod can claim 'everyone' knows Sterling is a racist, sexist smuck.

According to the LA Times, march 30, 2011 a 9 person jury voted no to all of Baylor's claims so it appears to have gone to court as a hostile environment deal.

I never said the mistress baited anyone, perhaps you mean a different poster? And with that I never claimed he actually wanted no blacks in his building, just if Erod wants to claim that as fact odd Sterling wanted a black mistress.

As far as the rich being targets- seems a bit far fetched in this case, Sterling's wife started the suing business first, not the mistress, and if the voice on the tape is Sterling then he doesn't sound like a victim but a rather arrogant snot.

Coming from the person who called me "passive aggressive".

Have a nice day.

So he's a well known racist, and yet the NAACP said up until yesterday that he's not a racist. Interesting contradiction of the facts (their contradiction). Do they always give lifetime achievement awards to well known racists?

No, but they give them to people who donate large sums of money for PR purposes.

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

A thing that's interesting about this guy is it's a very old plantation style racism.

He has a mixed mistress. The guy has tons of "black friends" through the league and the NBA. Ultimately though he sees them as second class citizens. Even his language about them is very patronizing. He gives his players "cars, houses..." etc while in reality he makes millions off of his players abilities.

Regarding the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award the NAACP gave him (yes, this would have been his second from them):

“He has a unique history of giving to the children of L.A.,” revealing that the owner donates anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 tickets a game to youth groups for nearly every Clippers home game.

Noting that the NAACP had made plans to honor Sterling before Baylor filed suit, Jenkins says, “We can’t speak to the allegations, but what we do know is that for the most part [Sterling] has been very, very kind to the minority youth community.”



NAACP explains why it is honoring Clippers owner Donald Sterling - Los Angeles Times

So they give out awards that are bought by 2000-3000 basketball tickets.

Sounds like he uses people for personal gain. The part I can't get over is that he is married, and has a girlfriend. When my spouse and I first heard about this, we both had WTF moments. I wondered how he was able to work a girlfriend into his life, being he's such a busy wealthy man and all that.

When I hear stories like this all I can think is how wealthy people are bizarre and live on a completely different plane of existence than the rest of us. I guess if you have enough money to throw around you set your own rules.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I was listening to radio in LA today, regarding Sterling's gifts to charity, everyone knows about it, because he frequently takes out large ads in the papers to let everyone know. Most likely a tax dodge, he can give all he wants, but evidently, it didn't change his heart.

In my amazement, I was wondering how he manages a BB team, has time with the wife and has time to be with a GF, and then gives money to different organizations.

Some recent celebrities who've fallen on the hatchet had their lives just about completely ruined over typical rants. I'm not so sure that money can buy happiness when these creatures make the gaffes that became public.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

The guy is obviously racist, but so are most of the people criticizing him. Hell, the way racism is defined today, I'd be considered a racist as well since I neglected to vote for Obama.

It's always fascinating to see the racist comments that get overlooked when the subject is a black individual. In response to the Donald Sterling incident, Charles Barkley said "....We can't have an NBA owner discriminating against a league — we're a black league." Maybe so, but what do you think would happen to someone like Wayne Gretzky if he theoretically made a comment stating that the NHL is a white league. Statistically, that statement would be more far more accurate than Barkley's claim. But you can be sure that Gretzky would be labeled a racist and expected to attend racial sensitivity classes.

We live in a world that black people are typically excused from almost all racist comments...whether they are in public or private. However, if you're white (and double whammy if you're rich too)....you are held responsible for things you say in private if someone records it.
