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 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.

Whoa, I think you need to back up a little bit.

I think we can all acknowledge that there are racist everywhere. I don't think this is some leftist conspiracy to find a white racist though. I think this is just an instance where if you are a public figure, and you say something racist, it gets heard.

It's the difference between "Hey, my friend dave said something racist" and a well-known person in the public eye says it.

That being said, I don't think the NBA should be boycotted or anything, that's way over the top of a reaction. But I will admit that this guy seems like a terrible guy to me.

Donald Sterling, the owner of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers, told his girlfriend not to post pictures on Instagram of herself with black people and not to bring black people to his basketball games, according to an audio recording posted by TMZ.

I don't go to basketball games and I don't watch them on TV, but I know that a lot of black people play and are interested in basketball, so I am a little surprised that Mr. Sterling, whose girlfriend is half- black and half-Mexican, would say this.

It will be interesting to see what the NBA has to say about this.

I am not surprised. He is a racist. Many slave owners had sex with black women and used black peoples body and souls to accumulate wealth great wealth.

He is just a modern day version of that. I hope the team walks out on him or he gets kicked out of the NBA.

How did this information get out? I'm so sick and tired of this ****.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I believe I read that in his comments, he even stated he doesn't care if she sleep with them (referring to blacks) , just don't be public about it. So, not much of a relationship I am sure.



I kind of wonder if it wasn't so much as a racsit comment, as it was something more along the lines of you are portrayed as my GF, don't do things in public to cause a problem with that. I really am just speculating, though.

If he is having increased hormones, as someone in this thread suggested as a possibility, he may not even be able to "get it up", and the public eye-candy-on-his-arm image is all he really cares about.

you and me both maggie. its been almost daily for 6 frickin years!
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I saw a pic of his gf. She's pretty hot, and young. My first thought was that she's only with him for his money, so it's a convenient relationship for both of them. He gets the hot young gf, she gets the status of his money. Screams dysfunction regardless which angle you view it.

Younger women only date older rich men to buy there superficial Hollywood lifestyles on the old farts credit card whom they secretly despise... while they lust for men their own age. They both use each other yet they are both low life adults and possibly deserve each other. I do not see either of them as "hot" or appealing.

However ... the issue is that he is just a modern day slave owner.

The slave owners often had sex with the female black slaves and used the strength and youth of the black males to attain wealth.I know th eplayer are well paid yet I am giving you his pod on this.

I wish the NBA had the balls to kick his racist ass out of the league and the players stood strong and refused to play for him ... getting a lawyer to protect their salary.

That's far too easy of a thing to go to. I wouldn't even really go there with the sharecropper or chain gang example, when these men are not going without (even if they are being denigrated by their employer).

Why would they walk out? They want a shot at the championship for their careers. A symbolic walk-out won't achieve their goals, either for a better career or in getting the guy removed. An armband? Yeah, that would bring discussion, won't hurt their careers, and still produce the same likely result: temporary punishment, maybe pressure to leave, but iffy likelihood of that.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Well that sounds like a great thing to say when a lot or most of your (and the league's) talent and fanbase is of another race or ethnicity.

Not to mention all but 12 members of your team (not including your team's Head Coach) are all Black! Nope, not the smartest thing to say at all. But given Donald Sterling's past, this isn't surprising to those who know him.

No not at all the real conspiracy was before when all the racist stuff was not being reported daily because the racists just covered that up.:roll:
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Why is it a problem that instances of blatant racism by public officials are published in the news?

It has gotten to the point that the topic of race can no longer ever be brought up without someone criticizing it as "race baiting" or "starting a race war" or some other nonsense.

I am not sure what you mean ...

Would you prefer powerful men hide their racists views while exploiting the race they despise?

I do not have a tv and do not follow b ball yet went to a playoff game in PDX last night so I saw this story when looking at sporting news. Both he and his gf make me sick. If he chose a woman who clearly just wanted his lifestyle and he just wanted to use her then they both had their character revealed. he is a racist and she taped him while using him for his money. They deserve each other.

My guess is that, as usual, someone involved wanted it to get out so they passed on a copy of a recording.

There are plenty of things people say when they think they aren't being overheard...in the privacy of conversation one-on-one. Just think if your in-laws could hear you talk sometimes.

It is our actions in public (and our actions in private) that define who we are. Not lip service in private conversation.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Until his words go public. Then it's a completely different story.



Yeah, I don't know the guy, but from what is being posted here he sounds pretty horrible overall. Not to mention stupid, and lacking in emissions control.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

It's the NBA Playoffs, the team owner in question has a team in the playoffs, playing tomorrow. They are in one of the biggest sporting leagues in the country. Of course it will be brought up.

Maybe that's why it was brought up.

Is he the only NBA team owner that is a slave master or are all of them slave masters?

Yes his words spoke much about him. He said it and it revealed him and whomever he said it ...made a recording. He chose a woman who he knew was using him for his lifestyle and if he is dumb enough to say that he should know she might record and release and most likely will even get money from it.

He is a racist and he has bad taste in choosing his women ... he traded his wealth for a person who was using him and he knew that and she knew that. Would you expect loyalty or ethics from two people like that? They are both scum in my opinion.

There are many levels to this issue.


  • -Wealthy man buying a woman who is disgusted by him yet wants his credit card and they both treated each other with complete disrespect.
  • -Racism
  • -Stupidity

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

I think it needs pointing out that this was a private telephone conversation between Sterling and his girlfriend. No one spied on them. Apparently, she gave up the recording. So, how did the Left "find" a White racist to pounce on? If anything, his girlfriend sold him out. And to me, that's a good thing.

Listen to the recorded conversation and and read this summary of how Sterling has conducted himself in the past and then judge for yourself how ignorant this man is.
