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

The old coot didn't even say the N word in his private conversation with a bimbo. I thought this country valued privacy?

Who knows why he dislikes some blacks. Maybe black heroes like Jesse Jackson & Malcolm X displaying their anti-Semitism and getting away with it still annoys him.

This just doesn't seem like much of a story given that he's been very philanthropic with blacks, he employs lots of blacks (and pays them well), he didn't say the N word, and this was a private conversation between him & his gold digger. But it makes for good theater, I suppose.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I seriously doubt you understood my point.

So what is your point? I'm just trying to understand what you are saying.

My point is that he perceives the players in that way.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

It must be horrible for them to work for such a guy. I wonder why they didn't protest by simply not playing and telling him to keep the big paychecks he gives them.

Speaking out against bigotry is always honorable.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Speaking out against bigotry is always honorable.

But they really didn't speak out. Why are they still working for this terrible racist? It would have been more honorable to refuse to play at all. The symbolism of inside out shirts makes for great theater, but that's about it.

If he's a horrible man, then they should all pack up and go elsewhere.

Prove that the game will go on no matter how idiotic and bigoted their owner is.

Huh? Prove that the game will go on?

Are they boycotting the game to show their owner how horrible he is yet?

They are not boycotting the game. They are symbolic showing that they are against the owners statements.

Ah, the old symbolism. Well, that will certainly show him!

Of course they aren't boycotting the game. The old fella pays them all too much. They'll keep accepting his money, tainted though it may be.

Think of the outrage if they didnt play the game, they would still get paid, hell its the playoffs...

Ah, so they don't mind playing for this horrible, terrible man. Got it.

Ok? I guess most of them now despise the man they play for.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

But they sure won't mind collecting the massive paychecks he gives them.

Of course not. But still they will get paid even if they fortified.

God must be punishing the Clippers for their owner's racism

Are we going to have that same picture posted every 4 pages?
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

And if they did decide not to play..some would then accuse them of being lazy.

It was the first time I saw the picture, and I posted it.

Complain to a moderator if you don't like it.

BTW, it is a hilarious picture!
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

I haven't seen any mention of his party... If this had been a republican, it would have been all over the news.

Listening to a little about the cliven bundy news, they often tied his statements to the republican party.

Argument by Really Dumb Hypothetical is pretty weak.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

That's the funny thing, we go after him for being a racist but that's not good enough, we're supposed to go after him for being a Democrat too, lmao.

It's because we have a stereotype which pictures the old white bigot guy as a Republican or a conservative. As foolish as the reasoning is, anyhow.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

Oh I see, so in your world racism can't be subtle or inferred, you have to use certain words. :screwy

Jerry likes any thread that gives him an excuse to post the n-word.
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

"Maybe he has a good reason for hating black people" :roll:
 
Re: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Tells Girlfriend: Don't bring Black People to My G

And if they did decide not to play..some would then accuse them of being lazy.

But his money is all green when it's in their bank accounts. I'm sure they will gladly take their paychecks from him. Their outrage only goes so far.
