If someone says "don't bring African-Americans to my games", what else am I going to think other than racism? He didn't have to used the N word. There are ways of being bigoted without using the N word.
Now, I will say this. I've been quiet about the Don Sterling situation until now. I don't really care what happens at this point. I don't watch basketball. However, what does get to me is that there are those coming to his defense. That bothers me.
Same thing with Paula Deen. I never gave any mind to her stuff. When the whole Paula Deen scandal broke out, I thought "whatever". However, what got me was when I went on facebook, and found some people coming to her defense. And this was around the same time as the George Zimmerman trial, so this was really tense.
He was certainly honest about his remarks. Some people don't really know what racism is and therefore are not aware of their demented outlook. But whether private or common knowledge, what you say here does not excuse nor legitimize what Sterling said, since he got busted out into the public. His feelings reveal not only racism but like you, he doesn't get that what he practices is exploitation. Nothing new there. Some Africans also sold their brethren into slavery. A terrible thing indeed. But that didn't make it ok for Europeans to do the same.
Everybody knew how he felt and the deal he had with the Hooker, it wasn't a secret it was just used to try to take his team, I really don't care but unlike you I see the truth behind it.
Some times when people are asked if they are in a relationship they respond with " it's complicated ." This relationship has to be the epitome of complicated. He's married, I'm his girlfriend. He's a racist, I'm biracial. He loves me, but says I can sleep with other guys. I work for him, but I'm going to get him fired. I'm young and sexy ,he's a fat old pig.
I'll I'm doing is pointing out the contract that exists between the NBA and Donald Sterling. They wrote and signed it - not me.
How did Sterling violate his contract with the NBA?
This will be the center of any lawsuit that Sterling brings against the NBA - that no contract violation took place.
He was swept aside due to the emotional response of and character assassination perpetuated by the court of public opinion.
