Or the media realizes that 2 $1000 campaign contributions 20 years ago doesnt make him a Democrat. Just as you supporting Democrats a couple of years back doesnt make you one.
By the way, what would it matter if he was one ? arent you happy the Democrats arent defending him ????
If he is a Democrat and he has supported (d) candidates in the past that likely does make him a Democrat. What it doesn't do is make him a representative of democrats overall. That is a pretty common arguement made by both sides though.

Harrier admitted a while ago that he supported Democrats in the past, it doesnt make him a Democrat to have done so. So my point is that donating to one does not make you one.
HOWEVER, it doesnt really matter, he was bringing up a larger point that was never true, He claimed the media where trying to label him a republican and they never did.
This was a private conversation...anybody who sits up here and says that they haven't said something WORSE than Sterling, in confidence, is a flat out hypocrite.
Speak for yourself.

And this smut had no issues whatsoever spending ye ol' bigots money.
So these two deserve each other and the harlot deserves as much flack as Sterling....but will that happen? No.
At least the old, decrepit man has an excuse, like deteriorating grey matter, to fall back on.
The "harlot" isn't a billionaire who made most of that money by employing and/or exploiting the same type of people he so obviously detests. So what should happen is 1. people should refuse to go to any more of his games and 2. the league commissioner Adam Silver, with the backing of the other owners, should force him to sell the team.
LOL! The African American Conservatives (AACON) on Facebook have a pretty good litmus test:
"I don’t know which political party Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling supports.
But if msnbc doesn’t focus on him exclusively for the next 2 weeks, if Rev. Al Sharpton and the NAACP don’t call for protests and demand Chris Paul and Blake Griffin quit the team, and if he isn’t forced to sell Clippers, he’s not a Republican."
The difference between a Black(Or any other ethnicity) racist and a White racist is a White racist has absolutely no problem smiling in your face, shaking your hand, and acting as if minorities are the best thing in the world, yet calling them every name under the sun behind closed doors. Most White racists are spineless cowards as Mr. Sterling demonstrated quite nicely.
what and blacks have the balls to say it to your face? Or is it the fact that in this country only whites can be racist?

No, actually I will speak for society on that one. Even THINKING it counts for something significant. Even you cannot avoid it. The brain simply cannot ignore information...it will assimilate it. So if you feel that white people have carried out overt injustices historically....your brain has shaped your perception in one way or another. And if you have harbored even the slightest resentment, you're a human...congratulations! You have a pulse!
Now, if Sterling acted out on his own formed perceptions from a position of power...that's different. He didn't.

It SHOULD happen? Who are you to decide what "ought" to happen? Are you basing this on some value system? So how are Sterlings actions any more or less value bankrupt than hers??
EDIT: So....where on EARTH did you.come up with the absurd notion that people don't employ people they detest? Is this a phenomenon restricted to race? Omg...where are you drawing your argument from? It's inane.
Employment is VOLUNTARY USURY. Period. What one person thinks about the other is irrelevant. Have you ever heard of a "working relationship"?
