Yep. And did the media bat an eye over that? Nope. Imagine if a white QB said, "this is OUR position", what would happen? He would be destroyed!

i don't see what the problem is, he eighty years old, every old fart i ever knew was the same way. same bigot ideas (in private) but in public they still treated everybody the same. thought police. now you have some young bimbo that took a private recording that was made in private , to hurt the old fart.

what does she do for a living. a bimbo kim k wantebee, that runs around with every black jock she can find on sugar daddy dime. then you talk about magic j who slept with so many women he ended up with aids, another fine example.

i just don't see what the big deal is, a bigot, a bimbo and a bastard. sound like dallas

No it doesn't. Just fondly possessive.

Though a white guy invented basketball, he did it while supervising a bunch of disruptive kids
at a YMCA in MASS. Maybe they were inner city black kids in 1891,,,
Let's face it, most inner city black kids play basketball and MJ was poor.

“I grew up poor, but I didn’t have poor dreams†Magic Johnson

Johnson also believes after achieving success in the black community have a duty to
help foster an environment of success for the next generation too.

That's not racist either ^^^it's just called "giving back".

I don't recall Magic saying this is our game. What I do remember clearly is him saying he [Sterling] picked the wrong game/sport since 75% of the league is black.

My local news reported he admitted to the investigators he said it and offered no apologies. What due process is needed when you confess?

Charles Barkley said; We are a black league.

No, the NBA does not have all black players!

He did? Do you have a link for that quote? I would like to read in what context he said that in.
