He may need to have more fear of other white people, if he truly paid attention to the reality and nature of crimes white people create.
If anything he should be worried about some white person coming in and shooting up a bunch of people or plotting to blow up a bunch of innocent people in his stadium. Because these are crimes generally associated and committed by white people.
Ya think we can stay on topic?

Yes, you may.
You may use any word you like. And you may sue anyone who whups up on you for doing so.

You may not slap anyone, anywhere. If you do you can be arrested and/or sued.

Rights.
Wisdom.
Sometimes they collide.

If you think what he said on the phone was bad, imagine what him and his rich buddies say in the lodges or on the golf courses in Beverly Hills.

Well if a black owner of an NBA team lets say a black guy owned a NBA team said Her hates white people and wish they would die and does not want them going to games. No one would care and every one would laugh it off . Also seeing how 70% of the NBA is black there would not come out and say what he said was wrong and disagrees with the statement the black NBA ownaer said.

It is the same thing if Zimmerman was black and trayvon martin was white . Most black people would be on Zimmerman side . Would the Miami Heat wear hoodies if trayvon martin was white? I think no way in HELL .

It's pretty ineffective blackmail when you've killed the hostage.

His girlfriend strikes me as a pretty stupid "woman who trades her sexual favors for economic benefit." It's pretty clear she's not even getting a kiss herself.

Everybody <waving a hand> in that whole general area is screwed up.

Sound more like wishful thinking than anything approaching reality.

"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people," Sterling also says. "Do you have to?"

Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My Games ... Including Magic Johnson | TMZ.com

Maybe I should start a sticky thread entitled, "Today's Cranky Old White Guy."
In other words, here is a rich old married guy who is telling his play for pay girlfriend that he doesn't want anyone to know that his girlfriend is unfaithful to him.

Not racist but stupid.

That is ridiculous! Of course there would be major fallout if that happened. You're delusional if you really believe it would be "laughed off".
