WITCH HUNT

Race baitors are trying to insert things that were not said.

- He told his GF that there was nothing wrong with her skin color and asked why she was inferring that he thought that. He said it really hurt him that she said that.

- She asked why he hated minorities. Sterling said: "I don't have any hate on nothing"

- She talks about hate and Sterling responds with "I love everybody"

- He said he knows Magic well and he SHOULD be admired.

This conversation was about Sterling preferring his GF to not be seen with black people (I'm assuming famous ones).

Race baitors are making it sound like he said he hates all black, hates Magic and doesn't want any "darkies" to attend his games. I hope the NBA tries to punish him and Sterling sues and wins big.

Like i said it would be seen as no big deal since white straight males are not a part of the protected class . If it anyone else your in trouble.

I still feel like it is wrong for the Clippers owner to say things like that but he is 100 years old but still no excuse.

My only point is if your a white straight male your do not have any rights and can not say anything if your discriminated against.

BTW I am fine with it I will just out work you every time I have to.

Well it is senseless to argue the insensible, so let's put it this way, better to be a "race baiter" than a apologist for racist.

Well I mean he said what he said a few days ago and that's what brought us here. The parts of the conversation I'm referring to are what he said.

This is Incognito witch hunt all over again
Who are these "most people"? Because most of the people I know think the remarks are repugnant. The only reason why you're calling it grossly over exaggerated, which is false, is because it involves blacks. It's all the blacks fault right, that a stupid old man out his foot in his mouth and is getting a good flogging.

He is a bigot and more so a dumbass. May the clippers throw another game.

Then you have a very small & naive circle of association.

He had a private conversation secretly tape recorded. Definitely not foot in mouth

I do not like what Sterling said and find it very stupid. However if Sterling was black and said he hates white people and how he wish they did go to the games this would be a non story . Unless he said something about white gay people then he be in deep trouble. That is just face and you and I know NO black NBA player would come out and say a darn work and Obama would not say a word about it on TV.

Do you think the media would make just as a big deal out of this if Sterling was black? NO they would not it does not help sale papers.
