Donald Sterling is banned from ever attending another NBA, but this is perfectly fine? As if there was ever a doubt, you're an obvious racist.
Well you guys can drum up the outrage and see if it has any effect. At this point Jay-Z doesn't own any shares in the Nets.

Yes! Exactly!

The double standard is in itself racist.

What's wrong with him saying the N word?

He can say it without consequences. You can't.

That doesn't make him bad.
"What's wrong with him saying the N word?"
Show's a lack of class in many peoples opinion, but if thats what he needs to be relavent to his audience so be it.

"He can say it without consequences. You can't."
Sounds like a weak form of empowerment. I would feel so special if I could have a secret word that I could say and others couldn't.

Your opinion of class is meaningless.

And his empowerment comes from having a couple hundred million bucks and being married to the baddest chick on the game. Go and get your millions and a version of Beyonce (both impossible for you), and maybe you could say it too. Lol

Well, I have not noticed MSM mention anything about Jay-Z, but they can't stop talking about Sterling.

Ive seen this reported a couple weeks ago, but not by the big media. And of course, you dont hear a word from NBA players, the commissioner, Oprah, or any other loud mouth that couldnt wait to chime in on what the Clippers owner did.

Then again, JayZ and his wife love to throw around the N word, curse and call women ******* in songs and the MSM could care less. They hype both of these individuals without exposing them for who they are and calling them out.

You are a social liberal yourself, so I assume you stand with them on race issues.
