He was up for his second NAACP lifetime achievement award before his lady friend violated his privacy.
And it was not a law or, the government that made him sell.

I know......something went very wrong.

"Right-wing hero"? So the idea is take a known racist and then just call him a right wing hero to imply that conservatives idolize a racist? Sorry, but being a registered Republican doesn't make you a right wing hero. Making such a transparent attempt at guilt by association actually weakens any point you may have.

There have been so many made up accusations of racism and discrimination lately that you really have to step back and be somewhat skeptical. That and the issue has gotten old to begin with.
But this reminds me of that old Rock Hudson( ironic, huh?) / James Dean 1950s movie " Giant". Where Rock Hudson's character tries to defend some Mexicans who are refused service in Sarge's diner. The owner and Hudson get in a fight and Hudson gets beaten up and has a sign thrown on him " We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."
Now you'd have Mexicans working in the kitchen and the oil man would be also happy to have Mexicans coming across the border. Rock Hudson's character could easily be named Bush.

I think the NBA would give me a pass.
The lawsuits brought against him were not NBA-related:

Clippers owner Donald Sterling is no stranger to race-related lawsuits*-*Los Angeles Times

Do I work for you or have I ever tried to get a job with you? Have I ever stepped foot in Texas? If the answer is "no" then you would be correct....so calm your horses, I won't be suing you for anything any time soon.
