1)I love how any time any jewish person or jewish/hispanic person says or does anything to a black person(still very rare) they all of the sudden become the FACE OF WHITE AMERICA that they love to hate. And you always have racist black people like snoop dogg calling him a "redneck" when he's jewish. Either these black racists are too dumb to know the diff between jewish and the classic type of "Redneck" white person they love to hate...or they know they can't attack Jewish people so they settle on calling him white.
2)And it's also funny how Obama ALWAYS SEEMS to find a way to comment on any of these issues where blacks are the supposed victim no matter how harmless it actually is. I don't remember him making any comments on the KNOCKOUT GAME or any other of the countless black on white random murders/group mob beatings but he always somehow finds a way to comment in all the rare instances where "whites" do something to blacks.
3)And this Sterling guy is obviously not a good person and what he said actually is offensive (as opposed to 99% of the non-stop race baiting espn, cnn, etc. does) but he did let Elgin Baylor, who is widely regarded as one of the worst GM's ever, stay on for TWENTY years and he's had a number of black coaches so his racism obviously didn't affect how he ran the team and he wasn't openly disrespecting anyone with racism as far as we know so no one would care if the girl/wife didn't sell him out.
4)And listening to rap as long as I have I can tell you I can't count on one finger the number of rappers who haven't said at least one extremely hateful thing about white people as a whole and some of the very mainstream ones do it all the time. some of them like snoop dogg have even been in the white house. But they get a pass and America worships them while we excoriate the paula deens, riley coopers, incognitos, etc.
5)any time something like this comes around many black people use it as justification for why they always trash white people, why they say that the kkk is now in suits and ties, why you shoulnt trust white people, why whites are all racist. Even if 99.999% of whites are so scared to death of saying anythng that might even be considered racial the racist black groups will still say that these whites have hate in their heart so they can continue hate white people even tho theres no actual evidence of white racism. That's why everyone goes nuts any chance they can get to make a example out of anyone like sterling the few chances they get.
6)Until the media/black politics finds a way to at least do equal coverage of black on white crime/racism (should be way more than equal coverage because it happens a lot more) I will not be heaering anything they say when it comes to issues like that.

you seem to be excessively blathering on and on for someone who doesn't care
I don't like when people act like it seriously hurts them when people call whites Jews or rednecks or something. It's not exactly a race that has gone through a lot of flack over the years, so it isn't even close to comparable to being prejudiced againt blacks. I mean, I think it's dumb to make negative comments in regards to any race, but this is apples and oranges. I think the Sterling flurry is pretty much deserved, regardless of what was said in private. It's not like it's not racist if he said it just because he didn't intend for anyone else to hear it. How can you tell someone to not be out and about with blacks? How is that defendable?
You can say what you want, but you are not protected from the general population's right to give you an earful.

So racism is ok, as long as it's directed at the right people.
This is nothing new for sports fans. Sterling has been this way for quite some time.
When I lived in SoCal from 91-94 it was well known then that he was a racist. I'm a fan of the NBA and I thought this was a well known fact within the NBA universe? Just like Jerry Buss (deceased owner of the Lakers) had a thing for young women (the younger they looked the better) was also well known in NBA circles.
Unfortunately for your perspective, OP, the NBA and the fans DO care. That's why Sterling will have to submit a groveling apology, he'll be banned for a set amount of time, he be out of a LOT of money and eventually he'll be forced to sell the team.
If he hates minorities (especially Blacks, which is odd as his girlfriend is part Black) he probably should have kept those thoughts to himself. If he had, he'd possibly get to witness his team win in the playoffs this year.Now, he probably can't even go down to their arena anymore.

Uh, no. Racism is wrong. Period. It's disgusting. Against anyone.
