This may just trump Bundy's rant. The owner of the LA Clippers was caught on tape telling his half black/half Mexican girlfriend not to bring other African-Americans to basketball games and that she shouldn't "broadcast that you're associating with black people." The guest he was referring to was Magic Johnson. Is it somewhat hypocritical for this man to obviously hate the people that make him billions?

No, it isn't hypocritical at all.

hypocrite: a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs

There's nothing hypocritical about the situation. You can employ people at your business that you don't want to socialize with. Do you think the CEO of IBM plays poker and goes to bars with the guy who cleans the bathrooms?

I mean, obviously they have some sort of "arrangement" that he doesn't want her to publicly expose by bringing her "acquaintances", not that Magic Johnson necessarily is one of such individuals.

Yeah I don't know if I'm buying this. I would have to hear the whole "tape" and know the context. Seeing that that the majority of his team is black and his Head Coach is Black. And at one point had a Black General Manager. And I'm pretty sure there are black clipper fans at the games, that he would have a problem with Black people. Because if he does, he's in the wrong business. I think he was referring to Magic Johnson, he doesn't want he's little play thing hanging around Ervin.

Its elitism... I love to help African-Americans... Don't bring them to my games... its what liberals are inside... they try to seem like they are helping you will twisting the knife in your back... when they try to help you, isn't it strange that you are stuck on where you are... Take welfare! But don't you dare leave it... if you want welfare, you have to vote for me... Is California a blue state?

This comes after a long list of incidents/lawsuits with Sterling. He is a POS.

Quote:
As J.A. Adende reported on TrueHoop, court documents revealed several more disturbing stories of Sterling’s behavior, including this one:

“While ignoring my suggestions and isolating me from decisions customarily reserved for general managers, the Clippers attempted to place the blame for the team’s failures on me,” Baylor said in the declaration. “During this same period, players Sam Cassell, Elton Brand and Corey Maggette complained to me that DONALD STERLING would bring women into the locker room after games, while the players were showering, and make comments such as, ‘Look at those beautiful black bodies.’ ”
No one in LA is shocked , here is another story

I'm a big basketball fan and a HUGE Laker fan so obviously I idolized Magic as a kid. Magic owns L.A. EVERYONE and their mom tries to get a pic with him if seen in public.

Sterling had a poor relationship with former GM Elgin Baylor, another Laker legend. Baylor sued for racial discrimination. Case got tossed for lack of evidence. Sterling has also been sued several times for not renting to Blacks and Hispanics. Believe he also was caught using a racial slur once or twice.

I just played the audio from the coversation via the TMZ website. I cannot believe that such a racist man is dating an African American/Mexican woman.
