The politically correct bleeding hearts have it the way they want it in this country regarding language ... We must always talk positive about everybody (except whites and Christians, of course). So why, in general, is America so crass, crude and violent? What has curtailing speech done to improve things?

I guess I see now he didn't use the N word. It was a snip of conversation between two people who had a relationship and she basically set him up. I guess he can spend his billions on someone else.

It's all very nauseating especially in light of Shaq making fun of handicapped, Vic slaughtering animals for fun and profit, and Magic being an adulterer with thousands of women, getting AIDS and then not having it anymore. And if a black guy told his white ho not to bring any more white guys to his parties would anyone be surprised, much less shocked and enraged?

Can you say witch hunt?

Your children are far more mature about race relations than he could ever hope to be. If it helps influence even one person in the neighborhood or anywhere else though, it is a great thing! Thanks for sharing..what a positive and refreshing outlook!
Yep. I can't change the world but I can start with my own family. That's how my mother raised me. And I'm thankful for it.

I'll answer since they wont.

White people buy more rap music and rap gear and rap products then any other group of people.

White people own the companies that manufacture and distribute these products.

So Job Growth, Gas prices,decline in our privacy, Education, collapse of the Dollar and you're worried about the knocK out game
I think we're done here!

I find it fascinating that there are people who are offended by the idea of speaking nicely about others. Says a lot about a person when they complain about being PC. Poor things.

Although the conversation between the girlfriend and Sterling, did indicate he was a racist, my problem with the entire fiasco is that this was a private conversation between two people. It is my understanding that we have freedom of speech, especially in a personal conversation. I don't approve of his statement, but question how legal and otherwise sanctions be taken against a private conversation.

The part of the conversation that really threw me was Sterling told his girlfriend she could sleep and whatnot with blacks, just don't bring them to the game. Huh?

Because she was his."Chocolate Hunny Bunny"
See in the times of slavery,it was ok for the plantation master to go down to the Slave quarters and pick him out,"Chocolate Hunny Bunny" The wife always knew about this, b!&CH about this, but in the end accepted this because her life,besides this crap, was pretty damn good!
Also For the last time, Donald Sterlings Track record of racist statements and being a crappy owner is the reason why this is happening to him not this one event
This was a long time coming Donald, and this event just unlocked the trigger lock!

Yes!!! Personally I think Sterlings mindset is living 100 years ago but this is over the top when you say something in private, some sleazy azz hooker girlfriend tapes and sells it and you're going to be banned.
I thought you needed permission to tape a private conversation??
