It tells me that most people are Politically Correct!
You hate who you are told (By the media) to hate and ignore the others!
For instance, no one has responded to my other post on the following ...
Seems that the folks on this forum are okay with it.
=========================
(Full Title)V. Stiviano
Mocking Black People On Tape
'They Do Stupid S*** Like Buy Rims'
Magic Johnson will not be pleased!
Quote:
How's this for irony ... V. Stiviano said a bunch of racist stuff about black people -- and TMZ Sports has the footage.
Among the lowlights ...
-- "I don't understand black people. You give them a little bit of money, they don't know what to do with it."
-- "[Black people] just act crazy ... they're like, 'Yo, I wanna put extra rims on top of my rims. And my rims are gonna turn around. I'm gonna call them spinners.'"
The footage was shot back in 2011 as part of a reality show pilot about gold diggers -- V. Stiviano was one of the girls selected to appear ... and in the clip, she rambles on and on about finding a mega-rich guy to settle down with.
The irony ... Stiviano eventually did just that -- and yes, she knew she was being recorded at the time.
Well, this is my first post in the politics section of City-Data. So, I hope this doesn't sound too controversial. However, to start off with I disagree with how the journalist presents the article. I mean there a couple comments here criticizing people for being swayed by the media when the journalist here is swaying the results of the poll and people here are reacting to it. Reading the article critically the question posed was not whether people hated Don Sterling but whether they disliked him. So a more accurate headline is, "92 percent of people surveyed dislike Donald Sterling." It's less sensational but more accurate. I mean how many people who have commented so far truly believe they like someone like Donald Sterling? If you don't like someone then you dislike them but that doesn't mean you hate them.
As for my personal opinion I dislike Donald Sterling. I justify my judgment of him based on a couple of things. On a moral ground, he was married but frequented escorts and Stiviano potentially could have been one of them. So, as a principle of whether I like someone I do judge based on how someone conducts the vows of their marriage. Again, this is all my principle and opinion and I don't impose that upon anyone else. I understand there could be people who would not mind being friends with someone who lived Sterling's lifestyle.
On an Economic and Legal ground, I dislike him for repeated problems with unfair housing practices of which he was fined.
As to what was recorded on initial and subsequent tapes, I dislike his opinions.
I mean I can site other reasons I dislike him. So, I don't see Donald Sterling as the victim of gosh anything. It seems as of writing this that the team might get sold for two billion when he bought it for twelve million. So, he's making big profit off of this scandal to be honest. I suspect without the scandal if he tried to sell the team he certainly wouldn't have gotten two billion for it.
Sterling got caught up in the racist witch hunt that is taking over this country and the media helped whip it up and hung him out to dry. They tried to do it to that Duck Hunt guy but he is a good old boy not a rich billionaire elite that no one can relate to.
The facts Sterling is an old guy that grew up in a different time in America and as a result has a different view point than most 20 somethings that are driving this country.
Sterling might have thought a certain way and probably should have kept his mouth shut before his foot could get into it but did his view of blacks ever affect how they or any other person considered a minority were treated in his organisation?
If you answer yes have you ever had a boss that was a jerk, a leach, a racist, or just some person that wronged you and shouldn't have been the boss because of their bad attitude. Guess what you probably dealt with it like most of us have at sometime in our lives. Yes what he said was wrong but to be railroaded the way he was. Most of us would have said "Wow that guy is a racist jerk" and that would be the end of it. I thought when America elected a half black guy to be president I thought that the race thing was finally done. He was the best man for the job at the time PERIOD. Instead Obama and his Democrat buddies throw the word racist around to accuse and distract from more pressing problems. I think the nation as a whole has taken a big step back when it comes to race relations. Martin Luther King would be saying "what did I fight and die for"?
Sterling has 2 marks against him that makes him the perfect target for hate. He has a problem with black people and he is filthy rich. I think by admitting to hating him people feel better about themselves.
Seriously? My reaction was here we go....now all the closet racists will be coming out in full force.
When public ostracizing/termination/resignation looses its luster to the public then they will move on to legal punishment.
That's what Rome did to keep the masses appeased and politically loyal.
Their "entertainment" became more extreme.
I see no reason why our government won't do the very same.
At least we don't torture and kill animals for public entertainment anymore.
The United States is (in fact) on an scary parallel with that of thr Roman Empire. The controllers kept the masses distracted with nonsense news and mind-numbing entertainment.
Its pretty sad that Donald is the number 1 hated person in this country. Tells me that most Americans are ignorant/stupid! I'm an American, I could care less about him and give two sh*** about what he said. Bernie Madoff on the other hand! That guy screwed so many Americans out of their future. That guy deserves to be beaten to an inch of his miserable life every day! Its sad to see that for the most part, we have either forgotten or forgiven Bernie for his destruction of lives he left in his path and are so willing to jump on that band wagon and hate what is popular; the guy who is racist. Wow!

Interesting point made here. Some old coot says something that may be unpopular, but did so in the privacy of his own home, was illegally recorded, and the "mob" comes out with the torches and pitch forks. A scumbag like Madoff screws people out of their lifesavings, and nothing.
