I thought the endless Bundy threads might have temporarily satisfied the Left's insatiable quest to play "FIND A WHITE RACIST!" Apparently not.
Important to keep in mind that there are just as many racists of every nationality in the United States and around the world.
Donald Sterling, the owner of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers, told his girlfriend not to post pictures on Instagram of herself with black people and not to bring black people to his basketball games, according to an audio recording posted by TMZ.

I don't go to basketball games and I don't watch them on TV, but I know that a lot of black people play and are interested in basketball, so I am a little surprised that Mr. Sterling, whose girlfriend is half- black and half-Mexican, would say this.
It will be interesting to see what the NBA has to say about this.

I believe I read that in his comments, he even stated he doesn't care if she sleep with them (referring to blacks) , just don't be public about it. So, not much of a relationship I am sure.
I kind of wonder if it wasn't so much as a racsit comment, as it was something more along the lines of you are portrayed as my GF, don't do things in public to cause a problem with that. I really am just speculating, though.
I honestly could not care less.
How did this information get out? I'm so sick and tired of this ****.
I saw a pic of his gf. She's pretty hot, and young. My first thought was that she's only with him for his money, so it's a convenient relationship for both of them. He gets the hot young gf, she gets the status of his money. Screams dysfunction regardless which angle you view it.

This is between him and his girlfriend, far as I'm concerned. :shrug:
I am not surprised. He is a racist. Many slave owners had sex with black women and used black peoples body and souls to accumulate wealth great wealth.
He is just a modern day version of that. I hope the team walks out on him or he gets kicked out of the NBA.
Well that sounds like a great thing to say when a lot or most of your (and the league's) talent and fanbase is of another race or ethnicity.
Whoa, I think you need to back up a little bit.
I think we can all acknowledge that there are racist everywhere. I don't think this is some leftist conspiracy to find a white racist though. I think this is just an instance where if you are a public figure, and you say something racist, it gets heard.
It's the difference between "Hey, my friend dave said something racist" and a well-known person in the public eye says it.
That being said, I don't think the NBA should be boycotted or anything, that's way over the top of a reaction. But I will admit that this guy seems like a terrible guy to me.
you and me both maggie. its been almost daily for 6 frickin years!
How did this information get out? I'm so sick and tired of this ****.

I am not sure what you mean ...
Would you prefer powerful men hide their racists views while exploiting the race they despise?
I do not have a tv and do not follow b ball yet went to a playoff game in PDX last night so I saw this story when looking at sporting news. Both he and his gf make me sick. If he chose a woman who clearly just wanted his lifestyle and he just wanted to use her then they both had their character revealed. he is a racist and she taped him while using him for his money. They deserve each other.
Until his words go public. Then it's a completely different story.
It's the NBA Playoffs, the team owner in question has a team in the playoffs, playing tomorrow. They are in one of the biggest sporting leagues in the country. Of course it will be brought up.
No not at all the real conspiracy was before when all the racist stuff was not being reported daily because the racists just covered that up.:roll:

There are plenty of things people say when they think they aren't being overheard...in the privacy of conversation one-on-one. Just think if your in-laws could hear you talk sometimes.
It is our actions in public (and our actions in private) that define who we are. Not lip service in private conversation.
