Donald Sterling up to his old tricks again, still hates black people...

[omega]

I don't think only blacks found what he said to be offensive. And it's not only this. Fact is if you are in a position of power, like a corporate CEO, etc., you are held to a certain standard of conduct. You can't accept people to accept your product when your CEO/chairman/owner/whatever is a racist scumbag.

Fact is we don't live in Nazi Germany. You don't take over someone's company when you don't like their opinion.

Or I guess in today's fascist USA, we do. This lynch mob sickens me.

[nyplayer33]

your getting paid millions millions for a game and wanna boycott..really..u dont play for the owner..u play for the fans and its ur salary. Sure the owner is an old losing his marbles guy..he should be booted out..but clippers inside out of warmup shirts..odd...since they care about the owners..how bout u reeturn the money u get paid when u suck that day

[ByeShea]

Trying to figure out who is more ignorant and uneducated here: Sterling, NBA players, or SBR posters.

Interesting. Let me help you out, pal:

Sterling was valedictorian, worked in sales at night, then aced law school, and eventually became a billionaire businessman.

NBA players say they sometimes feel like slaves to the owners.

SBR posters spend half a week's pay on Dwayne Wade jerseys and can't either a spotted 8-foot jumper or a 2-team parlay.

-

Internet is an amazing place where 2-bit clown degen gamblers in their mom's basement can mock billionaire lifelong hustlers.

[stealthyburrito]

An old wealthy white man with old world views on race relations? Color me shocked!

He'll be dead soon enough and no one will miss him except tabloid journals which are fueled by scandalous crap like this.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

so sterling's a fukking racist but why don't people make a big deal for him having a mistress?

oh i forgot, all rich people are expected to have hos on the side.

[NYSportsGuy210]

What's messed up is that an equal opportunity employer (and lover) will now probably be more receptive to racism at age 80 than he has been ever in his whole life because of the rough treatment he's getting at the hands of Snoop Dogg, Magic, et al.

And did it occur to no one that old Don is a competitive sonofabitch who considers Magic a cross-town rival rather than a racial threat?

What is the matter with some people?

I was thinking of this myself. How do we know Sterling just wasn't upset that his GF was taking a picture with the rival franchise's star player? Did he ever say he hates Magic just because Magic was black?

[No coincidences]

His ignorance speaks for itself, not only in this particular instance but in comments he's made through the years. I'm only surprised that those who follow the NBA are surprised by what he said here. This isn't the first time -- though it might be the last.

NBA players say they sometimes feel like slaves to the owners.

NBA players should keep their fvcking mouths shut. They make millions of dollars to play a game, yet are the first to play the "victim" card when some old, washed-up kook is baited into saying something ignorant (again). Any comment about feeling like "slaves" is a blatant and direct disrespect or their ancestors, or even to their parents and grandparents who went through real shit, not this blown out of proportion bullshit where LeBron and other fake superstars suddenly take a stand.

SBR posters spend half a week's pay on Dwayne Wade jerseys and can't either a spotted 8-foot jumper or a 2-team parlay.

Give them a rope on a topic and they'll collectively hang themselves every time.

Dude you are the stupidest most hypocritical poster on SBR. You go broke 2-3 times a year sports betting yet still feel the need to chime on a sports betting website like you know ANYTHING. Do the world a favor and go play in traffic already.

Actually, you would definitely win the stupidest poster in SBR. No question. Landslide.

Also....I heard Sterling considers Persians even lower than the black man. Thoughts?

ROFL I've been watching your fraudelant @ss post for 5 years now. Trust me there isn't anything about you worth saying that I haven't already been saying about already....bottom line you're a Monday morning wanna-be sharp who always loses in the end. Period.

[The Giant]

I can't believe how pussified this country is becoming.

Sometimes I hang out on a Clippers fan site, and there are people saying how "proud they are" of how the team performed today.

Uhhhh....you guys got skunked, and you're proud? Proud of your millionaires losing by over 20 points?

I just don't get it.

Speaking of overatted SBR @sskissers who know nothing about sports yet continually post on SBR.....you sir are the poster child. And you're white trash, Bible believing, wanna be masculine @ss still hate people different than you.....go over to the Middle east and say what you want to ACTUAL PERSIANS instead of me and see where you end up e-tough guy.

[stealthyburrito]

Its whatever now. They have the perfect excuse to fall back on if they lose this series. No simpleton clippers fan will think twice about how they are outmatched on the court by the warriors.

D2,

You have been very active in this thread and are obviously very offended my Dons statements and I don't blame you one bit. That is your right and there are some valid reasons. I of course am extremely active in this thread because I have been friends of the family and a clippers season ticket holder for decades. I would really like to know what you think about these seemingly racist comments made by prominent Americans . Please let me know if any of these comments were not racist . I really hope you are willing to respond . I assume you hate racism of all kinds not just expressed by the Don sterlings of the world.

let me know which ones don't offend you...

1) "(Obama’s) a nice person, he’s very articulate this is what’s been used against him, but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." -- Dan Rather


2) “White folks was in the caves while we [blacks] was building empires … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Al Sharpton


3) "‘Hymies.’ ‘Hymietown.’" -- Jesse Jackson’s description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.


4) "A few years ago, (Barack Obama) would have been getting us coffee." -- Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy


5) "The Israeli puppeteer travels to Washington and meets with the puppet in the White House. He then goes down Pennsylvania Avenue and meets with the puppets in Congress. The Israeli leader then 'brings back millions of dollars' in aid to Israel." -- Ralph Nader


6) "(Harry Reid) was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." -- Harry Reid's comments reported by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann


7) "I do not think it is an exaggeration at all to say to my friend from West Virginia [Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klan recruiter] that he would have been a great senator at any moment. . . . He would have been right during the great conflict of civil war in this nation." -- Former Democratic Senator Christopher Dodd (D.,Conn.)


8) “Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.” -- Mary Frances Berry, former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights


9) "Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness." -- Mary Frances Berry, former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights


10) “Well, because the Arabs who were involved in 9/11 cooperated with the Zionists, actually. It was a cooperation. They gave them the perfect excuse to denounce all Arabs. It’s a racist sort of thing, really racist – you know, picking out these 19 or 20 terrorists – they were terrorists – and saying all the Arabs are like them.” — Former Democratic Senator James Abourezk on Hizbullah TV


11) "Let me see one of you adopt one of those ugly black babies." -- Abortionist Ashutosh Ron Virmani


12) “There’s no great, white bigot; there’s just about 200 million little white bigots out there.” -- USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux


13) "Them Jews aren’t going to let (Obama) talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. …They will not let him talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.” -- Jeremiah Wright


14) "There’s white racist DNA running through the synapses of his or her brain tissue. They will kill their own kind, defend the enemies of their kind or anyone who is perceived to be the enemy of the milky white way of life." -- Jeremiah Wright


15) "The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.” -- Louis Farrakhan


16) “White people shouldn’t be allowed to vote. It’s for the good of the country and for those who’re bitter for a reason and armed because they’re scared.” -- Left-wing journalist Jonathan Valania


17) "(Joseph Lowery) said that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. ...'Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was.’" -- The Daily Mail quotes Joseph Lowery, who gave the benediction at President Obama’s inauguration


18) "We are owned by propagandists against the Arabs. There’s no question about that. Congress, the White House, and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists. No question in my opinion. They put their money where their mouth is…We’re being pushed into a wrong direction in every way." -- Helen Thomas


19) “You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.” -- Joe Biden


20) “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” -- Joe Biden


21) "I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street." -- Spike Lee


22) “I want to go up to the closest white person and say: ‘You can’t understand this, it’s a black thing’ and then slap him, just for my mental health.” — New York City Councilman, Charles Barron


23) "We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops. They ought to go." -- Marion Barry


24) “The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person…” -- Barack Obama


25) “That’s just how white folks will do you. It wasn’t merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn’t know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn.” -- Barack Obama

Again, it speaks to the product as a whole. The NBA is a goddam joke, from the owners, to the players, to the fans. I've been watching the league for over three decades, but barely pay attention anymore.

[Thor4140]

Who gives a fuk what he said worry about your own lives

Whites never make a big deal out of these things but Blacks do

It's just an excuse that's why they like to cry racism

If a black owner said this nobody would care

The thought that u don't understand why a segment of the country has problems with this is why this shit is still around. Sad.

[James D]

The though that u don't understand why a segment of the country has problems with this is why this shit is still around. Sad.

I don't disagree people have every right to be upset. I disagree that people are very selective in their outrage depending on who is saying some outrageous. I understand I can't say the N word but minorities can. Doesn't make sense to me but I can live with that, it doesn't effect my life in anyway. However when some people can say or do racist or criminal things and no one bats an eye but others say racist things and even the president finds time to chime in and denounce them I am totally confused.

Can an we have something that even resembles one set of rules? Or is there a "sterling standard " for some and no standards for others?

[Optional]

Shame of ones own entrenched racism sure brings people to make some ridiculous arguments eh!

[No coincidences]

This year's playoffs have been the best in years.

The playoffs are almost always entertaining -- but that's akin to saying a 12-11 baseball game with horrible pitching and errors everywhere is "entertaining." Doesn't change the fact that the regular seasons have become a joke, (actual -- not paid) attendance is way down, guaranteed money has ruined players' attitudes, and the product is very watered down as a whole now vs. the generation before.

Care to elaborate ? While you are at it please point out of those 25 statements you feel is not racist and offensive? I am assuming you won't.

[No coincidences]

I can agree with most of this.

There are too many teams and too many games. Period. If the NBA truly wants to be recognized as an elite product again, it should address both -- because the guaranteed money ship has sailed, and will weigh the league down from now until the league no longer exists. You will just have to wait until the postseason to see the "best" these players have to offer from now on. It is what it is.

[The Kraken]

Neither side willing to budge. This country is more racially divided than ever. Whites tired of supporting blacks via welfare. Blacks still pissed about slavery. Mexicans just wanting to mow in peace. Crazy ass times

Which word didn't you understand that needs elaboration?

I said some arguments were ridiculous, not racist. So maybe just re-read the simple sentence and it will make sense to you.

But yes your blind crusade to prove someone who said those words is not a racist is what i meant by ridiculous.

which if any of the 25 statements above do you not find racist or offensive ?
