       This guy really is a racist
       By: trollslayer Date: April 28, 2014, 4:28 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Those of you who have known me for any length of time know I
       hate it when others throw out the race card.  However, Los
       Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling IMO is a racist after
       hearing statements he made about blacks over the weekend.  It's
       also come out that he has also settled lawsuits in the past for
       his biased behavior against blacks.  So knowing all that we know
       now, I find myself asking, why was the NAACP going to give
       Sterling a second lifetime achievement award?
       [quote]Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was scheduled
       to receive a second Lifetime Achievement Award from the National
       Association for the Advancement of Colored People at a May 15th
       banquet, but amid controversy surrounding racist comments
       reportedly made by Sterling, the NAACP has reversed the
       decision. Sterling received a Lifetime Achievement Award from
       the NAACP in 2009.
       On Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press, Interim President of the
       NAACP Lorraine Miller announced that Sterling will not be
       honored at the banquet. No one from the Los Angeles chapter of
       the NAACP has returned messages to USA TODAY Sports as of 2 p.m.
       ET Sunday, and Sterling’s name is still on the list of those
       receiving awards on their website.[/quote]

       The word racist has little meaning anymore after the liberals
       have abused it so badly.
       But yeah this guy is one.

       So Sterling has received a lifetime ban from the NBA and is
       being forced to sell the team.  I'll play devil's advocate here
       and ask why?  He's simply guilty of speaking stupidly during
       what was supposed to be a private conversation with his ex.  She
       OTOH recorded their conversation without his permission and
       released it to TMZ.  The guy is a racist.  We've known this for
       at least the past five years.  What's changed?

       From what I understood this is not his first racist incident. A
       few years ago there was a justice department investigation that
       resulted in an out of court cash settlement. Sterling somehow or
       another managed to receive a lifetime achievement award from the
       NAACP an was set to receive another, which now has been
       rescinded.(Remind you of BP about to be given an award for
       environmental friendliness just prior to he Deep Water Horizon
       disaster) Speaking of the NAACP they are already saying they are
       open to forgiveness, which oddly enough Sterling has shown no
       inclination of asking for. Is it just m or does the NAACP appear
       to have turned racism into a shakedown racket? Racist
       (cha-ching) not a racist :o Racist (cha-ching) we can forgive
       you! ::)

       think the only reason that I'm semi-ok with the ban is that he
       violated the nBA rules he signed  when he bought the team some
       20 yrs ago--what really made him all the money is his gambling
       complex in Macao--supposedly 22,000 employees and more revenue
       than the Las vegas strip---enough for him to have 2 personally
       equipped 747's--think his girlfriend<?> set him up also!

       Linda, he is a dumb racist bass-turd.  This has been common
       knowledge for years.
       To WMD's post, 2009 Sterling was fined millions of dollars for
       his racist motivations, yet the NAACP still aw fit to bestow a
       lifetime honor on him.  (funny, the "lifetime honor" has been
       revoked and he's still alive).  You got it right.  It all comes
       down to cash.
       2fat, I'm "Semi-ok" with this as well but still have a problem
       with the circumstances.  If law enforcement would have gotten
       the information the same way his ex did they would have been
       accused of entrapment and subject to legal action.  Yet nobody
       questions the motives behind the gold digger in question.

       NBA looked the other way. NAACP was going to give him his 2nd
       lifetime achievement award. But his bigoted commentary was well
       known and had been going on for a long time. That it was exposed
       to the greater public forced these groups to finally act. It
       says a lot about what motivates them both.
       What is said here pretty much calls them all out as they should
       be

       I wanted to se a more liberal spin on this discussion so i went
       to the other forum, it looks like they have blocked public
       access to what they consider their insiteful, intelligent
       discussions. I wonder what they are afraid of others seeing that
       they feel the need to hide?  :o

       Linda her recording Sterling without his consent appears to be
       illegal. Starlings bigoted views and a actions have been well
       documented.  He was even sued by the Justice Department twice
       over his discriminatory housing practices but people turned a
       blind eye as long as he was giving them cash.  His charity gave
       money to the NAACP so they were all set to give him another
       lifetime achievement award (I would like to know what they saw
       that they found him he was honorable enough to be honored for
       two lifetimes?).  This guy was enabled to carry on with his
       actions as long as his money flowed to them.  Once it stopped
       then these people decide he is objectionable.  This woman is no
       different. She was willing to suck his dick as long as she got
       paid, now she needs to find a new paycheck so she gets a
       conscience? This guy should have been exposed a long time ago,
       but the other dick suckers liked his money also, that includes
       NBA officials who looked the other way for a long time

       Exactly right!  This shows the likes of the NAACP and Rev Al to
       be exactly what they are.  Money grubbing w-h-o-r-e-s, willing
       to turn their backs on what they find distasteful as long as the
       money is flowing.  The ex is just a low.   She tolerated his
       views as well until her paycheck was cut.  Cmon, he's 81 she's
       38.  What could she possibly see in him?
