Clipper's owner Donald Sterling in deep trouble for racist remarks

[Master]

Dani Alves handled that situation awesomely! Took the piss right out of the racist...granted it's dangerous to do that because the asshole could have poisoned it.

They are too dumb to think of that or expect that Dani would do that.

[Beanflicker]

Great job by Alves, handling that shit like a champ.

All this phoney outrage and racial witch hunt just gives power to the racists imo. If you pick up the banana and take a bite you just make the guy look like a douche.

[p4pking]

It's totally indefensible on a personal level, but being a raging bigot in private isn't a crime of course. I'd imagine this guy likes owning an NBA team all the more because of his outlook, there isn't really a conflict of interest there unfortunately. What was the context in which he was set up anyways, did his girlfriend trap him kinda thing? I've just heard bits of the phone conversation.

Sterling shouldn't have to answer for this. Anything can be said in private so if anything, somebody needs to pay for invading his privacy.

Many black NBA players are racist too.

...I don't know how to feel about this...I mean we've all said fucked up shit in private. I think calling for his job just because he has an unpopular view is a dangerous trend. I real slippery slope...oops now I've offended Asians I'm gonna go hide under my bed now

Did you see what Larry "We Play Harder For Black Coaches" Johnson had to say? I seem to recall a white guy about 2-3 years ago proposed an all-White basketball league...needless to say he was crucified for it.

Yeah, this was just the tip of the iceberg with this guy. Apparently he has been involved in housing discrimination lawsuits and has a long history of discrimination not only against blacks but various minorities. It is being reported that this guy has been a douche for awhile but it is just becoming known to a bigger audience. This guy has already made his money of the NBA so if they try to force him to sell the team it's kinda like....mehhh, he's 81 or something years old and he bought the clippers for 18 million and they are worth 500 million now. He's still winning as Charlie Sheen would say. This is going to be a polarizing issue no matter what because people all have different views on the subject but IMO the NBA f'd this up bad because they knew about this guy but the only color that matters is green. It'll be some fake outrage followed by blah blah blah but the only way he sells or does whatever the NBA wants him to do is if the people who are offended find a way to hit his pockets or the NBA's pockets or image.

[p4pking]

He's not a GM or anything as well is he? It's obviously terrible for image, but I don't imagine owners actually have anything to do with how a team is run. Who are they even accountable to, how could anyone possibly "force" him to sell his team over a personal view? The guy sounds like a right piece of shit, but he is a billionaire and owns the team. Tough.

The same guy that gave us such great comments like "Greek Homos" & "White Interlopers". You would think of all people...he would be sympathetic to being recorded without his knowledge. Damn mob rat

It's true, there are a lot of double standards.

In fact, if this was reversed, there would be no problem. PLENTY of black men and women get angry when they see or hear of another black man/woman dating outside their race. Plenty get irked when they see other black people hanging out with white people, like they are somehow betraying their race.
This kind of opinion is looked at as just having pride as a black person.

It's a shame, there are a lot of racists and idiots on each side.

This doesn't let Sterling off the hook, though. His attitude is deplorable, especially considering he's in a business where most of his talent are black, and a large number of black fans are handing over their money to him. I think it's fair to ask him to step down.

We've all said questionable things in private, made offensive jokes, ect. If he got caught saying the N-word, I don't think it would be as big a deal. It's the ATTITUDE that's the problem. This isn't a guy who got caught saying something a little politically incorrect: this is a guy who, for whatever reason, is prejudiced negatively against black people. This is LEGIT, old school racism.

Shower heads? The Cherrapunjee are probably going to think you are being racist with that sort of remark.

I agree with you the attention should now be turned away from Alves and on the idiot that threw the banana and expose the racist bigot in court. Where you will find he lives a home with his mother sniffing her panties all day.
