First, please allow me to qualify my remarks by saying that I myself am a 'half and half', obama look-a-like individual.
A lot of times, no matter how politically correct I try to make my thoughts come across, to some .. it just doesn't matter!
Now to my rant?
I was listening to espn this afternoon (my bad) when all of a sudden the host went on a tirade.
Of course it was all about the Donald Sterling fiasco!
Without going into all the details let me just say that after the host's complete, politically correct .. I am a white guy who is offended tirade, he went on to call on an 'expert' on civil rights and racism .. Al Sharpton!
Al Sharpton thinks that a suspension and fine is not enough for Sterling, Sharpton wants to dismantle the Clippers and put all of the players up for a draft!
As expected, Nothing about Sharptons affinity for racism!
I am wondering .. did anyone else hear this show today?
What happens if I say racist remarks about Whites?
What happens if I make racist remarks against Blacks?
I live in both worlds but find myself defending my White half much more often than my black half!
Can you be a racist if you are half and half? 8)
I believe that the world should be neutral!
You don't like blacks then that is a personal choice and there shouldn't be a 'penalty' for saying so!
Same goes if you don't like whites, hispanics, asians etc. etc.
We got Hate Crimes laws passed because people found the way an individual 'Thinks" is offensive!
I, for one am tired of the White Guilt society that liberals have created.
Live and let live!

Apparently yes, his black/Mexican girlfriend.
The guy should be suspended for this just like Marge schott was years ago. That’s it. He said what he said privately and he has the right to think whatever he wants in a free country. He needs a punishment for this coming out, mostly due to his stupidity for saying this and making himself and his business vulnerable.
Sounds like a real racist (sarcasm)
If it is him on tape and both he and the girlfriend were in California, I believe that he is the victim of the crime of wire-tapping, as California is a two-party consent state IIRC. So the leftist media which favors the exclusionary rule (by which illegally obtained evidence is inadmissible in court even if it means a dangerous criminal goes free) and which thinks Snowden is a hero for disclosing government wiretapping suddenly has no problem at all broadcasting illegally-recorded private conversations (assuming that is the case). This Sterling sounds like a bad character. Nonetheless, I don’t think he should have to defend his purely private comments regardless of their contents.
And they say "we" and "us" as if they were somehow part of the team. That always cracks me up.
Sue has the ncaa’s balls in a vice. It’s up to her and the brilliant legal team she has assembled to determine what will be left of the ncaa when they get done with them.
