KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- President Barack Obama on Sunday described comments reportedly made by the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers "incredibly offensive racist statements," before casting them as part of a continuing legacy of slavery and segregation that Americans must vigilantly fight.

Set up and Distraction?

Donald Sterling may have been set up by his girlfriend. Probably he was. But I can guarantee you this chump Mr. Sterling has said all kinds of crazy racist stuff and that prompted his half black girlfriend to set him up. After all, Mr. Sterling is getting rich off the efforts of his black coach and black players.

Mr. Sterling is a jerk and I can’t imagine defending him in any way.

I still am not clear on what he allegedly said. Sounds like his wife was out hanging out with AAs because they were AAs. Isn’t that sort of reverse racism? This sounds more like what I call a testosterone moment than racism. That word is so overused.

Sorry to disappoint, but this is about a foolish old rich man and a foolish young beautiful woman, in an illicit relationship that went wrong.

When is Obama going to release his private conversations so we can judge him.
