-The United Negro College Fund -The Latino group Para Los Ninos -The Union Rescue Mission. -The Black Business Association in L.A. -Nuevo Amancer Latino Children's Services. -The Museum of Tolerance. -Los Angles Museum of Holocaust.

Does $5K Buy an NAACP "Lifetime Achievement" Award ?
No but donating hundreds of thousands to left wing groups helps a lot.

I am shocked Sterling has donated to so many left wing groups. I thought he would be a big supporter of the NRA or the Tea Party..

Generally speaking, leftwing donations are better for business than conservative donations. It’s the corruption payback factor. But, you can’t insult the favored groups too publicly—your donations might not help.

All those organizations should return the money.

I guess you’re also to give them free and unencumbered access to your “girlfriend”.

Of course. Think of all the political favors and paybacks you can get through government.

THey will…

That is, they will say they did and because there is no media, no one will report that lie.

Just like the Clintons and every other dem liar. been there, seen that time after time

I think this all was to leverage a sweet buy of an NBA team that was worth close to 1 Bil bucks from a senile old man with 1950's view of race relations ...
Everyone that came into contact with this guy knew his bigotry, all it took was a willing girlfriend and a guy with a big bank roll known for being a black hole for anything sports related. (Did I say Black Hole ???. does that make me a raceist ??)
Look for the new owner to get a bargain basement deal .... (did I say Michael Jordan ..... nope never did)

I am not taking up for the guy.

I have no use for his supposed remarks, none for basket ball or any of the other major sports.

But does it not seem reasonable that a person who has donated so much to so many minorities, disadvantaged and oppressed should have the opportunity to defend himself before he is “executed”?

If a guy really feels that way about a group of people, it is odd that he would donate so much money.

I suspect there is more to this story than has been told.

Again, not defending him, but we have no use for people who do not put their money where there mouth is.

In his case, we have the very odd situation of a man not putting his mouth where he put his money.

Very odd.

Another interesting point:

We take years to execute a man for the most gruesome murder, yet we “execute” this guy on the third day.

Wonder how he treaded his team members. They must have heard stories about him and must have had some interaction with him.

I can’t imagine a black man playing for him if he talked about them or to them the way he talked to his ex.

Will all those black players return the multi-million dollars salaries this terrible racist white dude pays them to play basketball?

That was shake down money. Rich white libs are guilt tripped into donating by Sharpton and Jackson and other race pimps.

Sterling gives them $$$$. They overlook his racism.

I don’t like what I’ve heard about this guy, but I hope he sues the hell out of the NBA and wins. Next people will be going to jail for what they say in private conversations.

There will be a lot of civil law suites coming up. Sharks are smelling blood in the water.

That’s because Sharpton, Jackson et al are nothing but prostitutes

Don’t care. This whole thing is a trumped-up non story.

Again, not defending him....

I have a standing offer to defend him for only $2000 an hour. I'm waiting for his call.

If Magic Johnson tries to buy the team, then it looks like the girlfriend set him up.

If there is evidence that he was about to dump his black mistress, then the “racist audio” might have been a set up so she could get money from the press, interviews, etc.
