Director Spike Lee compares Donald Sterling to a slave master following the Los Angeles Clippers owner’s alleged racist comments.
“He’s got to go because he’s tainting all the other 29 partners, he’s tainting the league and he’s tainting America,” Lee told CNN Monday. “And when you hear something like that, that is a mentality of a slave master. He sees his players as slaves.”
Sterling has come under fire for audio recordings obtained by TMZ and Deadspin where he allegedly tells his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, that it bothers him that she associates herself with black people.
Lee said that during All-Star weekend in Los Angeles in 2011, Sterling told him that NBA players wouldn’t have jobs if they didn’t play basketball.

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ~ Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.) ~ Educator, Author, Civil Rights Leader
It pays. Especially if you use it to make crappy movies.
That’s exactly how the democrat billionaire sees them. Im not seeing much about him being a democrat, wonder why?
BBAAAAwaaaahhhhhh....The DEMOCRAT party is the Biggest PLANTATION HOLDER there is you idgit.
Good post. That statement pretty much sums up everything about this particular issue!

I just don’t want to live in this country anymore....I just don’t....can not stand what is going on an how my heritage is constantly belittled and no one does a damn thing about it...just keep smiling at the animals...
Has the NBA become a circus?
To be paid millions of bucks by a man who sneers at the idea of being visited by you.
The irony seethes.
Is spike Lee another govt informant like Sharpton?
He seems to always play the same race-baiting role.

You used the word “buck(s)”! That’s raccccissssssst!
Spike Lee is a racist midget who likes to go out trolling like this. Its all about getting some media attention
Any visit South Africa or Zimbabwe and other black run African nations.......And you will find some real slave masters who steal everything and treat their people like utter shyte
I am of course talking about black slave masters here...Dictators of those gawd awful hellhole nations
Looks true to me as a generalization...... They are not going to be rocket scientists
The Clipper players are in for a rude surprise if Sterling doesn’t sell and it ends up for years in litigation, as they will be hurt the most out of this fiasco. Monetarily, and draft-wise. I’m sure most of them aren’t eager to have to move somewhere else and I’m sure most of them don’t want to have to sell their homes. Instead of warm LA, they might end up in cold Chicago, lol.
Plus their salaries somewhere else might be less than what they are being paid now. Plus their wives, if married, aren’t going to like being uprooted, kids having to change schools and lose their friends. All this will happen if the NBA decides to try to punish Sterling by making the players free agents, free to leave for other teams, or making the Sterling franchise lose money and AD sponsors.
Then there is the NAACP. Donald Sterling gave lots of money to the NAACP. He won’t be doing that anymore, IMO. So they will lose lots of bucks from Sterling’s contributions. If Sterling ever did decide to sell the team, he’d make a huge profit, huge. So the only losers here will be the players, their families, and the NAACP. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know.
