A FEW thoughts on the Donald Sterling scandal....
....My sympathy for Sterling is nonexistent. His racist remarks are odious, and they couldn’t have come as a shock to anyone who has followed his career. Yet the most alarming part of this story has less to do with basketball or the racial prejudices of an 80-year-old plutocrat than with what it says about the rapidly disappearing presumption that things we say in our personal lives will stay personal.

until the Messiah is crucified, soon perhaps, the hyper sensitivity will pervade our society.
The hyper sensitivity of the upper level black subculture is feeling it’s oats
Oh, shut up! He's the one that wanted everything taped in the first place! This spin takes a huge backseat to what Sterling is!
You are 100% correct!
Like it or not, “PC” rules America now.
I don’t disagree with what you say; my point is that, in essence, private conversations ought to be kept private as long as a crime isn’t being committed.
This was a public shakedown of an old man, that is as plain as the nose on Barbra Streisand’s face. And whatever excuse is used for the shakedown (in this case racism) it is wrong.
Look for all this to land up in a court of law.
It will land up in court.
Not wanting your mistress to show up in public with black boyfriends, especially a sex pervert with AIDS, is not surprising. What is surprising is that he let her show up at all.
If I had been paying for her Maserati, she would be sitting at home in a sexy nightgown, waiting for a booty call if I didn’t happen to be available to go to the game.
So can we now expect the speech police to be checking out everyone’s facebook posts?
I dare say, there will be a LOT of hateful speech posted on the pages of facebook, from ALL colours. I have heard some rants from blacks about whites that would curl your hair.
Not really, it will not happen.
My prediction is that it will land up in a court, as in a court of LAW.
I listened to that dialogue between Sterling and his bimbo, it was a set up all the way, said bimbo had one purpose by asking those leading questions and that was to destroy Sterling. Why? I don’t know - $$$$ from somewhere, to be sure.
In a truly free country, one could be as racist as one wanted to be. I don’t see any of his millionaire players threatening to quit.
You're the worst kind of racist.....your racism is sooooooo pervasive, you subliminally reject chocolate because of its color. Well I have news for you.....vanilla beans are BLACK.......think about THAT the next time you try and enjoy that bowl of 'familiar' ice cream.
J/k
He knew he was being recorded. She was his Historian and always recorded his thoughts because he forgot them. Sterling is a moron.
That being said, his Girlfriend is nothing more than a bitter whore acting like a John who stiffed her on a trick. She even is accused of ripping him off of 2 million dollars so she isn’t Snow White either.
All parties in this are scum.
What ever happened to “Actions speak louder than words”? Going by ACTIONS this guy is being feted by the NAACP etc...
Well there ya go.....vanilla beans are BLACK.......
So I guess the content trumps the color after all!
Sterling was ugly. Yes but.. Oprah Winfrey (the apparent good racism) is deadly. She didn't just say, "Don't bring 'em to my show," she said:
"There are still generations of older people who were born and breed and marinated in that prejudice and racism and they just have to die," she added." [She's not talking about the victims of racism!]
"We agree!" applauded the members of the nation's Knockout Game Teams, et al.
Which raises a question about suing Winfrey, et al using the doctrine of vicarious liability. It's been used to blame at least one white supremacist group for actions of people who had only heard the group's hate speech.
Ah! 1984!
BIG BROTHER is watching you and listening to everything you think or say.
How could Orwell be so exact in his description of America back in the 40’s?
Well, it’s here and it’s only going to get worse as time goes on.
