I wouldn't even criticize his remarks. People have different opinions about lots of things. Forcing everyone to like a particular thing is just tyranny. I want freedom. And that means if someone dislikes something (ex. Jazz, Modern Art, sushi, whatever) then it's no big deal.

Sterling has his own preferences.

I don't care. At all.

Same here. I don’t care. At all.
I prefer vanilla ice cream, not chocolate. Am I a bigot?

I just listened to the conversation to see what all the hoopla was about. I was expecting vile and degrading remarks about blacks, after hearing what the punishment was for this guy.

Unless I was listening to something else, I thought the old man was more concerned about the image it created when his way-too-young “girlfriend” was cavorting with very fit, physical younger-than-him black men.

Let’s be blunt - I am over sixty and when I was growing up, when you saw a white woman with a black man, the rumor was (at least back then) that she was in it because the sex was better. Sorry, but that’s what was said.

Unless he has other issues in his past as being racist, he didn’t seem to personally have any hate for blacks, at least by what I listened to.

In any case, it was a private conversation, or so he thought. He really didn’t sound that hateful. Just old, tired, and not politically correct.

Like it or not, “PC” rules America now.

I like that this is from the Boston Globe. We might be reaching the point where the far left and the far right can put aside differences for awhile and fight the worst enemy....the ruling class and the media thought police.

I want freedom. And that means if someone dislikes something, then it's no big deal

There's so much more clarity when people have freedom of speech and thought. Without them, we lose everything. The issue that he was taped in his own home AND the media played that probably illegal disclosure (who knows what the courts would say?) is beginning to get some attention.

Meanwhile, I've decided to be outraged today....about babies killed through abortion, about US warmongering, arming the badguys and coverups, about the number of murders in Chicago and other cities on a regular basis, about veterans who die homeless in the streets,......
