Your public demands it.

Second that motion

In August 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Sterling for housing discrimination in using race as a factor in filling some of his apartment buildings. The suit charged that Sterling refused to rent to non-Koreans in the Koreatown neighborhood and to African Americans in Beverly Hills.[15] The suit alleges Sterling once said he did not like to rent to Hispanics because they "smoke, drink and just hang around the building," and that "Black tenants smell and attract vermin."[15] In November 2009, ESPN reported that Sterling agreed to pay a fine of $2.73 million to settle claims brought by the Justice Department and Davin Day of Newport Beach that he engaged in discriminatory rental practices against Hispanics, blacks, and families with children.[16] In addition, Sterling was also ordered to pay attorneys' fees and costs in that action of $4,923,554.75. In granting the attorney's fees and costs Judge Dale S. Fischer noted "Sterling's' scorched earth' litigation tactics, some of which are described by the Plaintiffs' counsel and some of which were observed by the Court. The Court has no difficulty accepting Plaintiffs' counsel's representations that the time required to be spent on this case was increased by defendant's counsel's often unacceptable, and sometimes outrageous conduct."

In February 2009, Sterling was sued by former longtime Clippers executive Elgin Baylor for employment discrimination on the basis of age and race.[17] The lawsuit alleges Sterling told Baylor that he wanted to fill his team with "poor black boys from the South and a white head coach".[15] The suit alleges that during negotiations for Danny Manning, Sterling said "I'm offering a lot of money for a poor black kid."[15][18] The suit noted those comments while alleging "the Caucasian head coach was given a four-year, $22-million contract", but Baylor's salary had "been frozen at a comparatively paltry $350,000 since 2003".[17]

On April 25, 2014, TMZ Sports released what it said is an April 9, 2014 audio recording of a conversation between Sterling and V. Stiviano.[19][20] According to TMZ, Sterling and Stiviano argued in regards to a photo Stiviano posted on Instagram in which she posed with Magic Johnson.[20] In the audio recording, Sterling allegedly tells Stiviano: "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people."[19] Clippers president Andy Roesen issued a statement the following day, indicating that his organization was unsure if it was a legitimate and unaltered recording, that the sentiments attributed to Sterling did not reflect Sterling's views, and that the woman on the recording was being sued by the Sterling family and had "told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even'" with him.[21][22] The Los Angeles chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) cancelled its plans for the following month to award Sterling for a second time with its lifetime achievement award.[23]

Wasn't a problem before, but it is now?

MOAR ON STERLING.

As usual, the liberal press has "pwned" us but Turd, as always, has the insider information that Sterling was a great guy

Reading comprehension isn't really your thing today.

I don't get compensated for reading, what are you talking about?

We can all be glad you're not putting rockets together anymore then.

Guy materially discriminates against ordinary working people in his business (housing discrimination), it's proven and he's fined, and gets a free pass from the NBA. Guy says racist things in his private life that offend a bunch of millionaires and now everybody's up in arms.

Why is your last sentence even a consideration? People are now "up in arms" because they know about it. I find it funny how people here often lament how "now all of a sudden it's a problem..." mentality. I'm a sports radio junkie and have never once heard about his actions. Now i have.

Unless your comment is against the NBA turning it's collective cheek, in which case i wonder why you'd be surprised since he's a gazillionaire.

What level of whore must you be to even sit next to that toad looking fuck?
He must be a filthy Republican TEA Partier (titter) . I hope they denounce him.

IIRC he's a registered Democrat. Could be wrong. Either way, he's a shitbird, but meh. I tend to assume that the guys who own sports teams are shitbirds unless proven otherwise. And whether or not his past shitbirdery deserved opprobrium (I think it does; he has a long history of being not only racist but sexist and generally just fucking weird (he'd fit in fine here!)), if his present shitbirdery is what made his players not want to play for him, or the other owners in the league not want to associate with him, then hey, capitalism at work.

I'm shocked that anyone would call a divorce/personal injury lawyer a shitbird.

Neither had I. Still, there was a pretty long standing pattern here that seems to be well beyond what's been unacceptable from other owners/prospective owners (Marge Schott, Rush Limbaugh, etc...). The silence from the NBA and NAACP should get some explanation.

NAACP just pulled the plug on the "lifetime humanitarian" award he was getting next month.



He did get pawned. Lots of background stuff with the young lady, lawsuits and him cutting her off.


Glad there is no secret recording going on when I'm driving (alone). The joy is yelling at all the assholes keeps me young.

According to property records, Stiviano purchased the duplex in December 2013. But Rochelle Sterling says that she allowed her husband to pay for the house, believing that her name would be on the deed along with his.
Sterling also gave Stiviano $240,000 for living expenses, according to Rochelle Sterling's lawsuit, amounting to $2 million of community property that he allegedly spent on Stiviano without his wife's knowledge.

There was also a Ferrari and a Range Rover thrown in. What level of whore? 1st degree black belt.

I was at a softball tournament all weekend, and am still reeling from getting in the bed after 2AM Monday morning. It's great when your kid is on a winning team, but sucks when the tourney goes to shit and games run behind schedule by five hours.

Don't know much about Mr. sterling, but the chimps sure seem to be ooking and eeking in full force over this one. Magic is calling for him to the lose the team, and I'm sure he will advocate for a league brokered sale. Larry Johnson and company are rallying behind the usual "dis here a black man sport" and engaged in the moronic chest thumping about black ownership of the league. Meanwhile, the world still waits for Africa to launch a ship that can harness the power of wind, so good luck with their far flung cousins here in Murika running anything.

Is the girlfriend black? She looks it. Some flavor of mud person for sure. I have to call him on his hypocrisy. It's in extremely poor taste to kick the black man under the bus, but then partake of his ratchet poontang. A nigger pussy is a nigger pussy...I don't care how much Gucci and Versace you dress it up in...you have no respect for your dick if you'd stick it in there.

Sorry...I don't have much on this subject. Consensus culture doesn't give much of a fuck over the fact that teen pregnancy rates among blacks are at all time highs, and that misguided utes in Chicongoland are gunning each other down to a soundtrack provided by Lil Wayne and company. Some curmudgeonly old cuckold takes exception to his nigger girlfriend being a little too public about her seemingly acceptable straying and then running his mouth about it...oh, it's the end of the fucking world. Rancher Bundy was right...these people led more examined and happy lives when they were picking cotton and lounging on the front porch spitting watermelon seeds.

She's black/Mexican and kept saying that to him on the phone.. basically,.. "Why are you telling me to avoid blacks, when I'm half black?"
She actually looks Asian.

Toad?


Please. He just has a little trouble with his hos.

The guy is a dickhead but LOL at all the outrage when his actions in business are far worse and he was about to get his hand kissed by the NAACP because he gave them $$$$.

It's one thing for someone to record a conversation to be used in court but for TMZ to play it well they are scumfucks too and for everyone to take what he said to a whore on the payroll as worse than the shit he has actually DONE is fucking rich.

Meanwhile Venezuela become Cuba 2.0 and the media ignores it.

By a black man.


Donald Sterling: Watch what he does, not what he says!

Blogged April 27, 2014 Charles Butler

I am tired of all the media buzz about people expressing their personal beliefs in private setting. The taped comments attributed to Donald Sterling are the latest in a long list of racist remarks made in private by citizens that happen to make some outstanding charitable contributions. Too much attention is being paid to these situations for the wrong reasons. I have a different perspective about these type of race issues and it is based on the concepts of bias, a prejudice versus discrimination, an act against a person.

I remember, in 1969, President Nixon’s Attorney General John Mitchell, telling a group of civil rights protesters, “Watch what we do, not what we say,” The result was the only enforcement of school desegration busing by an Attorney General to date. Well, for those that have watched what Mr. Sterling has done for Black community and the City of Los Angeles, his record is virtually unmatched.

With all the serious problems we are facing us as a nation, the Obamacare debacle, a lawless Obama administration, eight government scandals not reported on i.e. Benghazi, NSA, IRS, ATF, Fast and Furious, Selibus and CEO fund raising. The mainstream media is playing the race card with Obama, Holder and Sterling for ratings and to as a detraction from the real issues. After all we have been through it still comes back to the color of a person’s skin in 2014.

I was introduced to Donald Sterling in 1982, through my good friend and the President of the local San Diego Chapter of the NAACP, Curtis Moring, (a retired USMC legend, who owned an insurance agency.) At the time I was the San Diego Chapter Membership Chairman, working closely with Moring and another businessman Frank Jordan. Moring, told me that Sterling had solicited him to find local Black businesses to provide services and products to the local NBA San Diego Clippers. Moring, often stated that Sterling was a sincere and good man interested helping blacks in business and civic issues. I don’t know of any instances of Ray Kroc, owner of the Padres, or Alex Spanos, owner of the Chargers ever calling Moring or soliciting other black businesses in the area. We lost a helluva great guy, in terms of charity and community participation when he moved the Clippers to Los Angeles.

Okay, let’s fast forward to Saturday evening and I heard the tape on the Fox News channel. My initial reaction was that he seemed a little angry, condescending and bombastic, but what would you expect from an 80+ year old man dating a 20+ something, beautiful, sexy, exotic Mexican-Black woman, can anyone spell J-E-A-L-O-U-S. To call Mr. Sterling a racist because of an alleged recording of a private conversation, he had with his lovelady of Mexican and Black heritage, because she had Magic Johnson hanging on her and for posting pictures of the two of them on Instagram, is stretching it a little. He wanted her to display some discretion in public, and respect for their allegiance.

He showered his lovelady, Ms. Stiviano with expensive gifts and cars according to Mrs. Sterling. (JEALOUS) I would bet that his golfing buddies are calling him and probably teasing him pretty hard after seeing the pictures of Magic Johnson with his play thing. I think I would a little P.O.’d that my consort was hanging out with guys that are known PLAYERS. Come on people!

Seriously though, Mr. Sterling is a charitable man and was being honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Los Angeles NAACP, he has previously received awards from the chapter for his work in the community. I do not think that Sterling should have to respond to the NBA, NAACP, or his team over a private conversation, taped without his permission, to a lover that was hugged up in a picture with another man.

I find all of this talk of race and political correctness very hollow, especially coming from the NAACP, that gave support of gay rights for $20,000 contribution solicited by NAACP President Ben JEALOUS. And the black celebrities that have depicted Black Americans in a exploited the race by depicting negative images for Hollywood/record label money five decades now, shame on them. The National NAACP still has the Joel Sprigarn Award even though it is well documented by scholars that he spied on Blacks and the NAACP reporting subversive activities for the U.S. government. Why aren’t the Black celebrities getting the LAA for their financial contributions and work with Black youth? Mr. Sterling’s Clipper players are getting the leagues top salaries and the team is playing well. They even hired a Black coach, Doc Rivers, from the racist Boston Celtics organization (Boston is a very ethnic and racially polarized city). So much, for Red Auerbach and Bill Russell’s wonderful relationship.

Lastly, Mr. Sterling kept Elgin Baylor on the Clipper payroll as the V.P. of Player Operations for 22 years. On a team that had only two winning seasons his entire tenure, that doesn’t EVER happen in professional sports. Oops, almost forgot that housing lawsuit against Mr. Sterling, having had rental property and lived through residential income changing scenarios, I would agree not renting to low income people regardless of race, or color is a losing proposition for the owner. They will not take care of or respect other the property rights of others.

Other examples of race politics and political correctness gone too far:

Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton castigated Don Imus and called for firing and boycotting his show of the a few years ago. Let me shed some light on that stick up by the race baiters. Mr. Imus using the word Nappie head hoes in referring to the Rutgers women basketball players on air. Yes, it was inappropriate! Yes, he was correct about the condition of their hair! Yes, it was funny as heck! He and others referenced the Tennessee girls as cute. The analogy Jigaboos and the Wannabes, used in Spike Lee’s movie “School Daze“, it was on the big screen (Where is the outrage/criticism of Spike Lee, deplorably racist depiction of HBCU Students). Imus was trying to be funny, but his remarks were on the air, unfortunately. My friends and I had said the exact same thing a day earlier about the Rutgers women. The Rutgers women came to court looking tough and mean; thug like, tattoos, chewing gum, okay I get the image. I am scared!

For years, Don Imus and his wife opened up their hearts and wallets to Black youth in a very benevolent and charitable way through their ranch, foundation and other hands on projects. Sharpton, on the other hand spends his donors money staying in the Ritz Carlton, and Peninsula hotels and hiring limousines. I bet Sharpton is not giving much of that MSNBC paycheck to any charity, National Action Network, or Black children causes.

President Lyndon B. Johnson, is called the greatest civil rights POTUS we ever had, that is definitely not the truth. He is recorded and it is well documented he use the N-word all the time. Robert Parker, Johnson’s sometime chauffer, described in his memoir Capitol Hill in Black and White a moment when Johnson asked Parker whether he’d prefer to be referred to by his name rather than “boy,” “nigger” or “chief.” When Parker said he would, Johnson grew angry and said, “As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your goddamn name. So no matter what you are called, nigger, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a goddamn piece of furniture.”

I had noted to many law professors and scholars over the last 10 years that President Eisenhower and President Nixon, actions are unmatched. Eisenhower ask Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and 1960, both passed as watered down version of the White House bill, gutted by Senate Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, and Senator Richard Russell. Eisenhower sent the troops to Little Rock, AR, there was no Civil Rights Movement, his Solicitor General argued support for integration in the 1954 Brown v Topeka case. Ike desegregated the federal government and the city of Washington, D.C. in the first 90 days in office in 1951. Nixon, supported black business programs, and increased funding to blacks students and colleges. The list goes on and you will have to read about it in my book later this year.

We have allowed ourselves to be fool by words and slogans like “Hope and Change”, “Give Peace a Chance”, “Nothing to fear but fear itself”, the actions have been less than desired by most Americans and cost a great number of lives and taxpayer dollars.

Please people ”Watch what we do, not what we say,!

So he was a nice plantation owner?

The whole thing is a big "heh".

Re the Charles Butler article Drath posted, Butler seems to have his facts wrong. Sterling was prosecuted under the Fair Housing Act, which allows property owners to discriminate based on income, employment, and credit history. Per the LA Times, it was the largest settlement the Justice Dept. was able to get.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2 ... wsuit.html

Donald Sterling donated money for years to the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP, which honored the Clippers owner with a lifetime achievement award in 2009 and was planning to present him another in May until the controversy broke over his racially insensitive comments that went public over the weekend.

The amount Sterling has given to the L.A. NAACP branch was not revealed at a news conference Monday held by L.A. branch president Leon Jenkins.

"It's an insignificant amount of money, and we're going to return it," said Jenkins, who added the NAACP and Sterling have had a relationship for "maybe 15-20 years."

Sterling's award from the NAACP in 2009 came just before he agreed to pay a $2.765 million settlement in a case that alleged he discriminated against African Americans, Latinos and others at apartment buildings he owned in Los Angeles County.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nb ... n/8411441/
The lawsuit was filed in 2006, long before he received his award in 2009-- all for an 'insignificant amount of money?'

Meh, on the one hand he's world weary of our easily triggered collective outrage, and the rush to show everyone your good guy badge at the slightest social transgression. On the other, he agrees that racists should be tarred and feathered in a very public fashion.

Which way do you want it, Lew?
