Don Sterling, racist, billionaire, Democrat.

[brenthutch 444]

Racist billionaire Donald Sterling is also an Obama donor and a NAACP award recipient. And I thought the democrats were were the enlightened ones.

Well, he's also a registered Republican, so I'd say that it's a little tough to paint him as being particularly attached to either party. But that's not going to stop people on either side from trying.

Well, obviously he's a pig, no matter how he's registered, and no matter how he tries to decontaminate himself with selective philanthropy.

But in the interest of accuracy, he's a registered Republican. Look it up.

Not remotely the entire story on this guy, but, you know, whatever.

(I have not read your post but, just to comment)
Racism knows no party
But one always seems to claim the high ground when the topic comes up
Racism knows no gender or culture
There will always be some biases people carry no matter who or where they are
This fact just cannot changed
But biases are not necessarily evil or bad
And in the end if these biases are bad or not will be finally judged on how someone acts on those biases
That said
Labeling some who really are not racist does no one any good. It diminishes the concept by overwhelming everyone with it. Desensitizes everyone, if you will
But it is used to try and stop debate. THIS is the tactic I am really addressing with my comments!

Anyway
I have been called a racist so many times on this sight it is not even searchable anymore I might guess

I will get to your link soon
Just thought I would throw this out

I would also say based on his recent outburst.. that his brown sugar dating options might just have become a little bit more limited.

But yours seem to have opened up quite nicely. Jungle fever. Catch it.

[jimmytavino 16]

researched a little to find that Mr. Sterling was born on April 26th 1934... ( wik )

and so did This issue BREAK wide open On the weekend of his 80th Birthday ?????

Is anyone really surprised that a white guy who grew up in the 40s and 50s and has run in Big money and high society circles,,,, ever since, has " racist tendencies " ???
He's a product of the influence of the times in which he grew up... I'm not surprised...

Probably best if he sells the team and "exits stage left "... his time is over...
I wonder if the girl planned that betrayal, ahead of time ....maybe at the prompting of certain elements within the media world.....

Could be .....He'll walk away..but will likely do so with hundreds of millions of dollars..
I have never even Heard of the guy,, until Now...

But he's also been tagged as a Democrat.

Hmmm...this is certainly a strange Two-Way or is it a Three-Way?

Anyone care to say either way?

There is no doubt this Don Sterling dude is a racist. Apparently he has a long history looking down on the players of his team as nothing more than property. The dude does not come out of the 1950s, he comes out of the 1850s. But don't ever believe the bullshit the Donkeys try to peddle that only the Elephants are for sale to the highest bidder. The Donkeys are just as guilty as the Elephants, like when they accepted hundreds of millions from world class asses such as San Francisco billionaire Tom Steyer.

The Donkeys are just as dirty as the Elephants and the fools who say otherwise are just as big of bigots as the people they claim are bigots.

Eh, weak.

I gotta say, I listened to the 9 minute audio for a about three minutes and I had to turn it off because it was just stupid. The fact that anyone is making a big deal about this is what I find disturbing.

Sure, it's more a question of, "Why now?" He has a pretty long history of actions to dwell on instead.

Indeed.

Sterling has been a registered Republican since 1998. A search of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's website for Sterling's name, date of birth, and address confirms that he's registered as a Republican.

What I'm hearing (yet to be verified) through the transom is that this gal has about 100 hours of recorded conversation with him. HMMMMMM....

Yes, he has a long history of paying his players as little as possible so he's probably got the terms tightwad and cheap, stinking all over him.

So if the 100 hours of recording is true, this could very well be a set up and Sterling just got hung out to dry.
