Yet another de-assimilated American male. He should move to Europe, his views are more acceptable there.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

As usual running with the story even though it's questionable.

 

[brandonb]

There is no place for racism in today's world. They need to kill him, immediately.

He's on tape.

I just listened to that entire recording, god that is one cranky old racist coot. "Don't bring black people to my games (meaning Magic Johnson)," who she took a picture with.

He is from an era where they use to hang black people, so not surprising he is still as racist as ever. Why on earth would a beautiful woman like that continue a relationship with such a nasty person like that? She can do better. Glad she got him on tape.

There is nothing questionable about it, that is in fact him, his voice.

Good, he's long been a terrible and cheap owner. The clippers could use much better management (Larry Elison needs to push for an offer to buy)

The funniest part: "On May 15, Sterling is scheduled to be honored by the Los Angeles chapter of the N.A.A.C.P. with a lifetime achievement award."

The irony is strong in this one. lol

Please tell me you are kidding? What else besides having a basketball team has this guy done for black people?

 

[Attic]

He will weasel out of it through conflation and obfuscation. Already trying to undermine the source instead of taking responsibility for what he said.

The BS is strong with this one, though I fear it will work.

...
"Magic is a Friend, (don't think what I said makes me a vapid douchebag, I've got black friends whose backs I speak behind)."

I can almost hear this guy saying, "come on, it's ALL GOOOOD!!!"

 

[SheHateMe]

"Don't you know I'm Mixed?"

"I thought you were going to have that removed"


dahahahaha

dahahahaha

LMAO, I know right? I did a double take on that one too!

 

[Londo_Jowo]

He's on tape.

ESPN reported that the recording maybe not be him or has been altered. The woman that Sterling was supposedly talking to is being sued by him for large sum of money.

However, as usual in the media and here alledged means guilty until proven innocent.

 

[rpsgc]

Just mention 'racism' and any need for proof or evidence goes out the window.


It's the P&N way. Except when that racism is towards white people of course, then it's never true :hmm:

As usual you have nothing better to say but come to the aid of the worst of our society. Funny how this always seems to be your first response or typical of your responses in these types of threads.

1.) Point me to the last time I linked a story that has been questionable
2.) This is Politics and News and seeing that every mostly every NEWS outlet (even Fox) has reported this, it is News.
3.) I didn't take a side on it either way, just posted it here as it is NEWS.
4.) It's great your defending Sterling, but why don't you quote what he says in his defense. Actually let me do it for you.

"We have heard the tape on TMZ Sports. We do not know if it is legitimate or if it has been altered."

That's a pretty strong denial isn't it.

pointing this out and how it might interconnect with the rest of your posts on anandtech

I find it quite odd the Donald Sterling is a lifelong Democratic supporter (donations to the Democratic party, none to Republican) as well as had made donations to the NAACP. His girl friend is half black as well.

If you watched the NBA at all the past decade, you would know that Sterling is racist asshole. This is just proof on tape.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

And the KKK grand wizard who went on a shooting spree while praising Hitler was once busted with a black tranny prostitute. What's your point? Is it the "see I'm not racist, I know a black guy" defence ?

This isn't his first go round the racist wheel.

Whats up with the dem's war on blacks?

 

[boomerang]

The conversation about this in OT is much more grounded in reality. Basically it boils down to his ex mistress attempting to entrap him and perhaps recording him without his consent which is illegal in California. A woman being scorned by a woman scorned.

But I always do enjoy reading our leftist friends jumping to conclusions in threads the premise of which they support while calling for reasoned dissemination of the facts in threads they don't. BTW, this reasoned dissemination is double-speak for delaying the discussion until the appropriate talking points can be fabricated.

 

[sportage]

Missing the point...
The US Supreme Court believes America no longer has a problem with racism.
And to think Justice Thomas agreed.
But I guess in his protected little world he himself never encounters racism.
So the high court rules racism no longer exists in America.
And immediately state after state imposes laws restricting voting rights.
And the SCOTUS still believes racism is non existent.
All is not well in the land of milk and honey.

Clearly you have no idea what entrapment means.

He's a Democrat. All he has to do is apologize for it and all will be forgiven.

Why on earth would a beautiful woman like that continue a relationship with such a nasty person like that? She can do better. Glad she got him on tape.

For the same reason she got into that relationship.
