People are allowed to be racist. Sterling is allowed to be racist, Jay Z is allowed to be racist, The Nation of Islam dude is allowed to be racist.

You can't be unfair in opportunities, employment, etc, etc, etc.

If Donald Sterling was a frick in a trailer, nobody would care. The fact of the matter is that he's an NBA owner, so it's news. He didn't discriminate in employment, opportunities, or anything else.

If someone doesn't want to play for a racist, that's on them. He's fulfilling his obligations as far as the law is concerned as a racist. Anything else is a personal choice.

He was in a position of power. Of course it was news.

Doesn't mean that his comments weren't detrimental to the league or that he couldn't be racist. That is irrelevant.

That isn't the issue here at all. You're missing the point.

But that's ok. I'm done arguing this. Gotta go get some work done. Have a good one
