by today's terms everything is racist... a comment made 30 years ago makes a person a racist today.....

Sterling does date a half black women and he did hire the first black GM in basketball so he has been somewhat progressive as well....


The comments on deadspin start from the 80's and go to recently....

A lot of them are about his renters on his property as well....

And it's because of all of the Mexicans that just sit around and smoke and drink all day.

Is she one of those black people that stink? [...] Just evict the bitch.
(Ibid.)

I don't have to spend any more money on them, they will take whatever conditions I give them and still pay the rent.

The guy was wrong for being dumb enough to spew racist comments but Al Sharpton is a huge racist and should take his own advice and disappear.

I'm sure privately Jay Z has made some stupid comments on white people he just didn't have those comments secretly taped.


This is conjecture. DS's behavior on the matter is not.

Honestly, we've probably all made racist/insensitive comments which is not indicative of our character.


We're not all employers in a minority-dominated profession.

quote:


I mean his GF is part black, he was the first owner to give a black man the title of GM, etc


NONE of which means he can't be racist.

quote:

Granted they were in his defense a private conversation that he had no idea was being taped.


Which is irrelevant, I might add.

You keep on bringing this up here and on the MSB like this somehow means he can't be racist. That's idiotic.

I think it is relevant....

Someone who is actually racist doesn't want anything to do with African Americans except for a subservient role

Someone who makes racist comments doesn't have to be a racist (by definition I just gave)it just makes them ignorant to society today

I have no clue. But he refers to her as a gentle Latina or a gentle white. Maybe he didn't use gentle but her definitely referred to her as white and Latina not black.

You are mistaken, I'm afraid.

Incorrect. "Actual" racists can consort with minorities on a regular basis in a variety of context and hold on to their racist views.

No, but racist people tend to make racist comments.

She is in that role though? He is her sugar daddy and she is all she more than likely listen to everything he says and lets him pump his grimy parts in her.

Excellent point. Even if they don't actually have sex, he gets to parade her around as his sexy little trophy girlfriend.

They do, but non-racist people make the same comments how do you distinguish between the two?


I won't hold comments Sterling said in the 80's against him because honestly it was a different era where those types of comments were more common place than we would like to admit and that was just how people spoke.


I'm not denying Sterling made racist comments, that much is obvious. It is also obvious he has made comments in the past but he has also done some progressive things for blacks.

I think you should be able to own whatever the frick you want and say whatever the frick you want to in a free country.

The free market will take care of this man for his comments. If people have a problem with it, they won't go watch his team play.

By evaluating each incident individually. There was nothing of merit in DS' latest comments.

Just because he's thrown some money at black people and has a mixed race squeeze doesn't give him carte blanche to say shite like he did. There is no defense. There is no excuse.

This would make sense if he hadn't continued to make racist comments since the early 80's. But he has. Tiger, stripes, etc

It is confusing as your typical racist won't have sexual relations with a black person.

It's like his actions and his words are complete opposite. I'm not sure if he just isn't one of those narcissistic rich guys that really doesn't give a shite, enjoys his name being the hot topic in the media, and just decides to troll the nation.

Eh, depends on the racist. Some will to assert their own sense of dominance or control, or whatever other fricked up "reason."

And, like I said earlier, even though she's his "girlfriend," or mistress, or whatever, they might not even necessarily be having sex. Could just be one of those symbiotic relationships where he gets to be seen with a hottie and she gets free loot.
