Donald Sterling Clipper NBA Team Owner Makes Racist Comment

Yeah, I just posted that link, and some of the text in the thread on "euthanizing bovine herds"... LOL

Unfortunately, they don't seem to be able to prove he's a Democrat... Imagine my surprise...

Umm, it turns out that racist Donald Sterling NBA Team owner is a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN! Oh the horror, the humanity.

And those "major" Democrat fund raising that Fred claims he did? Turns out that was a grand total of $6000 over 20 years ago to former NBA player Bill Bradley and his friend Gray Davis.

Gee must really be embarrassing to be Fred and Bob.

...and a hush falls over the teabagger threads about the "racist Dem"...

[crickets]

Gee I guess a COUPLE of things need to be cleared up......has the tape been AUTHENTICATED?
also, I have to question the vetting (by the players,when they opted to play for the Clippers)...
per CNN BLACK commentator "this is not an isolated incident, it is well know within the industry
that Sterling has racist tendencies and the AGENTS of these players KNOW that fact." I have to
question WHY their agents did not tell them or WHY, if the players KNEW...did they opt to join?"
(paraphrasing this statement, but it is pretty accurate.).....

Another piece of information.....Sterling has been a lawyer and KNOWS the legal system, he has
been sued for housing discrimination and has won....(my understanding)....so this is multi-layered
and there are ALOT of questions that need answering (on MANY different levels)...but FIRST,
the tape needs to be authenticated....JMO

A ESPN host, Colin Cowherd, on his morning show said Sterling was a registered Democrat. #Istandcorrected.

And interesting to see the guy labeled a racist when his GF is half-black and he had paid hundreds of millions to black players and has hired African-American executives to run his organization.

About as interesting as labeling a slave owner racist when he has fathered a few children with a female slave, and used black men to pick his cotton, and even allowe blacks in his home to care for his children and serve his meals. Just what exactly is considered racist to you Fred?

I guess there are all different kinds of racism, from the White Aryan Resistance types who want to see all "mud" races removed to those like Sterling who will use African-Americans as mistresses and ballplayers to make him money. Will even pay them tens of millions of dollars.

Racists are racist because they hold prejudices against ethnicities, it has nothing to do with politics. There are racists in every political party (and sexists and ageists and religious intolerants, yada yada yada), there are party members who use ethnicity for personal gain or to further their causes, and it should all be denounced because it's wrong, not because it's an 'R' or a 'D' doing it. Pointing fingers and laughing that the other side did it HaHa is useless because all sides do it and not one group can stand the moral high ground (except maybe Buddhists...).

Exactly SC. I am laughing at the attitude of some on the left that only r's can be racist.
