2014 NBA Playoffs

You're generalizing and that's an error on your part my friend. .

generalizing is what Sterling did. and generalizing is what others do when they say bad things for no other reason but being offensive and hurtful to others.

now if the owners ok all this. they better not have anything in their past or future show up. be careful with that first stone. same for the players.

Each case is different and honestly I don't care what the commissioner says,

those words were his............ no generalizing by me.


now here is some generalizing
from what i have learned about MLK and knew from being alive in the 1960s being in protest marches, the hate of this man was not what he was about. hate + hate does not = a right

MLK would have wanted to talk to Sterling to have told him how hurtful those type of words are to him and others etc.

what if he gets counseling and ends up on Oprah and is truly sorry ?

So who's watching the NBA playoffs?

I wasn't,but there's no other hockey game to watch tonight. Now I'm going to watch my DVR recording of Marvel Agents of Shield. I don't see how the NBA is beating the NHL in playoff ratings when none of the teams do anything for me. I think this Donald Sterling thing is a "false flag event" to get people to watch a game they wouldn't have bothered with watching otherwise. Golden State Warriors? Los Angeles Clippers(the OTHER Los Angeles basketball team)? This was all a publicity stunt to get people to watch.

Seriously,he is a jerk & he deserves to be banned for life. Anything more I have to say about him,I'll take it to the pit. I was just being facetious because seriously,if he'd kept his mouth shut & this scandal didn't happen,WHO'D be watching the Clippers versus the Warriors? Seriously,this was a boon for ratings.

Jay-Z’s Bling Traced to Black Supremacist Group

Jay-Z may be Jamie Foxx’s new best friend. While Foxx once seemed to take joy in bragging that he got to “kill all the white people” in the film "Django Unchained" during his Saturday Night Live monologue, Jay-Z is now proudly wearing jewelry from a group who refers to white men as ‘devils.’
The NY Post spotted the rapper’s gold necklace at a recent Nets game he attended with wife Beyonce. The jewelry has since been traced to the Five Percenters, a group founded by former Malcolm X student Clarence Smith in 1964. Here’s a bit of what the Five Percenters believe, according to Michael Muhammad Knight, an author who’s written two books about the radical organization:

“The rationale is that the black man is God and created the universe, and is physically stronger and intellectually stronger and more righteous naturally.”

“Whiteness is weak and wicked and inferior — basically just an errant child who needs to be corrected.”

The Daily Mail provides more details on the group’s radical beliefs here.



Jay-Z causes outrage by wearing gaudy medallion of 'Five Percent Nation' group who believe whites are 'wicked and weak'
The Brooklyn-born rapper wore a medallion representing the Five Percent Nation at a Nets game last week
One of the main tenets of the Nation of Islam offshoot is that white people are 'weak and wicked' and that black men hold the power of God
When asked if the medallion holds any importance to him, Jay-Z said: 'A little bit'
Jay-Z was spotted wearing the nation's symbol last year while giving radio interviews for his new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail
A representative for the Five-Percenters said Jay-Z is not an active member and shouldn't be wearing regalia unless he subscribes to their beliefs

I will add she's really not any better than he is. When you start reading all the details involving her and the Sterlings, it makes me queasy.

If this has gone on for years then things should have been done a lot earlier. Just like other jobs if you don't document and punish along the way you can't just fire someone for one incident if it is just spewing off at the mouth. ( I am generalizing of course, some places can fire for no reason)

I think I might be done with the NBA. Yes, Sterling is a racist and I don't really care what happens to him or the Clippers. But, to have Jesse Jackson on the court last night is a huge slap in the face. The guy is a stone cold anti-Semite and a known racist.

To say the NBA is 100% racism free is just a dream. Am certain that behind closed doors a lot of nasty stuff is said throughout the NBA. Sterling's only mistake, besides not keeping his mouth shut, was airing his views to his mix-raced GF 50+ years his junior...it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know it was going to bite him in the arse since the GF was already being sued by Sterling's estranged wife and the suit was cheered on by the Clips organization.

He was brought in by the players from what I have been told.

In NBA Playoff news, we are one win away from having BOTH(Bulls and Pacers) of the biggest $#!7 talking teams eliminated! Come ooonnnnn Atlanta!

 

[cosmo_kramer]

All this Donald Sterling stuff has been a nice distraction....

 

[salsadancer7]

LMAO! Isn't it always the case....

Did anyone hear that former NBA player,Larry Johnson,is proposing an all black league?

My cousin visited yesterday evening,he was jumping stumps.He said people dying in the south and midwest from the tornadoes,yet all the news coverage was about Sterling.I had to look up the local affiliate number so he could call and complain.My advice to him,quit watching the news.

Yeah.. no double standard there: if I go around proposing an all-white league, am public enemy #1

Oh man that would get so much bad publicity,death threats and lord only knows what else.

 

[Kraven]

This type of racial talk just burns a hole in my side end. I judge people by their character..irrelevant of where they come from.
I just find it idiotic to no end some people cries foul then turn around and say something on the same basis as their original beef.

Its like sayin' "yo, ya dont want to be offended, then dont go around offending people".
