Atlanta Hawks Owner Blows The Dog Whistle!


God damn it, this year is getting worse for Black America. The ignorant White conservative man continue his pursuit of hatred and total bigotry towards Blacks.

Now the NBA once again has an owner who was caught on tape or through the social networks saying something disrespectful towards Blacks.

Bruce Levenson, part of owner of the Hawks is giving it up after the uproar.

As expected the racist right will claim this guy is a Democrat cause he may have donated a few thousands to group that associates with the party. The racist right will say that NBA stars say NIGGA like it's an everyday thing. The racist right will acknowledge that White men are off limits to political correctness.

No one is stopping the White conservative man from being a condescending bigot. You have the right to say ugly hurtful and downright racist things about the president, the Black community and those who aren't White. You can do so at your peril, If you own a business or have media impact, you can get the hammer laid on you if you speak hateful words.

The Associated Press reports that less than one month after the Clippers' sale ended Donald Sterling's ugly downfall, another NBA team is on the market following a racially charged disclosure from its owner.

Atlanta Hawks co-owner Bruce Levenson said Sunday he is selling his controlling interest in the team, thanks in part to an inflammatory email he wrote two years ago.
NBA owner goes off on Blacks at his game in an fiery email.
Levenson said he wrote the email in an attempt "to bridge Atlanta's racial sports divide." Instead, he offered his divisive comments, including his theory that Hawks black fans kept white fans away.

Levenson said he regrets the email sent to the team's co-owners and general manager Danny Ferry in 2012 as "inappropriate and offensive." In a statement released by the team, Levenson said he sent the email due to his concerns about low attendance and a need to attract suburban whites.

He says he later realized the email made it seem white fans were more important. He voluntarily reported the email to the NBA.

"I have said repeatedly that the NBA should have zero tolerance for racism, and I strongly believe that to be true," Levenson said in the statement. "That is why I voluntarily reported my inappropriate email to the NBA.

"After much long and difficult contemplation, I have decided that it is in the best interests of the team, the Atlanta community, and the NBA to sell my controlling interest in the Hawks franchise."

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Sunday the league will work with the Hawks' ownership group and CEO Steve Koonin, who now will oversee all team operations.

Silver said the league's independent investigation "regarding the circumstances of Mr. Levenson's comments" in the email was ongoing when he was told Saturday night of Levenson's plan to sell his share of the team.

Silver said he supported Levenson's decision.

"As Mr. Levenson acknowledged, the views he expressed are entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles of the National Basketball Association," Silver said. "He shared with me how truly remorseful he is for using those hurtful words and how apologetic he is to the entire NBA family — fans, players, team employees, business partners and fellow team owners — for having diverted attention away from our game.
The team is on sale.
"I commend Mr. Levenson for self-reporting to the league office, for being fully cooperative with the league and its independent investigator, and for putting the best interests of the Hawks, the Atlanta community, and the NBA first."

Sterling was forced to sell the Los Angeles Clippers after a recording surfaced in April of the owner scolding his girlfriend for bringing black men to Clippers games. Steve Ballmer officially became the team's new owner on Aug. 12.

In the email sent in August 2012, Levenson said "southern whites" were uncomfortable at games.

"My theory is that the black crowd scared away the whites and there are simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base," Levenson said in the email released Sunday by the Hawks.

"Please don't get me wrong. There was nothing threatening going on in the arena back then. I never felt uncomfortable, but I think southern whites simply were not comfortable being in an arena or at a bar where they were in the minority."

Levenson said Hawks crowds were 70 percent black, the team's cheerleaders were black and hip-hop music was played.

"Then I start looking around at other arenas," Levenson said. "It is completely different."

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Atlanta's population was 54 percent black and 38.4-percent white in 2010. For metro Atlanta, the ratio is 55.4 percent white and 32.4 percent black.

Levenson said he often heard fans say the area around Philips Arena in downtown Atlanta is dangerous.

"This was just racist garbage," Levenson said. "When I hear some people saying the arena is in the wrong place I think it is code for there are too many blacks at the games."
John Jenkins.
Though he said he disagreed with the conclusion, he said he told team executives to add white cheerleaders and music "familiar to a 40-year-old white guy."

Added Levenson in the email: "I have even (complained) that the kiss cam is too black."

Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed said the comments in Levenson's email were "reprehensible and offensive."

"The statements do not represent the city of Atlanta's history of diversity and inclusion, and we will be clear and deliberate in denouncing and repudiating them," Reed said. "I applaud the NBA's efforts to enforce a no-tolerance policy of discrimination. As a city, we will continue to stand behind the Atlanta Hawks organization as they work to find new ownership that reflects the values and ideals of a city that is too busy to hate."

The Rev. Al Sharpton released a statement encouraging Silver "to continue vetting all owners."

"The announcement by Bruce Levenson is welcomed and appropriate by those of us in the civil rights community, that raised the issue of Donald Sterling's need to be removed, and that other owners must be held accountable," Sharpton said.

Though the NBA investigation of the email was ongoing, Levenson apparently concluded he couldn't continue in his ownership role.

"If you're angry about what I wrote, you should be," Levenson said in Sunday's statement. "I'm angry at myself, too. It was inflammatory nonsense. We all may have subtle biases and preconceptions when it comes to race, but my role as a leader is to challenge them, not to validate or accommodate those who might hold them."

This is not Levenson's first effort to sell the team. In 2011, the Hawks' ownership group, headed by Levenson and Michael Gearon Jr., made an unsuccessful attempt to sell to California developer and pizza chain owner Alex Meruelo.

The group acquired the Hawks and the NHL Thrashers from Time Warner in 2004. The Thrashers were sold and moved to Winnipeg in 2011.

Jason "The Manchild" Mattera Ambushes Rev. Perm!

Conservative gnat confronts Rev. Perm.

Conservative agitator Jason "The Manchild" Mattera once again tries this in your face journalism on people who he claims are hypocrites. Last time he tried to confront comedian Chris Rock and this kind of gotten out of control. Then he tried to run up on Bono, and was shocked to find that he was talking to a Bono impersonator.

These confrontations were part of his book Hollywood Hypocrites. The last book he wrote was Obama Zombies. Each book is full of his hyperbolic criticism of liberals and how conservatives must master the message to appeal to minorities. Most people of color view Republicans and their conservative allies as racist. Yet, in this empty head, Mattera continues to be in a denial of reality. He will continue to agitate those who he felt got away with "murder".

Now still up to his notorious race-baiting tactics, he goes after Rev. Perm over his Crown Heights comments.

Like racial arsonist James O'Keefe, Mattera has a history of distorting the truth. So obviously, I have to not take this video for face value. After all it cuts off with his recording speeches of 20 years ago.

Of course Rev. Perm is the founder of the National Action Network, host of Obama News program PoliticsNation and a signed act on Cash Money Records. The Rev has history of grassroots protest and provocateur activism. He's a well known liberal agitator.

The racist right can't stand him and Jesse "Cut His Nuts Off" Jackson. They believe that every time an event happens in America and it involves a White on Black crime, the racist right expects these two to be involved. 

Rev. Perm with Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, the parents of deceased teen Trayvon Martin.
So digging back into the vault, Jason Mattera pulls out all the statements of the past. 

The Rev. was an active activist in New York he made some not so nice comments about the Jewish community during the Crown Heights riots. The Crown Heights riot began on August 19, 1991 after a car driven by a Jewish man, and part of a procession led by an unmarked police car, went through an intersection and was struck by another vehicle causing it to veer onto the sidewalk where it accidentally struck and killed a seven-year-old Guyanese boy named Gavin Cato and severely injured his cousin Angela. 

Witnesses could not agree upon the speed and could not agree whether the light was yellow or red. One of the factors that sparked the riot was the arrival of a private ambulance, which was later discovered to be on the orders of a police officer who was worried for the Jewish driver's safety, removed him from the scene while Cato lay pinned under his car.

During a protest the Rev. said, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house".

So as Mattera goes into confrontation he first asked the Rev. that in spite of the "lifetime ban" of LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling, why isn't he banned from Obama News?

As Rev. Perm was walking to the event, Mattera continues hounding him with questions.

If Mattera really wanted to debate Rev. Perm why don't he go on PoliticsNation?

See he's too much of a punk to do that. And his videos aren't but distortions of truth.

As Wikipedia explains it, Rev. Perm is controversial but yet effective. Rev. Perm's supporters praise "his ability and willingness to defy the power structure that is seen as the cause of their suffering" and consider him "a man who is willing to tell it like it is". Former Mayor of New York City Ed Koch, a one-time foe, said that Rev. Perm deserves the respect he enjoys among Black Americans: "He is willing to go to jail for them, and he is there when they need him."

His critics describe him as "a political radical who is to blame, in part, for the deterioration of race relations".

Sociologist Orlando Patterson has referred to him as a racial arsonist, while liberal columnist Derrick Z. Jackson has called him the black equivalent of Richard Nixon and Pat Robertson. Rev. Perm sees much of the criticism as a sign of his effectiveness. "In many ways, what they consider criticism is complimenting my job," he said. "An activist's job is to make public civil rights issues until there can be a climate for change."

Magic Johnson: Sterling Doesn't Have A Soul!

Magic Johnson reacts to NBA owner's attack upon him. The interview was done by Anderson Cooper.

The legendary NBA star and business mogul speaks to Anderson Cooper after his highly anticipated interview with Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Erwin "Magic" Johnson was diagnosed with HIV in 1992 and decided to retire from basketball.

Sterling not one to shut the fuck up takes a shot at the mogul for not doing enough for the Black community.

One thing was clear, Magic wasn't happy about the Sterling interview.

"It's sad. It really is. I'm going to pray for this ... man," Johnson told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview.

Sterling's explosive CNN interview that aired Monday night was the first time he had spoken publicly since audio recordings surfaced last month of him making racist remarks.



Johnson told Cooper he is still waiting for an apology from Sterling for getting roped into Sterling's fight with Stiviano, and Johnson called the Monday interview -- in which Sterling directed another tirade at the NBA legend -- "disturbing."

"What's really sad is, it's not about me," Johnson said. "This is about the woman you love outing you and taping you and putting your conversation out here for everybody to know. ... This is between you two, but then he wants to include me."

Johnson said he had only met with Sterling three or four times, and most of those discussions had focused on basketball. Johnson couldn't say if the Clippers owner has slipped mentally.

Johnson told CNN, Sterling called him recently and asked him to appear alongside him in an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters.

"I said the number one thing you need to do which you haven't done is apologize to everybody, and myself," Johnson said. "(Sterling replied) 'I'll get to that. I'll get to that.'"
NBA owner tells Cooper that Black folks don't look out for one another.
The former NBA star told Sterling that the billionaire businessman needed to consult with attorneys, stressing that the controversy was bigger than Sterling realized.

Johnson said Sterling was adamant about Johnson doing the interview, even reaching out a second time.

Johnson said his attorneys advised him not to have any further conversations with the embattled owner.

Sterling never did the interview with Walters.

"I'm really disturbed by the fact that when he called me he should have said, 'Magic, I'm sorry,'" Johnson said.

The rest of this story appears on CNN's official website from Anderson Cooper 360.

Take discretion in viewing these videos. Some of the comments from Sterling could be viewed as offensive.

The Kiss That Pissed Off A Dolphin Player!

Michael Sam kisses his boyfriend and the world reacts.

The NFL has signed openly gay player Michael Sam to the St. Louis Rams (NFC).

He made history that day.

There was a moment where Sam would kiss his boyfriend after he got the news.

Some thought of the kiss as a victory for LGBT in the sports industry. Others thought of it as disgusting and a terrible day for football.

The (AFC) Miami Dolphins player Don Jones is being benched after he made an inappropriate tweets in spite of the Donald Sterling scandal and the scandal involving his former teammate Richie Incognito was sacked after taunting Jonathan Martin.
Don Jones was fined and benched after he posted nasty comments on the reaction from Michael Sam.
Don Jones made an inappropriate tweet following the draft of Michael Sam, allegedly deeming it "horrible" and was promptly fined by the NFL and suspended from team activities. He was then required to undergo training related to workplace harassment.

The 23-year old safety was fined a reasonable amount of money for that.

The Associated Press reports that Jones had apologized for his comments Sunday and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments.

"We were disappointed to read Don's tweets," coach Joe Philbin said in a statement. "They were inappropriate and unacceptable, and we regret the negative impact these comments had on such an important weekend for the NFL. We met with Don today about respect, discrimination and judgment. These comments are not consistent with the values and standards of our program."

The Dolphins reacted swiftly to Jones' comments in the wake of the team's bullying scandal last year, which embarrassed the NFL and prompted a nationwide debate about workplace harassment.

Jones said he regretted that his tweets took away from Sam's "draft moment."
Sam and Jones will face each other eventually.
"I remember last year when I was drafted in the seventh round, and all of the emotions and happiness I felt when I received the call that gave me an opportunity to play for an NFL team, and I wish him all the best in his NFL career," Jones said in a statement. "I am committed to represent the values of the Miami Dolphins organization, and appreciate the opportunity I have been given to do so going forward."

Jones' agent, Chris Martin, could not be reached Sunday for comment.

Jones had protected his Twitter page after I guess he got his share of death threats and responses from those who were offended by his tweets.

Sterling: That [B****] Set Me Up! I'm Not A Racist!

He speaks....

The NBA owner of the Los Angeles Clippers finally decides to speak. He was better being silent.

Of course, he spark more controversy by even speaking out against the mistress and those who he thought were his friends. Yet, he doesn't speak about people. Oh, he's got a lot to talk about, don't he?

Anderson Cooper of CNN got an exclusive interview with Donald Sterling. Sterling was recently banned for life from all NBA games and his own team.

He talks to Cooper stating that those "words weren't in his heart" and his mistress "set him up".

"When I listen to that tape, I don't even know how I can say words like that. ... I don't know why the girl had me say those things," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview set to air on Monday.

"You're saying you were set up?" Cooper asked.

"Well yes, I was baited," Sterling said. "I mean, that's not the way I talk. I don't talk about people for one thing, ever. I talk about ideas and other things. I don't talk about people."

Cooper asked "Why did it take so long for you to speak out ?"

"I'm not a racist," Sterling told Cooper. "I made a terrible, terrible mistake. And I'm here with you today to apologize and to ask for forgiveness for all the people that I've hurt."

"The reason it's hard for me, very hard for me, is that I'm wrong. I caused the problem. I don't know how to correct it," he said.

He lashed out at Erwin "Magic" Johnson for being a hypocrite. He claims that Johnson doesn't do enough for the Black community himself and Sterling has tried to contact him.

"I'm a good member who made a mistake and I'm apologizing and I'm asking for forgiveness," he said. "Am I entitled to one mistake, am I after 35 years? I mean, I love my league, I love my partners. Am I entitled to one mistake? It's a terrible mistake, and I'll never do it again."

Sterling and his wife Shelley are feuding over the rights of the team. The NBA wants to force them both off the team after it was revealed that Sterling made racist comments to V. Stiviano about her associating with Black people.

Sterling and his wife were litigants to a civil lawsuit involving discrimination some of their properties.

Do you forgive this man?

23: Them Days Growing Up, I Couldn't Stand White Folks!

Growing up in North Carolina when he was young, Michael Jordan was pretty upset over how his family was treated during them days of Jim Crow.

The Donald Sterling controversy is slowing calming down. The LA Clippers have advance to the finals. They ended the Golden State Warriors chances last week. Now they're taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder to advance.

The team has been in the news as of recently. Donald Sterling is their owner. The owner was on the phone with his mistress and I guess she recorded him making a racist tirade against Blacks. The NBA laid the hammer on Sterling. They banned him from every NBA game for life.

This is has pleased a majority of the fans and players of the sport. They believe that there's no place for racism, homophobia and religious discrimination in the NBA.

Legends had spoken out about the controversy. Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and even Air Jordan (aka 23 or His Airness) had spoken out.

Michael Jordan.

He's a god among the basketball faithful.

The legendary NBA star is in a featured biography about his life growing up in North Carolina.

One reveling part of his autobiography was the apparent dislike of White people.

"Michael Jordan: The Life," a new biography about the six-time NBA champion by sportswriter Roland Lazenby that hit shelves this week.

NBC News reports that Jordan told Lazenby that he was suspended from school in 1977 after throwing a soda at a girl who called him the N-word.

"So I threw a soda at her," Jordan's quoted as saying. "I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at the time. Basically, I was against all white people."

Lazenby told Sports Illustrated that it appeared that the root of Jordan's animosity came from growing up in an area of North Carolina where the Ku Klux Klan once had a large presence.

"I've been to North Carolina hundreds of times and enjoy it tremendously, but North Carolina was a state that had more Klan members than the rest of the Southern states combined," the author said. "As I started looking at newspapers back in this era when I was putting together [Michael's great-grandfather] Dawson Jordan's life, the Klan was like a chamber of commerce. It bought the uniforms for ball teams, it put Bibles in all the schools. It may well have ended up being a chamber of commerce if not for all the violence it was perpetrating, too. A lot of the context just wasn't possible to put it in a basketball book. A lot of it ended up being cut."

Jordan's story is "an economic story," Lazenby continued. "It's a black power story. It doesn't come from politics or protests, it comes right off the Coastal Plain of North Carolina and out of the African-American experience."

"As a former player, I'm completely outraged," the NBA Hall of Famer said. "There is no room in the NBA--or anywhere else--for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed. I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level."

Michael Jordan, the retired six time NBA champ recently got remarried to Yvette Prieto, a model and actress. He divorced his longtime wife Juanita, the mother of his children in 2007.

Michael Jordan is the father of three from Juanita and two from Yvette.

He is the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats Hornets.

Even Sterling's Wife Acting Like A Racist Jackass!

Donald Sterling is banned from NBA games. His estranged wife is facing controversy. 

This is a ongoing controversy.

It's a matter of principle. The controversial NBA owner of Los Angeles Clippers was banned indefinitely from the game. He can't attend any games whether form his own team or the opponents.

For the rest of his pathetic life, he'll no longer allow to sit court side. Adam Silver, the new NBA commissioner made it clear that the National Basketball Association isn't tolerating racism, homophobia and religious hate.

So this is a reminder to the NBA players, coaches and owners. It's a new day for the NBA.

News doesn't get any better for the embattled business owner. According to the gossip rag in New York, the NBA owner has prostate cancer. He was permanently banned from establishments he's long went to.

One included Dennis Hof, the famous pimp who owns the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Mound House, Nevada.

What hurts the most is the fact his family is falling apart as well.

Donald Sterling's estranged wife is now being revealed as a bigot as well.

After Sterling's former girlfriend Maria Perez (aka G. Stiviano) got the drop on the bastard, it was revealed that a lawsuit was held against Sterling and his wife Shelly.

Rochelle (known as Shelly) Sterling would be the properties manager of apartments and properties owned by Donald. She would often visit unannounced to the properties. She once had an encounter with a Black tenant. She would call him a "Black motherfucker" after the tenant asked about a lower rate on his lease.

Court documents discovered by the Los Angeles Times names Shelly as part of a discrimination lawsuit filed against the couple by their former tenants.

She was known to call her tenants who are Hispanics, filthy.....We'll you know the rest.

She calls Blacks tenants as disgusting scumbags. Even lied and said she was a health inspector to sneak into apartments.

"The way in which she said motherfucker was more lower voiced, under her breath. She said black loud enough for me to hear, she said mother loud enough for me to hear. Fuck part was a little lower. I had to look at her lips to hear her say it. And I did."

She immediately condemned her estranged husband's racist recording Sunday afternoon but was spotted at dinner with him Sunday night.

Back in the 2000s, Donald Sterling was fined heavily after this ordeal.

She and Donald were sued for illegal evictions and housing discrimination. That was about the time the Sterling family was to be handed an award from the NAACP of Los Angeles.

What makes it so sad the NAACP must really love the money that bigot chipped out. It was to give Sterling a lifetime achievement award for his contributions to minority communities.

The NAACP ousted the chapter president Leon Jenkins after the firestorm ensued having the racist right trying to tie the civil rights group to Sterling. The racist right was on this fix about the NBA owner's affiliation.

By the way, it was determined by actual records that Sterling was a Republican, not a Democrat as the discredited That Guy Who Throw Shit To The Wall's website.

NBA Puts The Hammer On Donald Sterling!

The NBA "banned" Donald Sterling for life after it was revealed he made some controversial statements about Blacks.

Me and S. Baldwin have covered the Donald Sterling scandal. The NBA owner has been exposed as another racist jackass. To make note, he's a Republican.

Sterling’s campaign contributions from more than 20 years ago. He spread a total of $4,000 among three Democrats, including former New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, and California Gov. Gray Davis. According to public records, he has given no money to any candidate since.

One thing I want to clear the air with is the political affiliation nonsense. Earlier I've posted that the racist right was already embarrassed over the Cliven Bundy remarks. They've welcomed the right wing militia rancher with open arms.

He ended up saying some not so nice things about "US NEGROS".

Now the conservatives were hoping they were going to deflect their idiocy towards that LA Clippers owner. They were saying that Sterling's measly donations in the 1990s automatically made him a lifelong Democrat.

Drudge Report
That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall is a total fool. He got embarrassed again after he jumped the gun on the Donald Sterling scandal.

Pants on Fire!The racist right went to town with it. The Bow Tie Manchild, National Screwview, That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall, King Hippo, That Guy Who Helped Obama Win, Chalk E Becker and Loudmouth Bill Cunningham all have pointed that the LA Clippers owner is a Democrat.

King Hippo even quirked that Sterling got in trouble because he didn't donate enough of the cash to Obama.

Now all of a sudden, Mother Jones, Talking Points Memo, The Washington Post and Politifact smashes the talking point putting the agitators back in the holes. It was revealed that Sterling was a registered Republican since 1998.

Ouch. Another stupid talking point going down the drain.
The conservative agitator deleted his tweet after he was debunked.
Now here's where the real action happened. The new NBA commissioner laid the hammer on Sterling.

A lifetime ban from the NBA. No access to the LA Clippers during practice, training, or games. The ban prohibits Sterling from attending any NBA games, entering any Clippers facility, or participating in any business decisions for the Clippers or the NBA.

The punishment was one of the most severe ever imposed on a professional sports owner. Moreover, Silver stated that he would move to force Sterling to sell the team, which would require the consent of three-quarters, or 22, of the other 29 league owners.

The University of California, Los Angeles announced that it was rejecting a $3 million gift from Sterling.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced a lifetime suspension and a $2.5 million fine for the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday during a press conference that will be remembered as a landmark moment in league history. The punishment was levied just days after audio recordings of Sterling making racist comments were released by TMZ and Deadspin.

“Effective immediately, I am banning Mr. Sterling for life from any association with the Clippers organization or the NBA,” Silver said during a press conference in New York on Tuesday afternoon. “Mr. Sterling may not attend any NBA games or practices. He may not be present at any Clippers facility. He may not participate in any business or player personnel decisions.”

In the recorded conversations that even garnered a rebuke from President Barack Obama, Sterling could be heard telling a woman, V. Stiviano, not to bring black friends to Clippers games or to post photos of herself with black people, including NBA legend Magic Johnson, on her Instagram account.

The NBA Players Association applauded the action taken by Silver but made it clear that it would not be satisfied until Sterling sells the franchise.

“As players, we’re very happy with the decision, but we’re not content yet,” NBPA vice president Roger Mason Jr. said in response to the NBA announcement. “We want immediate action. We want a timetable from the owners on when this vote is going to happen. We feel confident that with Adam Silver’s urging, and we’ve heard from a lot of the owners around the league, we think this is something that can be handled quickly.”
Game Over....
The Los Angeles chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) cancelled its plans for the following month to award Sterling for a second time with its lifetime achievement award.

President Barack Obama characterized the recording of Sterling as "incredibly offensive racist statements". Obama then stated, "When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don’t really have to do anything, you just let them talk."

Chumash Casino, the Clippers' most visible sponsor the prior four seasons, ended their relationship with the team, as did sponsors CarMax and Virgin America. Other sponsors and advertisers suspended their relationship with the Clippers while continuing to monitor the situation.

Conservatives: That Donald Sterling Dude Is A Democrat!

The First Amendment continues to allow the ignorant to speak. Tell us how you feel about it Mr. Sterling?

That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall once again is the gateway to extremism. The conservative agitators have all express outrage along with the liberal agitators over Donald Sterling's outrageous comments about Black people.

But what comes to mind is the fact that for every time a racial event happens or mass killing occurs, the conservative agitators are quick to blame the Democratic Party for this.

Obviously conservatives are generally looked as MOSTLY racist. But sometimes a liberal may say something that cross the line. Liberals are slightly more tolerant of Blacks than conservatives.

Yeah, there are racist Democrats. Obviously a Democrat from West Virginia, Arkansas or Oklahoma will vote for a horse before they vote for Barack Obama.

When Barack Obama was a candidate for president in 2008, he avoided states like Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Kentucky. He knew they were going to Hillary Clinton because those states are nearly impossible for a man of color to win. After all he made the comments about "[People being bitter], clinging to guns, religion, [with] antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

He was so right on that!

The National Screwview Online has made the accusations that the guy's political ties.

Tim Cavanaugh wrote that according to his "sources" Donald Sterling is a Democrat, according to campaign-contribution records. Long before this scandal, Sterling had donated to a few Democrats and Republicans.

Most contributions were local at best. I've tried to link up Newsmeat for his political ties. Unfortunately the website is shut down.

Michael Tomasky of The Daily Beast saw what I seen in this political hot potato. He noted that every freaking time an event would occur with race, it's conservatives quick to pounce on the Democrats and its usually the conservatives to say "oh he's a Democrat".

Right off the bat, he took to the social networks to see how the racist right reacted to it. Tomasky saw that the social networks were full of clucking conservatives challenging me to write about the Donald Sterling situation, or daring me to, or wagering that I would maintain a hypocritical silence in the face of this clear “proof” that Democrats are just as racist as Republicans.

Tomasky wrote that there's amazement to how eagerly the right-wing press has pounced on the “fact” that Sterling is a Democrat. To my knowledge, there is no such established fact at this point. This is based on two political contributions he made many moons ago.

Apparently, when the story broke Saturday morning, everyone in the cyberworld somehow glommed onto a 2011 list published at a site called RealGM that listed the political contributions of NBA owners. This list said Sterling had donated to two Democrats, Gray Davis and Bill Bradley, and that these were long ago, going back to “the early 1990s.”

Tomasky noted that this scandal has taken the heat off the misguided conservative support of that right wing militia rancher Cliven Bundy. After all, they were all in unison of Bundy during his stand off with the Bureau of Land Management and the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agency.

Bundy uttered racial comments about The NEGRO and it was leaked to the press over the past week.

It instantly sunk his support among those conservatives such as That Guy Who Helped Obama Win and his allies on Loserville.

Whenever you hear a Republican call the Democratic Party a platform to racism, let them know this!

If the Democrats were so racist, why on earth would they elect a Black man twice to be their nominee for president?

If the Democrats were such racists, why are conservatives so uptight whenever one of their own is caught sending racist emails or telling insensitive jokes about Blacks or Hispanics?

Let them know that the Republican Party isn't racist. But the Republicans has a whole lot of racists in the party!

LA Clippers Players Turn Their Back On Racist Owner!


This scandal has gotten so much attention. All across the nation, people are sounding off about this NBA team owner talking shit about Blacks being at his games. It's almost a damn shame in the age of Obama, we just got through that White extremist killing three in Overland Park, Kansas. The U.S. Supreme Court upholds Michigan's ban on Affirmative Action at institutions.Then we have this jackass rancher from Nevada who was a hero to the racist right spouting off about the NEGRO.

Each incident has shown me and S. Baldwin that our country is still embolden in racism.

I wonder if That Guy Who Helped Obama will run to the defense of this asshole Donald Sterling?
Share photos on twitter with Twitpic
The LA Clippers won't take anymore bullshit from Donald Sterling.

Well Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Labron James, Charles Barkley and even President Barack Obama called for the resignation of Sterling.

The racist right takes to defense of course attacking the president and the NBA for blowing this stuff "outta of proportion".

TMZ Sports released what it said is an April 9, 2014 audio recording of a conversation between Sterling and his girlfriend or former girlfriend, V. Stiviano.

According to TMZ, Sterling and Stiviano argued in regards to a photo Stiviano posted on Instagram in which she posed with Magic Johnson. In the audio recording, Sterling allegedly tells Stiviano: "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people."

Clippers president Andy Roesen issued a statement the following day, indicating that his organization was unsure if it was a legitimate and unaltered recording, that the sentiments attributed to Sterling did not reflect Sterling's views, and that the woman on the recording was being sued by the Sterling family and had "told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even'" with him.

The Los Angeles chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) cancelled its plans for the following month to award Sterling for a second time with its lifetime achievement award.

President Barack Obama characterized the recording attributed to Sterling as "incredibly offensive racist statements". Obama then stated, “When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don’t really have to do anything, You just let them talk.”

That's pretty simple of these assholes in the conservative media and that NBA owner. They continue to be ignorant and we just allow them to keep talking. Because if we keep them talking, they'll self-destruct.

Hopefully this geezer gets booted from his team. Because the ways its going, someone got to give. And he will be the one to go!

The Racism and Bigotry of LA Clippers Donald Sterling- SMH!







I can't let this one pass!

My take:

This guy is absolutely racist and bigoted, yet he had a Black girlfriend.  Racist white men want to have their cake and eat it too.  They also insist Black women to assimilate to their white male supremacist culture. That won't work because some Black women aren't giving up Blackness and Black culture. At the same time, those men denigrate Black men and women, telling them that they're "inferior" and have no rights bound to respect.

I wish some of my Black sisters in the "BWE" movment talk about this one.  How can one be with a man that is a racist and have one's sanity intact?  

That's white male privilege at work.  Entitled to have women of all races and be racist and hateful at the same time.  That proves Kristen Maye's and many other Black womens' viewpoint about racism in interracial relationships.  That painful history of Whites and Blacks along with Whites not giving up their "White Privilege" status and contemporary racism.
