Do you know that you have a whole team that's black, that plays for you?

You just, do I know? I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses. Who gives it to them? Does someone else give it to them? Do I know that I have—Who makes the game? Do I make the game, or do they make the game? Is there 30 owners, that created the league?

This is their world, we just live in it.

After-tax Corporate profits:

http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/CP/

The top 5% of the economy makes a bit more than the bottom 75% put together

The middle 5- 25% also make less than the top 5% (they're each about 1/3 the distribution).

This 5% are not generally-speaking supermen in the entrepreneurial or productive sense. They just have assets working for them, the higher you go up in the income curve, the more this is true.

Even the GOP is going to have to admit this basic fact of reality eventually.

It is a well known fact that slave owners in the Antebellum South never fucked their chattel.

But owning a slave does not make one a racist, right?

How many slave owners gave their chattels Feraris and Bentleys and $1.8M to buy her own house? Sterling obviously did not treat her as chattel but treated her as his girlfriend.

There are over a million black people on this earth with a higher IQ than you. Sleep tight.

Are you some kind of racist and think black people are stupid? There are over 900 million people in Africa alone. Even if I make the cut for top 1% in terms of IQ, there should be something like 9 million black people on this earth with a higher IQ than mine, not just 1 million.

This is obvious to anyone listening without an agenda.
It was like she was reading from a script.
It did not even sound like a couples discussion, more like she was interrogating him on an endless loop hoping that he would wear down and make some offcolor remark, which he did being over 80 years old and unable to keep up with the constant pressure of questioning.

Of course she set him up. We are listening to this tape because she illegally recorded the conversation while calling him honey-this, honey that, in a very calm voice. The whole recording is utterly creepy . . . and you are calling me "sociopath"??

Zero, they didn't have to in order to fuck them. Let's not move the goalposts here and focus on your point first - your argument was he was not racist, and your support was because he chose to fuck her, and she was black. My counterpoint was it is not unheard of for known racists to fuck black people.

The economic situation under which the fucking occurred in completely irrelevant. That Sterling was prohibited from owning his fuck buddy, while a southern gentlemen 150 years ago was not, makes no matter. They both desired to fuck black women, and they are both racists.

You've made the claim that your IQ is above 140. At minimum, this implies your alleged intelligence would be greater than 99.7% of the population. Assuming 1 billion black people on earth (not everyone in Africa is black, btw) the expected value of black people with IQ higher than yours would be about 3 million. I conservatively said more than 1 million owing to the possibility that your claim of IQ "Above 140" might be an additional half standard deviation higher.

Strom Thurmond had a daughter with a black woman while a teenager.

Was he a racist?

“There’s not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the n—– race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes and into our churches.”

Cleary not since he not only banged black women but actually fathered children with them!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/she-the-people/wp/2013/02/05/strom-thurmonds-black-daughter-a-flesh-and-blood-symbol-of-americas-complicated-racial-history/

Was he a democrat? yes but only until 1964 "because of his opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, disaffection with the liberalism of the national party, and his support for the conservatism and opposition to the Civil Rights bill of the Republican presidential candidate Senator Barry Goldwater."

No, you fucking retard! He is not a racist because his girlfriend of several years is half-black. We are not in pre-Civil War with slave ownerships, you retarded fucking asshole. Finding a girlfriend nowadays involves mutual consent. In case that's news to your stupid loser prick spent too much time in your own hand.

Are you really that retarded?? Many southern gentlemen 150 years ago were not racists by the standards of their own era, even if they owned slaves. Many slave owners freed their slaves voluntarily.

All I knew was that my IQ test score came out to be 140+. I did not pay attention to where that put me in percentage terms. I have my doubts regarding the statistical claim because the vast majority of the populations of the world, with population concentrations on both ends of the spectrum, have never been tested.

Slavery in the south had both black and white slaves. There were also black freemen. The deciding factor was not race but whether the parents were slaves; although by the mid-19th century most white slaves had either redeemed their own freedom or had been redeemed by the church and civic organizations, excepting perhaps debt slaves and criminals for limited duration. By the time before the Civil War, slave owners had not imported any new slaves from Africa in their own life time. All slaves were inherited from the owners' parents, just like we inherit pets today. Before the end of Civil War, slaves were considered private property, as decided in the Dred-Scott Case by the SCOTUS.

My emphasis was on slave owners who freed slaves voluntarily. They were obviously racially progressive for their time. They were literally giving up the bulk of their own inheritance to elevate the black men and women that had been their parents' slaves. Would you muppets have done the same if you were in their shoes? Probably not. When was the last time you donated your new car or your house to the homeless?

Oh god, you're taking lessons from Captainshithead and Softdick: when cornered on your racism accuse the accuser of racism.

I have no idea whom you are talking about, but I learn from you, accusing others of being Neo-Nazi when you are in fact the fascist yourself.

sbh says

No, no, no, you're demeaning the pricing power of a vagina (just ask your "sex partners" as opposed to your girl friends [since you cannot have girl friends] in their transactional relationship that passes for "friendship" with a sociopath):

In case you are not aware, today's girls in their 20's do not like the title of "girlfriend" in the relatively early stages of a relationship. That title somehow conveys the idea of exclusivity and ownership to them, and they prefer non-exclusive in the beginning of a relationship. They prefer "friends" or "fuck buddies" before the "girlfriend" stage is reached. I use the term "sex partner" for this forum because it's a more clear description (for all stages) for us the old generation.

there's no set up, it's merely the marketplace clearing the socio-economics of the two players.

What are you talking about? The taping was quite illegal. The whole case is the gold-digger / scamster committing fraud and blackmail.

He's a racist and she's disgusted and you're an apologist for his disgusting racism. Fucking negates racism and the pricing power of her vagina makes her a conspirator against his racism. You're an idiot and a weirdo.

You are an idiot and weirdo. Did he hire Jewish players to his team? No. Did he exclude black players to his team? No. What racism are you talking about? He even kept a half-black girlfriend for years.

Race baiters win again....
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2014/04/the-race-baiters-and-v-stiviano-strike-gold.php

So an 80-year-old man with a much younger, mixed-race girlfriend is sexually insecure–go figure! He has a friend, a negative-image Iago, who plays on his insecurity and teases him when the mistress posts pictures with black men, however innocent they may be. So the old man asks her not to do it. She can spend all day with black men and even sleep with them, he says, just don’t post photos or attend Clippers games with them. But the young woman already has one foot out the door, and she illegally records her conversation with the old man, and then turns it over to two of the most disreputable gossip sites on the internet.

Have you perused the transcript of his statements about black people?

Those are his private conversations illegally taped. If everyone ever made a racially charged statement in private were to be ostracized, there wouldn't be many non-racist left; we can start with parents who have told their daughters not to date black, white, latino, asian, what-have-you out of their own groups.

In the transcript, we also have him clearly expressing no objection to his girlfriend sleeping around with black athletes, so long as that is carried on in private so he doesn't have to deal with unfavorable publicity. Sounds like a guy quite open-minded about sharing with blacks . . . not just in breaking bread together!

Slavery in the south had both black and white slaves.

I'm always amused at your creative versions of history. There were white indentured servants, not slaves. Indentured servants were working off the cost of their passage and/or their penal sentence for a fixed term. Slaves were owned as property in perpetuity. As a practical matter indentured servants were sometimes as badly treated as slaves and didn't have the terms of their indenture honored making them de facto slaves. The British did ship Irish prisoners as actual slaves to the West Indies in the mid 1600's, but not to the colonies.

Reality says

My emphasis was on slave owners who freed slaves voluntarily. They were obviously racially progressive for their time. They were literally giving up the bulk of their own inheritance to elevate the black men and women that had been their parents' slaves

There were very, very few slave owners south of Maryland that freed their slaves voluntarily. The church and public opinion in the north was strongly against slavery. Most owners weren't racially progressive at all, just bowing pressure of opinion. Slavery in the north pretty much ended in the north by the 1820's. This wasn't hard since In the north there were very few slaves to start with, 1-2% of the population vs 30-35% in the south. They were hardly giving up their inheritance since the vast majority of slaves in the north were domestic servants.

Most slaves in history were white, taken by Islamic countries. The fact that the US slaves fell along race lines was the exception.

Going into debt or being imprisoned for committing a crime then signing an indenture agreement to pay it off isn't the same as being captured at gunpoint and hauled off in chains in my mind. If it makes your one dimensional ideological world work for you then go for it.

Today in this country you do not go to prison and most likely you will not have to pay off the debt. If you are TBTF then they will even pay off your debt for you.

You've still got your head in the wrong end of the horse. To be a debtor one has to borrow money. So you are saying people who borrowed money of their own free will then had to live with the consequences (which they knew) are the same as people who were hunted down with guns and hauled away in chains.

Recording in private
Even the most well-known public figures have a reasonable expectation of privacy when they speak in their homes or other private retreats. Accordingly, courts and the government have made it illegal for information gatherers and others to engage in any of the following activities (Always keep in mind, however, that these prohibitions may not apply to law enforcement and other government officials):
bugging a room, secretly monitoring telephone conversations (to which the recording subject is not a party) or intercepting computer communications (publishers may, however, disseminate illegally taped conversations if they are of great public interest and the publisher broke no law in acquiring them);
hacking into telephone systems to acquire previously recorded conversations; and
acquiring a person’s phone records from a phone company by posing as someone authorized to see the records.

I'm fine with what he said... BUT!!!!!

He can't say that shit and be in the business he's in.
Which is why I don't think he really is racist. He never once, used the "N" word. I think what he said to her, had less to do with what he thinks about black, or Magic as a person. As it was his choice of words he used, trying to "CONTROL" her and her actions.

THAT being said...

It's out there, and being the business that he's in. He's got to go. Less he want's to be the guy who owns a team with no where to play, no teams to play, or any one on his team, and all of his fans alienated.

He used a piss poor choice of words, but being in the context and everything else with the recording coming to light. He has to pay the price, and it's understandable.

This is one case you wont hear me defending this guys right to say what ever he wants and it's being blown out of proportion. If he was the owner of a Mayonnaise company, or Hokey team I might think different given their demographic.

But I personally don't think he's racist. He said some shit and was trying to Manipulate that woman, because he was Jealous or he didn't want to see her there and thought she might not come if she can't bring Magic. Which was wrong in its self, and should be the real story about how he was trying to manipulate this woman. What else would he say to manipulate people into him getting his way?

I've know hateful spiteful racist people and he just didn't sound the part.
In the context of him saying what he did to her, is no different than a Jewish person warning someone NOT to bring a Goy or Shiksa to an event.
The big difference here is, at least everyone at their event and the important key players will ALL be Jewish.

It makes no sense for a Racist person to tell someone NOT to bring a person of certain race, to a sporting event that is predominately THAT race.

"Hey Don't bring Romonda to my Bull fight, why I can't have spics running around"

Or more analogous to this context...

"Hey don't bring Romonda to my Bull fight, I mean you don't want to be seen with Spanish people do you?"

See both sound racist, if not down right silly. But only the top sounds like he doesn't want to see her with Spanish people because he's racist. The other one sounds like a Jealous fool. When you realize he's hosting a Bull fight and 90% attendees are going to be Spanish and the bull fighters them selves will be the best from Spain.

It just don't add up.

This makes the man stupid that he said that over the phone where it could have been recorded, especially since he isn't actually racist. Well not anymore or less than someone 80 years old of any race or ethnicity.

I think he's a manipulative person and more dirt will start to come out about his character; but I bet there wont be any race dirt on him uncovered. Unless we're going to go back to 60 years or more ago, when everyone was a product of their time.
