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:

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.

How boutcha SoftDick, do you know your Texas counties?

+1.
Don't ever say I don't have a compassionate side...

Or are you just a limp dick transplant from San Fransisco masquerading as a redneck badass, working as a cubicle slut in an insurance outlet off of I-20?

Uhhh....your birth certificate is an apology from the trojan factory??

C'mon, boy, say something hard and pithy, like the shit-kicker wannabe you wannabe.

I don't know him. If I did, I'd probably hate his guts. I am free to hate him (currently). He should also be free to hate if he chooses. Players are free to quit, strike, and protest if they choose. The league is free to ban him.

The scary part arises when ruling bodies begin tracking speech for signs of hate and then equate that speech with other more heinous acts.

The only saving grace is that whatever technology they use can also be used against them. Unfortunately, they flaunt their surreptitious powers with push-button ease.

I hate that.

What was most puzzling about his comments was sterling's concern for image. That's fundamentally unamerican cause we are not supposed to give a damn what other people think, that's something that you would expect from more collectivist cultures where emotion of shame reigns supreme.

Pre-kindergarten babbling...how 'glassy eyed with nothing inside' of you....
I can picture your mother changing your diapers while you spout out these little baby turdsgaas....and we all know WHY I can visualize your mother changing diapers...

sbh says

Probably little use for condoms in your hovel since they irritate your sores

Wow! What he said is pretty disgusting. If that was his way of telling his girlfriend that he doesn't want her hanging around guys, he could have left race out of it. Clearly, there's a lot of jealousy there. He didn't seem too pleased when she brought up how he would feel if she were hanging around Larry Bird... and he said that she could take and post all the pictures she wanted with her sisters (who I presume are the same race as the girlfriend), suggesting that his issues have as much to do with sex as they do with race. Why she feels compelled to tape him and make it public is another story.

71   Reality   2014 Apr 30, 4:33pm  

He did not bring up race. She did. She used the word "black" first.

He was obviously a little senile, and having trouble memorizing the long list of her friends: "that second Dennis" instead of Dennis with a real last name that he couldn't remember. So when she started to use "black" to summarize her long list of male athlete friends, he followed with the same word. What he did not know was that she was recording to entrap him.

Also, keep in mind that Magic Johnson was a member of the Laker team, the cross-town rival of the Clippers. Therefore she was bringing "the enemy" to a Clipper's game. On top of that, Magic Johnson was known to have slept with 10,000+ women.

LOL. Is that what they call the keeping up with the Joneses suburbia?

I think Reality should have to prove he's not a homophobe.

I commend real gay men who are only into other men. They leave more women available for me. I do not like lesbians unless they are bisexual and would let me join.

I hate fake gay men who can still get their dicks hard in the presence of women and impregnate them. Naive pretty girls seem to have a soft spot for those and get themselves into trouble.

I wish every single man in the world, excepting myself, were strictly homosexual. So there.

Not all mothers, just yours.

Cause you've got a thing for mothers.

There you have it folks.
Liberal Logic 101.

Cause you've got a thing for mothers. That's why you didn't fuck your sister......you didn't want to make your mommy jealous. You banged your brother for years, primarily out of frustration, so there's that.

Only Luddites deny this fine american is a paragon of ownership and social grace.

Wow can you say non sequitur?

Yeah, I know.....
I'm trying to rehabilitate him...

Well how do you reconcile his apparent racism with his statement that he did not care if she went out and fucked black men? That just does not compute for anyone who is a true racist.
This is more about him getting one up on his white billionaire buddies who apparently are giving him shit about her tweets....
The problem here is senility, an infinite bank account, oldster boredom, golddigging, and donating to liberal politicians.

sbh says

He's actually an artiste of blackness as evidenced by his invitation to guests to join him in the locker room to check out his players' "beautiful black bodies".

79   Y   2014 May 1, 1:36am  

Your mother is extremely efficient! I think I may need the green pills...

sbh says

You're getting softer and softer ; limping actually.

80   Y   2014 May 1, 1:46am  

I know reading isn't one of your strong points, but lets try it again:

"he did not care IF SHE WENT OUT AND FUCKED BLACK MEN".

I agree with you that a racist wouldn't have a problem having sex with black women, but it's another thing for a racist to tell his girlfriend to go do it.

Care to comment on what I actually said?

sbh says

Because white racists fucking blacks doesn't condition their racism. Only in the mind of an apologist does it seem to mitigate racism. A misogynist rapist fucks women.

She already made that public, she was asked to record him. So just look at whoever is going to be buying the team, that's probably who started this. No one does things like that without some significant financial motivation.
