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.

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.

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.

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".

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

You're getting softer and softer ; limping actually.

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.

Why she feels compelled to tape him and make it public is another story.

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.
