smitty Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Everyone has none the Clipper's owner has been a reprobate for over 30 years. So -- why NOW the outrage??

Amphibious Rodent Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. To much media pressure. The league had to take action and quickly. Why is the public outraged? Damning evidence I'd say. This was a no brainer. Why not 30 years ago? Economics. Nothing has changed. Money still talks. But if there is insurmountable evidence against you, and so much media and public pressure, action must be taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 There's talk about going after the Orlando Magic's owner for being anti homosexual. So, again, after 33 years of this behavior from Sterling, was this outrage real? Or was it something else?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Please tell me how this is different? Pretty sure the state run media wont tell me! http://www.mrconservative.com/2014/05/40374-hypocritical-sharpton-homos-nggers-and-faggots/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The NAALCP says the NBA didn't go far enough against Sterling. What's interesting is that Sterling contributed big bucks to the local chapter, in LA, of the NAALCP. I wonder if they gave that money back? Folks, it's more than about some being truly outraged. But -- what is the real reason?? http://hotair.com/archives/2014/04/30/naacp-sterling-sanctions-dont-go-far-enough/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 WHAT?!?! Let me say, again -- everyone knew for 33 years what he was like!

mat Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Rodent had it right. It is because of the blatant evidence and the media. Its also about money. This was fixin' to damage the NBA. Damage control was needed fast. Amphibious Rodent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big girl Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 That doesnt change the fact thst he appears to be a racistt, BUT i have to agree with 77. He has made other deragotory statements in the past, but it didn't stop officers from the LA chapter of the NAACP from cashing his checks, which is hypocritical.

Big girl Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 People are insinuating that the outrage was artificial. How would they know if a black person felt offended?They are not black; therefore, they are not able to say yay or nay. I know people who were really upset about what was said. I don't care, I feel sorry for the guy. He is incredibly ignorant, because being a racist in itself is illogical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again -- my only question is why now?! He gave big bucks to NAALCP. Nothing was ever said. Again -- WHY NOW?! This is where the artificial question comes into play. If it's artificial, then what is the real reason, after 33 years, to attack this man. Could there be more here then meets the eye? Big -- would you like to tackle this?

You don't have to be black or white,or Jewish or Asian or any other race to recognize racism. You simply have to put yourself in that persons place to understand. if you are offended when someone discriminates, or makes offensive statements about someone of your race, religion background, you rightfully should be. If someone does the same against someone not of your ethnicity or background you should be equally offended. If not you likely suffer from the same affliction as the perpetrator. That's actually where the problem lies. When you don't stand up for all people. Probably should start with the people closest to you. If we are to make the change we have to take a hard look at ourselves. all races suffer from racism, I've have, you have, we all have. Sometimes when we don't get what we want, we are quick to look for other reasons than our own mistakes or failures to put the blame on. I've worked with many races all over the world and I to had thoughts of being discriminated against. In fact maybe I was not just qualified for the position. My point is, racism and discrimination is everywhere to include our minds. This guy is a racist. I don't have to be of your race to see that. A blind man could recognize that. And maybe we should be blind. Then we could see more clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
