| Donald Sterling |
The US National Basketball Association (NBA) is investigating a report alleging that the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers made racist remarks.
In a recording posted on celebrity news website TMZ, a man it says is Donald Sterling is heard asking a woman not to broadcast her association with black people nor bring them to games.
The NBA described the remarks as "disturbing and offensive".
Mr Sterling later told TMZ the recording "does not reflect his views".
On Sunday, US President Barack Obama said the alleged comments were "incredibly offensive racist statements".
"When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk," Mr Obama said.
'Black eye for the NBA'
TMZ published the 10-minute audio recording on its website on Friday.
Mr Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings”
Joint statement from Donald Sterling and the Clippers
The conversation is alleged to have taken place after the woman posted a photo of herself online with the basketball legend, Magic Johnson.
The man specifically mentions Magic Johnson on the recording, saying: "Don't bring him to my games, OK?"'
It was not clear how or when the conversation was recorded.
"We are in the process of conducting a full investigation into the audio recording obtained by TMZ," NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement.
"The remarks heard on the recording are disturbing and offensive, but at this time we have no further information."
Magic Johnson later responded on Twitter, saying: "I will never go to a Clippers game again as long as Donald Sterling is the owner."
He also said the alleged comments were "a black eye for the NBA".
In a joint statement later published on TMZ Sports Mr Sterling and the Clippers said: "We have heard the tape on TMZ. We do not know if it is legitimate or it has been altered."
"We do know that the woman on the tape - who we believe released it to TMZ - is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family.
"Mr Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings. It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life."
The statement adds: "He feels terrible that such sentiments are being attributed to him and apologises to anyone who might have been hurt by them."
Mr Sterling bought the Clippers in 1981.

ReplyDeleteThey don't really care abt us.
I've listened to that recorded convo over n over again n to be frank there is no indication of racism rather it's that of a pained n frustrated lover man.
ReplyDeleteAnyone wld hav had such first reaction if ur gf tells u she admires someone else who is obviously more admirable than u.
For the 1st time on sdk blog I agree with you. blacks are extremely sensitive, but are very racist too even among themselves.
Delete@Mamie are you sure you listened to the whole conversation.Just in your delusional state of being white than snow.
Delete@Naturelle,you are in agreement with a dimwit.Do you really understand what these words "race,racism and racist" mean.Going by your last words,I strongly have a comtrary opinion.
It's so funny because the so-called girlfriend is half mexican, half-black. And the pig is still legally married. Hmmmm, how ironic.
ReplyDeleteLook at u all, jumping to judge the man. He is racist, u r tribalists. What difference is there? OK I forgot, he got caught on tape while u hide under anonymous... Nigerians who r full of hate and cannot love one another forming ...hurt by his words...

DeleteWhat makes him different from Mamie and co? Always hating on Yorubas?
ReplyDeleteWat is he apologizing for he' s not serious. He' s made those statements and now watch him get in some deep shit for it esp since obama's heared about it. Nonsense. Racist oshi!
ReplyDeleteWhite monsters! Who cares about the white? I can't even imagine kissing a white man eww! When my bff was dating a white guy, I told her that she's really a strong woman oo, because I can never do that. So while they feel superior, they should know there is an igbo girl out there who will never ever touch their skin, because to me, they look like parboiled cow meat.
ReplyDeleteYou are just dumb n stupid!!
DeleteThe question is if they will date you. Na so una dey talk but if ordinary lebanese as much as says hi to you,you go throw party!
Delete@ Susie, You are not different from the man, same hate, different skin. Your comment is highly distateful , full of hate and totally shows your stupidity and ignorance. Remember the adage that says remove the log from your eye before removing a toothpick from your neighbor's
DeleteWe hate ourselves n d whites feed on it. Yet we scream racism wen dey make comments dat reeks of it. A black woman bleaches to a point of dismay n is so proud of it. Wen stella uses a black lady as beauty of d day we all condemn her, wen she's all bleached up we say she is pretty. We make dark-skin qurls feel uqly n dey wanna wash dat off @ all cost. Smh... Blacks think worst of themselves!
ReplyDeleteUseless narrow minded old fool.. Without the blacks, would he be where he is now or have all he has? Bastard man and I hope his biracial gf leaves him. All whites are not racist only the uneducated shallow minded ones!!
ReplyDeleteEvry mallam to hs kettle,we hv mre important issues to tackle in our OWN country biko. EVE E UME
ReplyDeleteThe comments were taken out of context....the bitch is even married, total smear campaign!
ReplyDeleteObama classic!!...worried it came out in a lawsuit tho. .sounds a bit malicious..so if they had no beef this wouldn't have surfaced..
ReplyDeleteYep!!.. US has racism..we have tribalism and we get away with it cos of our skin..
Those tribalist here and on LIB..your mirror image is Sterling!!
If not for his money,why would any reasonable person want to be associated with this old racist that is close to his grave?this is beyond jealously as stated by mamie but an unending hate for the blacks.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to racially insult someone more famous than you, at least be better looking.
ReplyDeleteDid this baba just wake up from the dead??? Rotten face. Mtcheeeew.
ReplyDeleteRacist people don't see themselves as racists.
ReplyDeleteTribalistic people don't see themselves as tribalistic.
They will always reason using "arguments by assertion."
The man is old and still stuck in the KKK era.

Stella - NBA announces lifetime ban, $2.5 million fine for L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling for alleged racist comments.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this Sterling matter is just a distraction from the fact that the Democrats and other so called liberals in Hollywood are about to take our internet.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that Harvey Levin from TMZ a gay Jew is doing the dirty work for liberal secular Jewish Democrats. This is the beginning of a Jewish liberal war on Republicans.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg are all Jewish supporters of Obama who as C.S Lewis referred to as the claasic do-gooders like we have come to expect from most left-wing liberals who want to rid the world of guns...upsized sodas and oil including the Keystone pipeline and a free internet.
We also know that a very Jewish and post hippy Hollywood descriminated against Conservative Script writers for over 30 years.

What marks out the tyranny of the way these people operate is that which marks the left of politics and liberal donors.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C.S. Lewis"
But essentialy these attacks on the freedom of the internet are about money and the operations of lobbyists, where....essentially Hollywood is behind the reforms to give away the last controls of the internet including the hire of the lobbyist Robert Holleyman.
http://boingboing.net/2014/04/23/obama-official-responsible-for.html
After a public outcry this decision to give away the last controls of the internet looks to be on hold but now the FCC is stepping in and destroying a free internet after failing to take control of newsrooms. They now are talking about a censorship fast lane.

This after the FCC failed to put monitors and censors in every news room.
http://foxnewsinsider.com/2014/02/19/govt-monitors-newsrooms-fcc-look-media-decision-making
Americans need to realise how militant the left is and how influential these Liberal donors are. If they supported the giving away of the internet so that they could attack piracy behind the scenes then they likewise support attacks on a free internet and create the tools to enliven political censorship with the Obama administration working behind the scenes to attack opponents. These FCC reforms are part of this...moving into this direction.
We see how the Obama administration has used the federal beauracracy to attack opponents. Who is to say that this new FCC proposal for a fast lane will not use information supply with deals behind the scenes to do the same and attack political opponents. Obama is always meeting behind closed doors with the media or Silicon Valley giants. It will happen and it is a disgrace as Google has already proved itself to be left in politics. They are all do-gooder tyrants where we would be better off under robber barons.
What is Google and Facebook getting out of this new FCC proposal?
What we know for sure is that the left wing silicon valley giants cannot be trusted along with the FCC. They will use the do-gooder justifications to fight against piracy to take away a free internet and you can take that to the bank. Read the quote from C.S Lewis again.
