Tired of hearing people talking about that he is a 'known racist' especially people of power in the NBA. If these cats known this for years why is Donald Sterling still an owner?

First post, first dap. Thanks Breh
Congrats breh, you also get your first neg.
Why? Because fukk you that's why
because it's voluntary slavery. it's like the blacks that walked back to the plantation to be share croppers to build some money. they was looked at the same....but least they got paid and din't have to be whipped.
when ya don't get ya 40acres and a mule....it's hard to participate in life because you have nothing people value. lack of reparations caused this mess.
Also...the negro leagues not merging in MLB caused a problem and brothas ran to the white man instead of asking to add-on the teams they owned. They wanted to be apart of the game instead of sit at the table.
Ya'll really need to lay off the players & coaches
Lets make sure our emotions are being direct at the right people right now and not lose focus
It makes me sick that this has warped into half the board going at CP3, Doc, etc - that is simply NOT constructive

allowed to...ughI dapped your post because it's very coherent, and honest, and I feel all of it. The problem is that I think them doing what you and others request would have damaged their contracts, so while it may have felt good temporarily, it would have hurt them in the long-run. They were never going to do this
What gets me about that photo is that, the way I heard it, the white boy wanted to be part of the protest, but was vetoed, so he wore something in support of the two brothers. Since Doc said he was the only one who was going to speak for the team on this matter, it's possible that Doc is the one who orchestrated the warm up protest and told them they the NBA would allow them to wear black socks and black armbands in protest but anything else would fukk up the rest of their lives in the league? They became the white boy who wanted to also make a bolder gesture, but wasn't allowed to. You do what you can. Even Luz Long didn't throw middle fingers at Hitler, he did one better by treating Jesse like a human being and a brother in front of Der Fuhrer.
And like others said, it's kind of wrong to place this on the players, when it's the Commissioner and the other owners and the league itself which should be making the biggest statement.
The warm up photos have made international news. We'll see what happens for the next game.
Oh"My name is Bennett, and I ain't in it" = other owners stating that they are not like Sterling
thats like the dude from Pulp Fiction who said to Jules and Vincent "My name is Paul and that shyt is between y'all "
One of the thing that makes you really sick is Donald sterling has benefitted greatly from being around blacks for 32 years, his pockets have got fat even with a crappy product and still. To harbour all that hayw is disgusting
Exactly! Donald Sterling ugly wife kept it 100 & didn't even give a damn if he fukked other bytches until he started being disrespectful showcasing the new girlfriend at Clippers games. This old, wrinkled Jew screwed himself by confiding & completely trusting a known gold digger & making her his sidepiece.
What power did Stern have? He worked for Sterling and most of his dirt was done outside the basketball world. It's up to the other owners to oust Sterling an dthey have their own skeletons.Maybe a few owners have the same thoughts

Like I said:
For me, continuing to watch the NBA a year from now with Sterling still the owner would be the EQUIVALENT of watching slaves in the field picking cotton, and I got my pop corn like
"Damn yo look at that slave right there! Number 22!... Look how fast he picked that shyt! ... 101 cotton balls to 85.... It's a blow out mane!"
Watching the NBA with Sterling still at the helm would be EXACTLY like that for me going forward...
I don't know about yall, but I'm not really into watching the "Real Slave Wives of Alabama" ... No Thanks

I'm a South Korean (living in the states now) and although I cannot even think of attempting to understand the prejudice and discrimination African Americans have to deal with historically and still today on day to day basis, I just wanted to tell you a story about POSCO (a SK gov't owned steel maker) because I believe there could be some parallels regarding reparations and ownership.
S.Korea had been attacked and colonized by the Japanese for 36 years in the early 20th century. There were massacres and cultural attacks (banning of native Korean language in text books, burning of national treasures, etc) and as you'd all know we were freed in 1945 in large parts because of the Hiroshima bombings - Korean vigilants have also fought hard against Japan, though.
Fast forward 23 years, in 1968, SK still was in dire economy (GDP of $195, poorer than Ghana) and they were in need of an independent steel maker to support their plans to be an industrialized economy. However, due to heavy upfront investment needed and SK's inexperience, the IMF and other multinational funds refused to lend credit to SK.
TJ Park, a former military officer who was in charge of the project (grandfather of my best friend as well), had gone to Japan a few years ago to demand reparations from Japan with then SK president CH Park (no relation) and got some portion of the money back from the Japanese govt (it was mostly the money Japan illegally withdrew from Korean banks, wages not paid to Korean workers, etc and didn't include compensation for damages but it was still something). So he turn to a portion of the reparation money to fund the steel mill and vowed with his co-workers that since that they're using the money his people have died for, if there's an iota of BS involved with the steel mill, they all will have to jump in the ocean in kill themselves.
With this level of determination, the first phase of POSCO was successfully completed and was profitable after just one year of operation, which is unheard of still to this day. Now it's the top 5 steel maker in the world with over $60billion in revenues. And the founder TJ Park, retired with not a single stock to his name and donated all his money, even the house he lived in, to charity. During his tenure at POSCO, he also founded a highly prestigious Tech college (MIT of Korea) and more than 10 high schools all of them with generous financial aid benefits.
I know I'm an outsider looking in, and I'm trying to be very careful because I don't want to come off wrong in any manner but I just wish, as a minority and and as part of a people who went through injustice and discrimination, that African Americans had this kind of leadership and economic ownership as well.
