[AUDIO] Donald Sterling - "Don't bring black people to my games" [AGREES TO SELL TEAM]

[E R 11 C]

Everyone is gonna have their own opinion about this. Yall jus gotta remember that we shouldnt be getting mad and attacking coaches, players or other individuals for speaking or not speaking their piece on it. Sterling is the villain here and the one that needs to held responsible.

Anyone here from Ja yet tho?

Money over Pride

Once you have a small piece of the pie you forget that you should be fighting for more than just THAT small piece.

10% fighting the 1%. these athletes ain't getting small pie in the grand scheme of society.....and individually they can't get paid more than an owner that takes all the risk. Playing ball opens them up to sponsors to make more money. If you invest their money....you can definitely create generational wealth and your fam doesn't have to deal with crap.

 

[UserNameless]

Yall want to know the saddest shyt?


While everybody (including me) is focusing on REMOVING STERLING from the team (like that's the big hoorah), when THIS should be the REAL list of demands:


1) We need a Co-Black Commissioner that's 50 / 50 with Adam Silver, and has 50% power (It wouldn't be fair to outright remove silver from office)

2) Within 3 years, we need 2 more black MAJORITY owners BESIDES Jordan (so there will be 3 total)

3) After there is 3 minority owners, there should be a push to have at least 10 (1/3rd) of the owners be minorities within 15 to 20 years. Basically ANYTIME an owner wants to sell, blacks should get first priority until there is 10 minority owners. And under performing owners should be persuaded to sell even if they don't want to.

4) The "Constitutional Bi-Laws" need to be altered with language that will make the IMMEDIATE removal of an owner who harbors these type of feelings (as well as other things, not just race) COMPLETELY LEAGAL, and the league couldn't be sued for it.



If yall don't meet / agree to work on THESE demands (and sign paperwork, not just a hand shake), we will sit out.



This should be the REAL goal... And not just removing sterling... But its a damn shame with these gutless nikkas this would NEVER happen..

Very ambitious. Was choppin' it up with a few folks, and reached a similar proposition. Shared it with some others and they just laughed on some, "let it go... you're dreaming."

I dunno... the backbone, the consciousness of the black community seems to be arthritic these days. The hope has atrophied. dunno if it's gonna be restored. It's just a different day in age.

I'm not really in the camp of wanting to call Doc and his players c00ns. I definitely wish he had done things differently. I'm disappointed, sure. But dude is in such an unenviable position... All of this points to a much more pressing issue that no on has cared to address for decades. Our leadership collapsed. We have nothing. We don't have prominent leaders who would call and advise Doc, offer strategies and support. Integration into the mainstream kind of worked the way a lot of private charter schools work - you pull the high achievers out of their community, deepening the depressing and perilous conditions of the already underfunded public schools. The private school kids go on to prep school, college, and a corporate job, only to feel completely disconnected from the dominant culture as well as the culture they were once familiar with. nikkas embraced that mythical American individualism bullshyt, went for self, and the support systems eroded. Yeah, Doc comes off as weak, and the Clippers' protest looks tepid... But who has their back, man? We can't even get intelligent, informed, uncompromising blacks on the air fam. Step back from the situation and let it marinate: the media's go-to voices on this were Stephen A. Smith, Shaquille, Charles Barkley, and Jalen Rose. Those brothers are a lot of things - amusing, raw, personable - but they aren't fit for the sort of commentary needed. The issues we face in society are bigger than basketball and rap, but our spokespeople barely exist beyond basketball players and rappers. And I'm sorry, jive ass Iron Mike Dyson and the mad Dr. Of Afros aka Cornyay West don't have the integrity to lead or inspire nikkas. The demise of black intellectual leadership is what puts Doc, CP3, and all of us in these lose-lose situations. nikkas lack guidance and clarity. And the demise of that shyt was not accidental.

Powerful... powerful, prolific posting.

Now we just need Josh Howard to speak out

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Doc cancelled practice, the gm 2morrow

Season over, hopefully Blake forces his way to a good situation.

No more Lob City

 

[Primetime21]

Doc cancelled practice, the gm 2morrow

partially, but reality is imo, many of these dudes have owned nba teams for years, they are all friends for the most part. Billionaire friends who probably lend each other money on the side, dudes who share common interests etc.

if you notice the owners who spoke out so far and condemned are either minorities (jordan, vivek), mickey arison who has lebron, wade, and bosh and carnival cruises and would be questioned and touch his money if he didn't speak.

peter **** a non jew who ofught in vietnam

all the old owners and other jewish owners are quiet as hell

I agree with this too because unless you disloyal who going to speak out on their friend? Most of us even if you disagreed with something your man did wouldn't probably publicly say something or not be hard on him. I think that's just life and we feel some type of way because of the power he holds besides the obvious stuff.

Chauncey Billups spoke that real shyt on SVP and Rusillo, he said he would've sat out because it's bigger than basketball. And they called him selfish and basically telling everybody to go to the game and don't boycott. Marcellus said he's not going to the game and Beadle and Kellerman practically called him an idiot for not going. ESPN is on that agenda shyt, are they broadcasting the game?

And in terms of people giving Doc Rivers credit, not saying that he's a complete sell out, but I always look at someone Black who decides to marry white women with and I get it that some people don't focus on race, but some, if not most people do. They burned his house down because of this, how can he talk to his wife about this and have her actually give a shyt? She doesn't share his experiences or his family's experiences with prejudice and racism.

Beadle has been a known racist for a minute.

Word is some nikka at UT hit it and quit back when she was in college and has hated nikkas since

I've been thinking a lot about the magnitude of this situation and how absurd it is that we're asking fukking Doc Rivers and Chris Paul to uphold the mantle of Rosa Parks here.

This story is of larger importance than the usual racial controversies we're used to, like Don Imus, Dog the bounty hunter etc. This is more than just a cracker saying some dumb shyt. This really shone a lot on a type of racism that isn't usual visible (though its consequences are) but no less insidious. We're used to Fox News style, rabid angry white man racism. It's become so inundated that it barely illicits a reaction anymore.

This is a little different. This isn't some uneducated white dude who perhaps got shafted by deindustrialization and neoliberalization like everybody else, but misdirects his anger toward blacks, gays, Mexicans or whoever. Sterling is a member of the ownership society...a 1%er...a rich Jewish Democrat. A lot of those dudes look at black people as an inferior servant class and its obvious, but they're usually savvy enough to not say it. It's like the stars aligned with his comments coming on the heels of the comments by that Yosemite Sam ass inbred cowboy in Nevada. We got the uncouth old-fashioned good ol boy version, then we got the elitist, Woodrow Wilson version.

I wouldn't have played if I was a Clipper. But I do empathize with the situation they're in. They're just dudes trying to follow their passion and get paid. They're in the middle of a playoff series trying to fight for what they prepared all season for, and they suddenly learn they're viewed as slaves by their employer, who they generate money for. They're thrust into that position in real time with the whole world watching while they're trying to win a championship. They didn't ask for that. But sometimes history calls on people. History is full of pivotal actions by people who didn't seek to make itbut ended up doing so by happenstance.

Sterling is a registered republican:

Donald Sterling is a Republican and has given money to Democrats. His politics don’t matter.

The clippers players are hoes.

They gotta look at themselves and wished they had done more.

 

[Skooby]

Everyone is gonna have their own opinion about this. Yall jus gotta remember that we shouldnt be getting mad and attacking coaches, players or other individuals for speaking or not speaking their piece on it. Sterling is the villain here and the one that needs to held responsible.

Anyone here from Ja yet tho?

 

[Reverend Jesse Jackson]

Donald Sterling REALLY DOESN'T CARE.

He didn't even issue a PR "apology" yet.

He is basically saying "YEAH I SAID IT. YOU CANT FIRE ME!"

 

[Icantspell]

The clippers will be sold to the NBA

 

[Reverend Jesse Jackson]

The clippers players are hoes.

They gotta look at themselves and wished they had done more.

CP3 and Blake Griffin demand trades

No one wants to sign, so they will have to give Swaggy P a max deal.

So are you saying if you get rich for too long you'd lose your sense of race reality? Maybe they just think differently even if I disagree people are allowed to think differently. Its disheartening depending in what it is but that's the way it is though.

why would a black millionaire give up taxes to some white in west Virginia?...doesn't make sense to be democratic when wealth get stifled. Blacks need to maintain money to compete and create generational wealth.


so what happens when broke white in the trailer park become rich? they lose their racial identity too, lol?!?!
the rule of thumb in society is don't hate on someone cause they are different. Racism seems like a bunch of kids in elementary school calling someone big head and not playing with them.

10% fighting the 1%. these athletes ain't getting small pie in the grand scheme of society.....and individually they can't get paid more than an owner that takes all the risk. Playing ball opens them up to sponsors to make more money. If you invest their money....you can definitely create generational wealth and your fam doesn't have to deal with crap.

My Overhanging point is in the fight to get that 1% self-awareness and dignity should still be intact. But greed gets in the way.
