so some folks are trying to spin Larry Johnson's comments as just as bad as Sterling's![]()
Through the years, his racism has been sometimes subtle and often overt. For those failing to understand why a racist like Sterling never preferred white players, it cut to the heart of his stereotypical stances on athleticism and strength and talent.
Mostly, he's never loved paying white players. In that way, he has an absolute plantation prism with which he sees players: He always preferred long, strong, physical players. To him, that's a basketball player: Big, black and strong.
When Sterling became reluctant to honor Rivers' sign-and-trade agreement for J.J. Redikk, there was a belief race played a factor. As one league source said, "He thought it was too much to pay for a white player."
Yes, Sterling didn't want to so easily part with Eric Bledsoe, despite Rivers telling him they could never afford to pay Bledsoe in restricted free agency next summer. That was part of it, yes, but those who knew Sterling – who had history with him – believed largely that his disdain for paying $7 million per year for a white player caused him pause.

Stopped reading after this.
For you not to see the parallels between the thought process of slave owner and the beliefs of a modern day and court proven institutional racist who views black people as a sub category in humanity shows how dim witted you are and why the rest of your post is an unnecessary read.
dont know if this has been posted yet but somebody should surely take this into consideration, although it'd get a lot of backlash from white people. Blacks run the NBA and theres no doubt about it, why work for a white man when most of them could be racist just like sterling
He really is a slave owner b/c no slave owner would've brought in a white slave over a black slaveSterling is a racist Darwinist as well.![]()
And whose going to pay those enormous salaries?
