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

I aint talking about his dumb ass songs, I am talking about his obsession with materialism. Acting like wearing Ralphs and having Louis Vuittons is so fashion forward. He might be talking about "new slaves" but he still a slave to name (white) brands.
I was thinking today about how the Donald Sterling thing was an amazing blessing for the NBA. they got to take dramatic, decisive action to distance themeselves symbolically from a racist (whom they ignored for decades) while nonetheless continuing to perpetuate institutional racism of various sorts on a grand scale. Meanwhile, that racist, while widely deplored, will walk away with somewhere between 500 milly and a billy made off the labor of blacks. And though the Clippers will probably end up with an ownership team that includes a black person, nothing will have changed at all, and Silver can get back to forcing young nikkas to stay on the NCAA plantation system.
And to tie it to hip hop, I'm listening to a Madlib remix of Gangstarr's "Just To Get A Rep" and the sampled chorus stickup kids is out to tax really resonates in this context. "Brothers are amused by other brothers' rep/but the thing to know best is where the gun is kept... And some might say that he's a dummy/but he's sticking you, and taking all of your money..."

Watching this year's playoffs under the new Commish, I was completely convinced that the StageOffs had finally made an about face and changed their "We're gonna do what's best for the league." ways. It's apparent now that aint a damn thing changed. With this whole racism scandal by the Clippers Owner, watch how in the upcoming week and ESPECIALLY if they win the series against GS, Everyone - I mean everyone and they Grandma, Obama, The fukking Adam's family, and the aliens on Neptune gonna jump on the Clipper bandwagon and dikkride them nikkas all the way to the finals where they're big men will shyt all over The Heat in 6 games. The shyt is in stone get ready for the Silver era folks...
Looking good so far...

It's already firming, but the shyt will be solidified if the Clippers take the Championship; and I don't see why the NBA wouldn't do everything it could to make that happen. The media would hail it as one of the greatest moments in sports history, the fans and public will gobble it all up, and together they'll all join hands and skip through the streets singing "kumbaya"... a lot out there really didn't care, they just wanted to see the the playoffs. I had people on my fb sharing some stupid ass article calling people that proposed a boycott "faux-revolutionaries"

Report: Donald Sterling's Racism Almost Halted J.J. Redikk-LA Clippers Signing
If Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling had his way, J.J. Redikk would be playing for someone else.
Last July, when head coach Doc Rivers was handed the reins of Sterling's franchise, Redikk's arrival was considered a formality.
Until it wasn't.
Trade and contract talks hit a snag. That snag was a purported penny-pinching racist, who wanted no part in paying him, per USA Today's Sam Amick:
Sterling, the man whose racist comments sparked this whole furor, was believed to have had concerns about paying a white player that kind of money (four years, $27 million). He had once given white center Chris Kaman a five-year, $52 million deal, and how that contract panned out (or didn't, as Kaman played 195 games in the next four years of that deal and was traded to New Orleans with a year and a half left) appeared to be coloring Sterling's judgment on this deal. In a way, it was a mirror-image of the issue that would be front and center 10 months later.
Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski recounted a similar tale previously, one in which Sterling's bigotry took center stage.
"He thought it was too much to pay for a white player," a source told Wojnarowski.
Sounds about right.
Sterling's individual bias was well known long before TMZ released an audiotape of him making racially charged remarks to then-girlfriend V. Stiviano. This anecdote is merely an extension of his views and, sadly, not at all atypical.
While there's always the possibility this incident was drummed up in light of Sterling's recent lifetime ban, Redikk pretty much confirmed the story, via Amick:
I've been told both ways: one, that he didn't want to pay me because I was white, and that he didn't want to pay me because I was a bench player. I didn't know (the deal almost fell apart) until after the fact. I just got a weird phone call from Doc on July 4, and I got off the phone and said to my wife, "Something's going on." He's like, "You better play for me (expletive)." And I was like, "Yeah, that's the plan. We figured this out two days ago, right?"
And then he just rambled a bit. ...But he never really got into the nuts and bolts of what was happening. And then I got a call about 48 hours later from my agent, and he said, "We wanted to keep you out of it, but here's what happened."
What happened was Sterling. Again.
A dark shadow has been cast over the Clippers on his behalf for quite some time. He has always been the psychologically warped elephant sitting courtside, pulling strings from afar, his presence considered an obstacle rather than a catalyst.
Given all he's done, it's painfully ironic that this type of prejudice didn't seal Sterling's fate with the NBA before now. From housing discrimination to wrongful termination to his disdain for paying Redikk, Sterling has been accused of so many horrible things.
But it's not the lawsuits or his reported attempt to dissuade Redikk's arrival that did him in. It was essentially pillow talk that failed to confirm anything we didn't already know.
Like Bleacher Report's Dan Levy explained, Sterling's opinions weren't news:

Like Bleacher Report's Dan Levy explained, Sterling's opinions weren't news:
It is not news that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is a racist. It is news, however, when Sterling saying ridiculously racist things gets leaked to TMZ, who released a tape that claims to be the Clippers owner arguing with his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, about bringing black people to games with her and posing for pictures with other minorities on Instagram.
The real story here is Sterling's continued presence. What took the NBA so long to take action?
Better yet, why is Redikk even in Los Angeles, when he knew firsthand how damaging Sterling's unethical morals could be?
Somewhat lost in all this is the part players had in enabling Sterling. They, like the owners, knew what Sterling had been accused of; they knew who he was. Why play for him?
Because they don't actually play for him.
"I came here for Doc," Redikk said, per Amick. "I came here for Chris (Paul) and Blake (Griffin)."
That's why Redikk will stay. That's why other players will eventually come. That's why this franchise won't be wrecked by one individual and his depraved sense of morality.
Redikk joined the Clippers to win. He, like Rivers and Paul, became a Clipper and remains a Clipper in spite of who Sterling is and everything he represents.
Together, as a team, they are bigger than Sterling has ever been, or will ever be.
