Is Donald Sterling a racist? Issuing about the strongest rebuke that he could, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life Tuesday for making racist comments in a recorded conversation, the first step toward forcing a sale of the club and permanently removing Sterling from the league. Silver also fined Sterling $2.5 million, and again expressed outrage. "I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him," Silver said. I mean really? What did Donald Sterling do that was so bad? The man voiced his opinion? How is that wrong? It happens every day.
If were going to lower the boom and punish hard working Americans’, for having a voice, then lets not stop with Mr. Sterling. After all, this man was not only a millionaire, but he made millionaires’, so he can’t really be all that bad can he? The penalties, which were announced only three days after the scandal broke, are the harshest ever issued by the league and among the stiffest punishments ever given to an owner in professional sports. Silver said a league investigation found that Sterling was in fact the person on the audiotapes that were released over the weekend and immediately sent shock waves throughout the game.
Here is the hypocrisy, listen to Silvers comments. Now let’s see his daughter walk through the front door with a black boyfriend from Compton, LA’s most Notorious hard core black ganging banging neighbor hood, and see what kind of comments he might make? I'll be honest right now, I don’t want my beautiful daughter dragging in some black thug either. Yet, Adam Silver makes his "I love black people holier then thou stand"? "We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling's views," Silver said. "They simply have no place in the NBA.” Really? Nigga-Please? What, Black people say this all the time, is that offensive? Should I not say Nigga Please? Why? It’s just slain; I mean everyone says it right? So for me, that just about says it all. NIGGA PLEASE!
So, is Donald Sterlings Comments fair? Well let’s reach out?

I'm black and I'm tired of seeing black people have all this
hate in them towards white people smh we just use this incident to justify our
hate smh. But here's what God's word says : Don’t rejoice when your enemies
fall; don’t be happy when they stumble. For the lord will be displeased with
you and will turn his anger away from them. (Proverbs 24:17, 18 NLT)
Hummmm, Interesting…

Amen, brother!! I totally agree man! We shouldn't be celebrating
his demise, but praying for him to change his heart! God still loves us when we
made mistakes and some of us have done worse things than this, yet we are
forgiven, so why are we so quick to condemn him?
Then there is this guy.
3.
Heck, they should have banned him from the country!!!
So here
is the deal, do you feel this was handled fairly?
The league also plans to force the sale of the
team. Silver's penalties against Sterling
come a few days after TMZ Sports and Dead spin acquired alleged audio
recordings of the 80-year-old owner making racist comments to his girlfriend,
V. Stiviano. Silver, during his 2 p.m. press conference, said he interviewed Sterling about the tapes,
adding the owner's views were deeply offensive and harmful, and "that they
came from an NBA owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage."What's your take on the announcement? Were the penalties fair? Too -harsh?
So in
my personal opinion, I believe that Adam Silver catered to popular opinion and
folded like a cheep tent to cater to the black community in America. Why? Because
this is his pay check, and the majority of his audience and players are black
and he knows this. It was a media move period. I’m a PR (Public Relations) man,
I know public relations like the back of my hand, and today’s media is very
liberal, meaning that most blacks are Liberal Democrats and the NBA knows it audience.
Bottom line, this punishment is completely up fare, and the freedom of speech
for Donald Sterling just went down the drain with the rest of the constitution
just like the rest of the American economy since Obama took office.
So it
ends here for me, there is no real life White Man, who wants to see his
Daughter or girl friend or any other beautiful White women, hooked up with some
Black Dude, no more then Black guys want to see some hot black chick hooked up
with some White guy. It just rubs everyone wrong, and anyone who says it just OK, is only lying to them self, because the truth is, it really is not just OK,
and it never will be ~ Donnie Bolena
