Now I don't throw the term around loosely, BUT it in fact exists and we all know it. I find this guys comments very baffling and extremely distasteful and insulting as let's face it, his very team and the NBA as a whole are predominately black. Furthermore, here's a 80yr old White Guy whose married mind you, publicly dating a minority girl (Black & Mexican) in her 20's or 30's!

Condescending much...

TMZ revealed a recording early Saturday morning of what it says is Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling pathetically admonishing his girlfriend for “associating” with African-Americans – apparently she made the major mistake, in Sterling’s eyes, of posing for a photo with Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, a photo she later uploaded to her Instagram account.

It's a shocking and infuriating 9½-minute bit of tape that should embarrass the NBA and force new commissioner Adam Silver into action.

According to TMZ's recording, Sterling went on to chide his girlfriend, who is half-African-American and half-Mexican, for bringing African-Americans to Clipper games, even if those guests in question were of exalted status as Magic is, and even if she’s never done as much.

The recording is an absolutely depressing listen, to say the least. Here are some of the snippets, according to TMZ, from Sterling, who told his girlfriend V. Stiviano that he feels “very strongly” about her “broadcasting” the fact she briefly spoke and posed with a very famous black man:

-- "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?" (3:30)


-- "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)


-- "...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games." (9:13)

Donald Sterling is the NBA’s great shame, and now a major media outlet apparently has him on record as telling a woman – one that he obscenely disrespects throughout the entire exchange – that he doesn’t want African-Americans coming to his basketball games. Whether Sterling is sadly mixing up his words or only referring to Magic Johnson personally, or jealous of the brief attention his much younger girlfriend (Sterling is still married to another woman, mind you) received isn’t the point – the point is that the NBA has to do something about its biggest problem.

This is indefensible. Sterling’s treatment of this woman is execrable enough, but the clear intent of his message and what’s simmering just underneath what he actually lets out should be enough to force what has previously been a spineless league (regarding the Clippers' owner) into action. The Clippers could boast a lily-white roster and coaching staff, that part barely matters in relation to Donald Sterling – owner of an NBA team – being taped telling someone he doesn’t want African-Americans at his basketball games.

Fight with his girl, heat of the moment, jealous as hell – it does not matter.

This is Silver’s first great task. He’ll have to balance the interests of a small team-owning few versus the respect of hundreds of millions. This, like Donald Sterling, is a no-brainer.

In his defense, that muskrat he has on his head probably ate into his brain.

Sterling was, is, and always will be an asshole.

[M_Six]

I was wondering what the hell that was. What a POS.

Damn I'm just hearing the whole conversation on TMZ of Donald and his gf. Racism so deep and ingrained in this guy. I honestly don't think he respects black people at all. He tries his best to be politically correct but I think his ownership of an NBA team is more like modern day slavery in which he still feels he owns black people.

That is an interesting assessment. And probably not to far off his mindset.

Did anyone notice that he was ok with her sleeping around?

Indeed. How about sitting Courtside with your girl toy while your wife has to watch on TV from home?

This guy exemplifies douchesackery!

[PINeely]

Get this man his white linen suit.

[jlstyle]

He probably buys players as chips and betting them as if they are not in same status as him.
They are just players he hires to play his game - just like how DiCaprio played Calvin in Django.
Good players just happen to be black people he looks down upon.

Of course, the girl, is also the same disposable item to him. No feeling attached.

[TrevorM3]

whats his girls name anyway?

[P1]

It sounds like the man is insecure, and is using racist remarks in order to put his girlfriend in place. He's being labeled as a racist, but how would a racist be able to date a girl half black and half Asian? That's confusing to me.

I guess exceptions can be made when it comes a man's needs haha

[BKap08]

I wouldn't be surprised if the players on the clippers boycott tomorrows game 4 after hearing this. Can you imagine how insane oracle arena is gonna be tomorrow night?!

[TXSTYLE]

The commissioner and multiple players have spoken on this. It continues to gain steam.
Think about this.... Chris Paul is the President of the players association and a of course the point guard for said Clippers.

[GarlicBread]

He won't be the owner as of next year

[NemesisX]

Why on earth is he allowed to have a girlfriend if he's married

[Devious21]

He thinks the world's going to look down on her for associating with black guys? I'm pretty sure the world is looking down on her for dating a married racist assh0le for his money.

[MediaArtist]

His wife will probably take ownership of the team (she's running the team practically anyway). What a ridiculous distraction to have, especially with the kind of contenders the Clippers are this year. This guy and Jerry Buss were besties too, and Buss actually pushed Sterling to buy the Clippers.

OMG, what an idiot!

[Roadkiller]
