theres a difference between racist and making an observation
i kinda agree with The7even
i think because of how communities segregate themselves its more about that race in a specific area. but 50km away the people in general are completely different.
if an area is more ghetto/thug it will drive the more stable people out and attract more of the "thug" type." in the case of Chicago that is largely Black populated and lets not beat around the bush. there are stereo type that have been set based on behavior and when that behavior is accepted into a community it becomes the norm.
this goes for ever race specific community. how people conduct themselves will be different based on who surrounds them and influences them
Yeah, not even a race thing. I'd say .. shit, 100% of Africans I've met were incredibly nice people.

I love it when clearly racist people try to pretend they aren't in order to make a point. Stand by your biggotry The7even, I remember distinctly how racist your posts have been in the past on this board, you're the last person who should be posting on this subject.

So what you're saying is.. I'm a racist who is vocal about it.. and now I'm .. trying to pretend to be otherwise.. while also being racist.
Got it.
The only reason you remember me being racist is because what I said hurt your little girly feelings. Oh shit, I said "girly" feelings, I'm sexist too.

everyone just shut up and watch that. if you have anything else to say after, say it.
if not, then done.
he addresses all the ACTUAL aspects of reality when you DEAL with people.
all you racist name callers... do you guys deal with people? do you guys actually know how people work or are you just judging by some subjectively skewed personal value that you were taught in elementary school?
this is reality.
he got baited, he got fucked.
like the video guy says... regardless of what he says, that is in his own private conversation.
and WE ALL have these conversations in the private of our own places. If i recorded and baited any one of you guys in the private of your own home or whatever.... i could easily get racist remarks from you. easily.
and again... like he says.
i'd never side with a fucking whore over a man.
bros before hoes... he's not as low as a gold digging self absorbed WHORE. period.
racism is the KKK. it's going out and causing pain and grief to a specific race for the purpose of cleansing and promoting your own genes.
how many times have you chinese swore under your breath and mutter something about god damn gwailos? or ah chas or whatever.
we're all fucking "racist".
why do you think we have our own cultures? and our own countries and traditions? why didn't we all just merge together long ago and live as one human culture?
the basis of being proud of one's own race/tradition/culture, is the BASIS of racism.
to see yourself as one thing, and other people as something else.
almost all humans follow these rules of life.
and for those oblivious or super righteous (ironic) of us that don't... well a lot of other people do. so there you go. we're all racist. whether you like it or not.
the very basis of you guys pointing fingers and calling racism, is labeling. racism is also another form of labeling.
one person dislikes blacks, one person dislikes racists, one person dislikes homos, another person dislikes geeks.
what the fuck is the difference? you can dislike whatever you want. as long as we dont act on it and purposely try to HURT someone for those reasons for our personal gratification. it's all ok.
just fucking watch the video. that nikka got lots of smart things to say. lots of valid points which represent the other side of the conversation.
all you other nikkas just pointing fingers, yelling hate words back at a hater (again, how ironic), and throwing tomatoes and wanting to watch someone burn.
you guys have no actual valid points when it comes to encompassing the WHOLE situation, not just basing everything on the audible sounds that came out of his mouth during that recording.

Holy fuck...ppl were saying a billion is a lot. now Ballmer is balling...lol
This may be a stupid question, but would Sterling get the entire sale amount since he "owns" the clippers, or does the league/other people get a cut too?
as far as i know, the NBA is going to block the deal... any sale requires NBA board of governors approval, and on june 3 the NBA will try to seize control of the clippers and also the sale process of it
so any sale before June 3 will be blocked, so sterling can't have control/maximum profits from it... i'm sure sterling will still get the majority of the money from a sale after june 3, it's just that he won't have a say in it

He had better get every cent that comes from the sale of the team. The league, by forcing a sale, is already penalizing him from making any money off the team (either through normal operations or a sale several years down the road where he might get more).
Think of that couple in Coquitlam who kept suing over parking spaces and the judge ordered them to sell their condo and move out. It's bad enough to have to sell and move, but in no way should they be forced to sell an asset that they own and on top of that lose a percentage of it.
I wonder if the league even has the authority to seize control of the team. Usually that's something you see when a team goes bankrupt or is having difficulties maintaining day-to-day operations. As much of an ass as Sterling might be, I'm not sure that his comments are enough for them to legally seize control. I'm sure it would make a lot of people happy (who are looking for blood and want to see Sterling punished somehow), but just because you're an ass doesn't mean you should lose your rights (in this case, ownership of an asset).
