LA Clippers owner, "Don't bring black people to my games"

Can't embed the audio, but go to the link if you want to hear it.

Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF -- Don't Bring Black People to My Games ... Including Magic Johnson | TMZ.com

-------

Now am I the only one on the entire interwebs that doesn't think this guy is racist? To me it just seems like he is a weak man who has friends who are racists and they are the ones making fun of him because his girlfriend is a minority and takes pictures with minorities? Therefore, he is embarrassed because all of his friends are badgering him about it.

He clearly stated he has no problems with minorities and he doesn't care if she hangs out with minorities, he just doesn't want her to post pictures of her with them because it seems like his friends are heckling him about it.

Like he said, he's from a different era and the people he associates with have that mindset of that era. To me, he seems like those caucasians in the south who protect minorities, but don't want their friends to know.

That's just me though. Thoughts?

Yes, you're the one person on the internet that's clueless enough to not see that he's racist.

His 'girlfriend' is a hooker.

He's not "weak," he's worth $2 billion.

His friends opinion isn't an excuse, if that's the reason (it's not).

Who cares?

His girlfriend must have gotten not enough money so she decided to fuck up his business by recording his racial comments. Blame Sterling for trusting his girlfriend.

ODoes racism have degrees to it then?
Because wouldn't a racist not want her to have any association with minorities at all?
He clearly states, that he knows and likes minorities, said she could house them, feed them, even f*ck them. His only request is she not post pictures on instagram with them.

I'm thinking he said this because his friends might be at the games. It just seems he just cares more about what his friends think. That seems like that is his main issue, what his friends think of him.

A racist treats someone different from them differently. Maybe there are degrees of racism but it doesn't change the fact that he's a big fat racist.

Maybe he has racist friends but someone that isn't a racist would probably tell his friends they can go fuck themselves.

am i the only one that gets what he's saying.

he's saying theoretically there's nothing wrong with minorities. but in real world applications, people act certain ways and perceive and stereotype people by the race they are. and a man of his reputation and stature, a lot of business is by reputation. and if he feels the people he works with will make his life harder because of those "broadcasts" then he will likely not want those kind of broadcasts... well, broadcasted. it hurts his reputation regardless of whether he cares or not. and in his business reputation matters.

its just the reality of things.
there's two extremes of image and caring about what other people think... one is a slight insecurity, but you're only insecure because you're able to perceive the negative effects of how others perceive you. and if you care about your image, then obviously it matters. regardless of whether you feel racist or not.

imagine if you were working on wall street. you can imagine the people u work with. and then your gf who's widely known as your gf starts bringing her gay friends to your parties and taking pics with gays. even if you're not anti homo, you know your work is gonna give you a hard time about it. so naturally you'd tell your gf to stop making your life harder. those things don't need to be "broadcasted". there's gonna be a reaction.

yes, you shouldn't care. but the real world doesn't work like that. there is always a reaction.

if you care about your career, you have to play by the rules of that career (which is made up of what other people in that field think). reputation and imagery amongst your field of work is everything if that is your passion.

all it is, is keeping the balance of security amongst the group you're associated with.


edit: oops, peanutbutter pretty much has the same perspective i do. when a person has a hyper sensitivity of detecting the balance and comfort of others (even if it's an insecurity of others), you just can't help but feel bad if you upset the balance. that's all it is. you don't wanna be the party pooper. and you recognize that even though these other people have insecurities, that's just their value system and the way they live their life. and you have no right to be righteous and say that they are absolutely WRONG. it's just another way of life. it's better to just keep the balance and not bring trouble to your own life. especially when no one is getting physically harmed.

correct me if i'm wrong, but he's bitching about pics of his gold digger gf posting pics of her with black people, he's not involved in these pics other than her association with him

given what she is, i think he's already killed his image, he's 81, she's a fruit loop fake titted gold digging 20 or 30 something year old... the whole situation is a nasty one with nasty people involved.

rich or not, this guy is disgusting

he also has a history of racist remarks, these comments have not shocked those in so. cal., more of just a facepalm 'not again' moment

everyone has felt what he has felt man...

another example is if you're a jock and all your friends are jocks and you start bringing and hanging out with philosophers all the time, and you didn't give a fuck of what other ppl thought... you're only gonna push yourself further away from your group.

so it just comes down to value system. if you value the group your with, or if you value your own value systems more (in some ways more egotistical cuz you care for what you feel over the group).

the vice versa can be said... if you were a geek and all your friends were geeks, and then suddenly you start hanging with hardcore G's. your group is gonna slowly push you out.

and from my own research, about 50% of the population care more about the group, and 50% care more about their own value system. so really who's right? there is no absolute objective cosmic "right". it's just a method of evolution. no one is right or wrong. it's just how you perceive the situation.

guilty by association. you are who your crew is. doesn't matter how you feel. the public will always perceive it that way.

this is where politicians and governments are pro. they understand this. this is the basis of deception of manipulation. image and how public perceives you is everything.

this is just an example of politics. on the surface it's nice and clean. but if you found out what they were talking about and planning in their meetings, it would sound exactly what this guy is saying. it would all be about navigating and manipulation and worrying about public perception and trying to display other things that you're not, to gain ground and favour.

it's just a fucking game of life some people live by man.

all it is, is the ability to be compassionate, but you're hyper sensitive to the group you're part of, and your value systems dictate that you value group thought, and to not upset the balance. but you yourself don't wanna be ostracised, so you try control it by manipulation.

but if you're hyper sensitive to group thought, you're also hyper sensitive to political correctness on a global standard, that's why you TRY to keep it to yourself. cuz you know you're trying to play both sides. appear as cool guy to your group, and to the world, but the values conflict.

i'm not justifying what he has said at face value... i am just explaining the mechanics of his perception (which 50% of the populations shares)

I think ur taking too much from this. The fundamental piece of information is that is 50 yr younger gf is half black, half Hispanic (or something like that) - he's worried about his "crew" by association? I think the damage to his credentials is already done.
