Loose Lips Ship Clips
"So let's see: Donald Sterling's mistress takes Magic Johnson to a Clippers game. And, in the course of complaining about her swanning around with Magic Johnson, Donald Sterling makes some racist remarks. So they take the team away from Donald Sterling and transfer it to ...Magic Johnson. Gee, that's awfully neat." - Mark Steyn.
NOW I know why I usually avoid sports... especially biscuitball. Give me something simple, like Organic Chemistry. ;-)
I don't think its appropriate or just to censor anyone - no matter how stupid or illogical they may be. Let their arguments and their actions be the merits by which you choose to associate yourself with them - or not.
The part about this that gets me is that blacks are allowed to call each other derogatory terms like nigger, etc., but yet they deny anyone else the same privilege unless you have dark skin. Is that not in and of itself racist - not to mention hypocritical?
This is no different than the NFL refusing to allow Rush Limbaugh to buy ownership in an NFL franchise. It's reprehensible censorship.
Just a silly thought, but will there be someone standing guard at his house to keep him from viewing the Clipper's games on TV?
So big brother's, or in this case, sistah's, recording was the thing that should give us all chills. No privacy. Zilch. This is dystopian in the extreme. I cannot imagine doing this to anybody. Especially not to my husband. What we express to each other in private remains so. Private. What a deceitful thing to do. Even if Stirling is a horse's ass.
I prefer Voltaire.
He is a starter now. Finally! Sterling didn’t think he was worth his contract because JJ is white. So Sterling racist rants knows no boundaries. Lol. .Now, that I have a selfish motive for seeing the team succeed without Sterling, I say if Oprah wants to get rich people like Magic Johnson interested in the team, more power to her, just as long as JJ is playing and is happy.
Go Clippers! Lol.
No. I'm not kidding.
To those saying that this is trivial, I strongly disagree.
My point is that we have reached a point where if a person is labeled a racist, a term used as a cudgel with impunity by the Ruling Class, then that person is deemed by society no longer worthy of the right to property.
To the point of millions of dollars.
This is no longer censorship or boycott, this is distopia, this is fascism.
I apologize for quoting myself, but:
Survivors old look on in fear
at what they see once more:
a Ruling Class that's risen up
and what each held in store.
With ev'ry demagogic word
they think, “How long before
the ‘useful’ smash the windows in,
paint ‘TEABAG!’ on the door?”
Political sticks, rhetorical stones -
this “Scorched Earth” that's the new “New Tone”
is how each gulag gate is grown -
political sticks, rhetorical stones.
Another way to put it might be:
First they came for the racists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a racist.

Welcome to the CIRCUSES where you have to pay $12.95 for a slice of pizza bread and a beer.
He opened his mouth and got caught.
The NBA is a private organization and they can punish someone for smearing the brand.
He got caught. Why shouldn't he be held responsible for his actions?
