V. Stiviano told Barbara Walters she was Sterling's "silly rabbit". She and Sterling have been together after this came out. Sadly like "The House of the Rising Sun" its been the ruin of many a poor boy and lord I know I'm one. Are rabbits kosher?

Well so much for the interest in Flight 370 or Putin's takeover of Ukraine we now have community activists large and in charge.

Shall I look up every raciest remark these community activists have said? Let's start with Jesse 'Hymietown' Jackson. I'll play the game even though the beast controls the board.

Completely irrelevant. Just because other people are also racist doesn't make it okay for this person to be racist as well.

Such an effective tactic to shut a group that is historically marginalized in society up about racism by simply pointing out some of their people are also 'racist' like that somehow excuses your own racism.

And to think that other people here just a few months ago tried to argue that racism is over in the United States.

This isn't about racism; this is about a little love spat between Sterling and his "silly rabbit" with whom he is in love. One who listed to the entire tape would know this.

The "silly rabbit" said
“I think Mr. Sterling is from a different generation than I am. I think he was brought up to believe these things … segregation, whites and blacks,” Stiviano said. “But through his actions he’s shown that he’s not a racist. He’s shown to be a very generous and kind man.”

Sterling has a black head coach who said the owner doesn't interfere in the running of the team. Sterling has and was about to receive an award form the NAACP. Last but certainly not least he has a black "archivist".

I watched a snipet on the news tonight with Ms. V. She stated she was the one who recorded the ove spat. But she has no idea who leaked it. But that has no bearing on the fact that she also stated he has used racist terms in the past. I realize that in a court of law thats (hearsay ?).

Yes people can change, Some also dont. But he should not get a pass beacuse hes rich. And its another thing to know your boss actually is a racist. Than having a suspicion.

That Sterling family is one slick bunch. The, not that "estranged", Mrs. Sterling is throwing a monkey wrench into the community activist's plans. She rightly claims that she is 1/2 owner of the Clippers and can't be forced to sell because of something she did not do.

I love it; feminism verses community activism.

If anyone says they, in private, never said anything derogatory about a person or persons because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex/orientation is a liar. Don't forget these phone conversations were also illegally recorded.

In the state of Oklahoma only one party need give permission for recording.

So I do not know what it is like in the other 49 states but in Ok

always be polite.

I believe we all have enough skeletons in our closets to be thrown under the train. Even so in this day and age a person in the public eye must be very careful of every word that comes out of his/her mouth or that gets written or that is posted in an email or on some social media. The hounds are out there nipping at our feet waiting for just one slip of the tongue. The higher up in the social order you are the more careful you must be. That is unless you don't give a damn about the repercussions.

Let me put my toe in the water here.

Racism. Now only those who perceive they have been so offended generally bandy that term about. Wave it around like a flag.

Some here have called me that. And it is simply not true.

I have some very strong thoughts about one class of people here in the states. And that is those who are not here legally.
That is all.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with expressing one's dissatisfaction with the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of illegals here in my country who are sucking up social services and tax dollars at my expense.

That is not being racist. I don't care what race or religion.

I have told you all before that I am the son of German immigrants. Who came here by the book. They did not sneak across the border, grab a fake green card and apply for welfare. Some of you complainers don't have a clue what it took back at that time to come to this country and legally apply for citizenship.
I know. I heard it directly from my grandpapa a couple of times. It was NOT an easy thing.

And yet, my father had some interactions with a FEW African Americans while in the navy that convinced him that there was such a thing as a n****r. But he still would not label the entire race as such. And he taught me that.
Take each and every human being and let them label themselves.
It shall be apparent to most what they are by what they say and do.

A couple of weeks ago, I had been into my cups as usual, and went for a walk down the street to survey the wreckage that the sewer construction project was doing to my street. A few houses down, another homeowner was doing the same.
And he happened to be Mexican. We had a lengthy conversation. And when it was all said and done, he was walking back to his house, and abruptly turned back to me and said....

'Mark, you have been more kind to me than anybody in 5 years since I moved in here. Thank you.'

This kinda floored me at that point, because I had never thought that there were any problems with relations between neighbors on my street. This is an old neighborhood. I am probably one of the oldest living people on my street, having been here for some 34 years. And I now have a new friend.

So...back to the original point....
Throw the first stone.
Best know there shall be some tossed back at you if you do.

He will, of course, lose all his land in a Civil Proceeding. Where it should have been.

And then the government will have to come back with guns to enforce the eviction order and the who thing happens again.

Next time the government won't issue a press release first.

I agree the man is a raciest, but how does that make him wrong on the other issues?

Does that not make you all raciest in a way by dismissing what he has to say just because he is wrong on one issue? Makes no sense to me, you hate him because he hates others. Very stupid logic if you ask me...

It's not an Eviction. It's an Attachment, according to the Lawyers. Basically means he cannot sell, nor borrow (out of the Ranching Business). Basically losing his property.
Isn't it government land that the ranchers have been grazing on for years for free? Now the government wants them to pay to graze on the land.

What novel idea having to pay to use someone else's property. That surely is govt. overreach.

Most of the land in the western USA was originally purchased by the US government from France or taken from Spain or the so called native Americans. So in that sense it is government owned land. When the west was opened up for settlement the railroads were given vast tracts as an incentive to build the tracks. A lot of land was practically given to people who would settle on and farm the land.

As far as the term "native American" is used it is a misnomer. There are no native Americans, we all got here from somewhere else. Humans did not evolve in the western hemisphere. The so called native Americans came from Siberia and moved down the west coast of North America and spread further south and inland. So, they were here first. There are many instances throughout eurasia where the first settlers were displaced by later stronger groups of people. So, what the white man did in America is little different than events elsewhere like the viking conquest of england.

Also. DNA from these Immigrants, on the East Coast of North America, show the influence from what is now Spain. Possibly using an 'Ice Bridge' (extended polar ice cap) from Western Europe, 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

Additionally. The first people to settle the America's (Southern/Central South America) were not from Siberia, Europe, nor Africa.

Well, technically we are all from africa, like it or not. I have seen and read that it is likely that settlers in central and south america came across from micronesia on rafts or in canoes but I didn't think it had been scientifically proven.
