Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Doesn't Want Black People At His Games (Caught On Tape)

By Anonymous -

Donald Sterling says his girlfriend should not publicize her friendship with Magic Johnson or other minorities: "It bothers me a lot if you want to broadcast that you are associating with black people."

 

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been caught on tape telling his girlfriend not to publicly associate with minorities or to bring them to his games.

In nine minutes of audio obtained by TMZ, the team owner and real estate mogul is heard in an argument with girlfriend V. Stiviano over her friendships with minorities, particularly Johnson. The spat was apparently sparked after Stiviano posted a photo of herself with Johnson on Instagram. (Stiviano is of African-American and Mexican descent.)

Sterling asked why she was "broadcasting" her associations with minorities via pictures on social media, saying she should keep such things private.

"Why publicize it on the Instagram and bring it to my games?" he asked. "It bothers me a lot if you want to broadcast that you are associating with black people."

He went on to say "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."

Sterling is among the NBA's most-polarizing owners and has been embroiled in a number of legal issues. His charitable foundation has settled lawsuits over housing discrimination against African-Americans, with the Department of Justice claiming he would not rent apartments to blacks or families with children.

In 2011, former Clippers general manager and NBA hall of famer Elgin Baylor lost a wrongful termination lawsuit against the team. He had alleged Sterling and team president Andy Roeser created a hostile workplace and forced him out because of his age.

A rep for the Clippers did not immediately respond to request for comment.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a ...

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night."
