Most people have been talking about the LA Clippers owner,Donald Sterling, and how he made racist remarks while speaking to his girlfriend. Donald Sterling said, "Don't bring black people to my games." These remarks are making the NBA investigate Sterling.
One of the NBA spokesman made a comment about this situation saying the comments made by Sterling were "disturbing and offensive." If an NBA spokesman thinks this about these comments, what will the people investigating this situation think?
Many people like Michael Jordan are saying things like, "I will never go to a Clippers game as long as Donald Sterling is the owner." He also said Sterling's comments were "a black eye for the NBA" and that he felt bad that friends such as Doc Rivers and Clippers point guard Chris Paul who work for Sterling. You would think that Sterling would know better than to make these comments, but he still makes them thinking he's above the situation because of his money. Many people won't be going to a Clippers game because of the owner and are following Michael Jordan's opinion.
Another comment was made by the former Clipper's guard, Baron Davis, wrote on his Twitter saying that this discrimination has been going on for a long time. It's interesting how no one has reported these remarks if they have been going on for a long time. People are thinking too highly of him because he has a lot of money. They tend to believe that the more money a person has the more you can get away with. This makes you think: is there really any justice in the world?

It sucks that there are still people out there like that.
ReplyDeleteIf only we lived in a world where everyone was thought of as equals...
I was just talking about this with my mom last night.
ReplyDeleteThat is so messed up, people are people no matter their color! I understand that everyone has their opinions but, if they are rude... keep them to yourself. "If you have nothing nice to say, do not say anything at all," really comes into play here!
ReplyDeleteThat’s ridiculous, it’s unbelievable and sad to know that there are still people like that in this world!
