The Race Card

[BMTSoulja1]

You used being drunk as an exampl. Bad example.

Black Panthers? Who said I support them? Also, why bug them? Members of the black Panthers would probably tell you how they feel without 'alcohol' or with or without a secret recording. I wasn't dodging the question about the Black Panthers. I just thought it was a moot point because I've never stated that I'm a follower of the Black Panthers.

But there are some like yourself that's looking... Or should I say seems like you're trying to justify this clown's action. It was recorded. You heard it. You also heard the 'apology'. Smh

[new tobie]

Sterling was not drunk. He made racist remarks and will be held accountable. My drinking example, which is a good one, shows how we can all say things that we may regret, even under the influence, when if recorded, can ruin lives. It is the recording that bothers me. Just trying to show no matter the situation, we can be held accountable even if what we said was while we are drunk......and I said I have witnessed many people say regretful things while drunk. Does not matter, you said them anyway. Why is this not a good example? I never said Sterling was drunk.

Noticed you completely dodged the Panther bugging question.

If the Panthers owned a sports franchise and were recorded making racist remarks the same rules would apply!

[stevenash]

And just who decides when and when not "the rules apply"?

[baddog]

So now making racist remarks and being held accountable only applies to sports franchise owners.

Soulja, you seem to be a level headed guy. I have never defended Sterling's remarks. Please show me where I have. Defending what he said and defending his right to say it and his right to privacy are totally different things. In order for you and me to have our rights, they must apply to everyone....even the undesirables.

You don't have to follow the Panthers to sit idly by and let them make their known racist agendas. You said they would even say it without being drunk, yet they are not condemned for saying it. It's just the way they are. Isn't this a double standard?

Just watched 30 for 30 on ESPN about the NBA when it was real basketball and not full of premodonna's. They should the Piston, Pacers and the Knicks. When you went to the basket you paid for it. Now if someone looked at a superstar a foul will be called. Back then they didn't care what they looked like, now it's a fashion show wearing men's capris and color sun glasses. Man I miss the Oakleys, Mason's, Starks and Lambeer type of ball.

Who said he was drunk? Another point missed. No way I am trying to justify what he said. Why is this so hard to understand? Like I said earlier, no one here will ever "admit" that they have said some private things, that if recorded, would embarrass them or even ruin them, drunk or not.
Please go back and show where I have said he is justified for saying those things.
How about we bug the Panther headquarters, and we know they are racist ahead of time. Oops, that would be violating their constitutional rights. What is the difference?

I'm sure the Panthers already have their share of being bugged.

[stevenash]

Dove, do you believe that the Panthers are a racist group?  ( I wonder why I get the feeling I wont get a straight answer on this one?)

Do you believe the kkk is racist

[stevenash]

Absolutely and without a doubt.  The difference is, I am willing to acknowledge that and am not afraid of criticizing some of my "brethren"

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@HipHopWired: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said that white America needs to get with the program and stop fronting like racism isn't real. http://fb.me/1sToL9zmQ







Since Kareem was brought up…..

15 pages its really nothing left to say we all agree sterling is a racist.

No, It's not a double standard. And how do you know that they (Black Panthers) are not condemned?

You correct in that I'm a level headed guy. ;)

It does seem like you're attempting to justify him. Or maybe you are playing devils advocat, and I can respect that. But you are trying Ro squeeze blood out of a turnip. There is no justification and no validation on his remarks and his horrible 'apology'.

If how comments wouldn't have been recorded, he would be to this day denying the situation and he'd be considered a 'rumored' racist. What goes around, comes around. He was busted now the entire world knows where his heart is. Now his world is slowly crumbling...

Yes, I completely agree. I thought I was by myself in this thought...

[stevenash]

HMMMM- Still nobody willing to criticize the Panthers- I wonder why?

[BMTSoulja1]

Nash believe it or not, several in the black community don't support the black Panthers. I don't support them. Why are we talking about them?

these players wouldn't survive in the 90s, the league is softer than Charmin, the NFL too.

[AggiesAreWe]

Sterling is a racist.

 

Now, I want to know why the chick needed to record the conversation?

 

I think it was a total set up from the get go.

[baddog]

Sterling is a racist.

Now, I want to know why the chick needed to record the conversation?

I think it was a total set up from the get go.

.....because she was getting back at his wife who accused her of duping him out of millions. The recording is what I didn't like, but people think I am defending Sterling. I am about everyone's rights.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

.....because she was getting back at his wife who accused her of duping him out of millions.

you forgot to add he was so forgetful of convos he wanted them taped. ;)

[BMTSoulja1]

Sterling is a racist.

I think it was a total set up from the get go.

...and if it was? Still does not change anything. The only thing is that we have proof that he's a racist..

[BMTSoulja1]

What's the saying about Karma?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

The only ones that seem to have any rational sense in the immediate Sterling family is the daughter and son in law. I wonder if they would be in the running to buy the team next……

[PNGFan]

these players wouldn't survive in the 90s, the league is softer than Charmin, the NFL too.

Players now day's don't like to even get touched. Could you imagine Darant, Lebron driving to the basket against Oakley or Lambeer?

[BLUEDOVE3]

Dove, do you believe that the Panthers are a racist group?  ( I wonder why I get the feeling I wont get a straight answer on this one?)

Good question!!! NO!!! The Black Panther Party were not a racist group

[BLUEDOVE3]

Its definitely bigger than Sterling and should not be treated or demeaned as an isolated incident.
