| Donald Sterling with his bi-racial girlfriend, V. Stiviano |
Currently, Donald Sterling is the owner of the L.A. Clippers. He may not own the team much longer over some discriminatory remarks directed at African-Americans.
Recently, Sterling expressed to his bi-racial girlfriend that he had an issue with her associating herself with African-Americans. He then went as far as saying that he didn't want her bringing African-Americans to his games, including NBA legend, Magic Johnson.
Little did Sterling know, it was all being recorded.
There's been an uproar about over his remarks and a crucifixion is being sought. Thus far, he's been fined over two millions dollars and prohibitions has been placed on Sterling. For instance, he's been banned from the NBA and he can't communicate with Clippers' players. Nevertheless, the ultimate punishment will come when he is forced to relinquish sole ownership of the Clippers.
In any event, is not Sterling a reflection of what most white Americans feel towards African-Americans? How many white Americans want to be associated with African-Americans?
President Barack Obama's treatment from white America is all the evidence you need.
It's time to face the facts -- not all whites are racist or harbor discriminatory sentiment towards blacks, but for the most part, a great majority of whites are racist, prejudice, and don't want to be around blacks. Donald Sterling just happened to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
No? Whites have a notorious history of letting blacks know that they aren't welcomed in their neighborhoods; that they don't want blacks wearing their clothes; that they don't want them dining in their restaurants; that they don't want them shopping at their stores, or going to their schools.
