Donald Sterling finally spoke to a national audience regarding his racist comments that were leaked in April. In the interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sterling apologized for his comments, slammed Magic Johnson and other wealthy African Americans for not doing enough to help minorities, and even insinuated that Cooper is more of a racist than he is.

Now that he's all lawyered up he is feeling his oats again. This should be fun to watch, as it plays out.

He's richer than Croesus and isn't used to anyone questioning him, much less criticizing him. He doesn't know how to handle it.

And maybe his soon to be ex is right that he's a little cracked.

“Did you ever like a girl, were you ever jealous of her a little bit if she was with other guys? It’s not that I didn’t want her to be photographed.”

I’m betting Anderson’s answer was No.

It’s one thing to have people think you are racist based on a private recording. It’s another to accept an invitation from Anderson Cooper and prove it.

If he is lawyered up, that lawyer needs to be disbarred.

Just remember, Anderson Cooper comes from much older money than Mr. Sterling probably does:

Cooper was born on June 3, 1967,[3] in New York City, the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. His maternal grandparents were millionaire equestrian Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and socialite Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, and his maternal great-great-great-grandfather was Cornelius Vanderbilt of the prominent Vanderbilt shipping and railroad fortune.[4] He is also a descendant, through his mother, of Civil War brevet Major General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick, who was with General William T. Sherman on his march through Georgia.

I’m not a big fan of Magic Johnson, because at one time I thought he was a very disgusting example for young boys who idolized him.

Johnson has started up numerous businesses in Black neighborhoods providing jobs for Black youth. I think that’s a positive development.

The guy should be judged on all aspects, and I think some of Sterling’s latest comments have been unfortunate.

Sometimes it’s just best to zip it.

Yes, the Vanderbilts could sell Donald Sterling at a garage sale and the proceeds would not increase their net worth more that one percent.

Rush played some of the interview and the poor guy is obviously old and addled. Not that I am condoning silencing his freedom of speech, but anyone with ears to hear could tell that the guy needs to be just ignored... Like when your old relative goes off on a tangent and everyone just nods their heads.

I agree that he is probably in the twilight of reasoning.

He is at a tough age and a bad point in senility and he is wealthy.

Too much money to be controlled, just enough reasoning not to be placed in the old folk’s home.

I was speaking of the entire vanderbilt family which may not be 100 billion, but more than Sterling.
