L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, whom commentators have tried to tie to the Republican Party after his alleged racist statements, is in fact a Democrat, according to campaign contribution records.
Sterling is in hot water after TMZ released recordings purporting to be a weird psychosexual rant he directed at girlfriend V. Stiviano, accusing her of publicly associating with black people. The highly offensive comments have drawn condemnation from across the National Basketball Association as well as from many other sources; and inevitably, attempts have been made to link him to the Republican Party. These appear to be based on campaign contribution records for a different Sterling, who lives in the state of Texas. Clippers owner Donald Sterling lives in Beverly Hills, has a long history of bigoted behavior in his Los Angeles business dealings, and according to a 2011 RealGM report, was a very occasional Democratic donor in the 1990s:

How many white players on the Clippers roster ?
1/2 of a player ?
I read somewhere the NACCP was scheduled to give him a “Lifetime Achievement Award” on May 15
shows the hypocrisy of everyone involved.

If the media runs with this Texan’s contributions and he gets any kind of retribution he should be able sue the media for their back teeth.

He seemed to be involved in a seedy story 10 years ago.
And is he still married? But he’d be seen at the games with Stiviano (the woman he made the comments to)? Sterling doesn’t seem good for the game.
It does have a very USSR flavor to it.
It's going to be fun watching this play out as the press works to cover uncomfortable facts about liberal elites... and how they look down on everyone. Yeah, blacks, conservatives, Christians, Jews, clingers, NRA members, cattle ranchers, Tea Party members, Hispanics.
Doesn't a part of you enjoy way these hypocrites cover for each other?
Harry "Obama is light skinned" Reid.
Joe "Obama is clean and articulate.!" Biden
KKK Byrd.
Not to mention the millions of Southern dems who fought against civil rights such as George Wallace, Al Gore's father, etc.
Democrat Party hypocrisy bump for later.....
True as true can be.
Once it's learned he is a Democrat just like the big banks in New York who steal 5 billion who then pay a fine of 1.2 billion and are then allowed to sign an agreement of "no wrong doing" and on they go.
I believe you're right. He'll PAY and continue to play.
Maybe, I’m no fan of Lebron James but when you have high-profile people like James coming out and dissing the guy, Sterling may not be able to stay. Also, Clippers’ coach Doc Rivers seems like a standup guy.
I heard that an option would be for the NBA to suspend the guy permanently and he would eventually be forced to sell the team. Something like this, I don’t know how that would work.

I don’t give a crap if he is. This unrelenting assault on whites has got to stop. This ‘they are the racist not us’ meme does nothing but help the Marxist. Not to mention it totally ignores the racial double standard that exist and is getting worse. Blacks are as racial as they come.
