Ben Shapiro also observes at his column in Breitbart:

Spike Lee has stated that white gentrification of Harlem has been horrible, has posted the address of George Zimmerman’s parents online to spur violence, has explained after visiting South Africa in the early 1990s, “I seriously wanted to pick up a gun and shoot whites. The only way to resolve matters is by bloodshed.” He, like Donald Sterling, is no fan of interracial dating: “I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.” He’s currently a host on NBA Radio on SiriusXM, stars in NBA commercials, and had a front-row seat to the Sterling announcement.

Then there’s Jay Z. Jay Z isn’t just fêted by the President of the United States. He’s a former part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets and, as an agent, works closely with the league. He was spotted recently at an NBA game wearing a necklace medallion for the Five Percent Nation, which sees black men as gods and white people as devils.

We live in a politically correct world now.

Any statements which can be perceived as disrespectful to officially recognized grievance groups, such as blacks and homosexuals, will make one a target for destruction.

One will not just be condemned for racist or bigoted statements, one will also be targeted for destruction.

Paula Deen, the guy from Mozilla who contributed to Proposition 8, the guy from Chick Fill A, and now Donald Sterling, can all tell us about being targeted for destruction and banishment from society.

It’s no longer enough for the politically correct crowd to condemn statements or actions of those with whom they disagree. It’s no longer enough for them to try to persuade us that what all of these people did was bad. Instead, we now want to see these people driven out of business and their lives destroyed.

Colin Cowherd of ESPN idiotically called for the league to void all of Sterling's contracts with his players and agents -- a violation of basic contract law.

Colin Cowturd having an opinion means it's okay for me to have the opposite one.

.....And this is just the public folks.

American society now considers expression of thought to be significantly more important than action.

The lynching of Mr. Sterling for his thoughts was the biggest victory for the thought police too date. IMHO -tom

This week, Sterling's 31-year-old girlfriend, V. Stiviano, released a tape of the 80-year-old racist being an 80-year-old racist.

WHOA - maybe NOW can shake the old man down for cash too... Any chance he insulted Tea Party members?

[Sacajaweau]

This is really all about.....”I hate Whitey”...and it can’t be more evident in the promotion of such by Obama and Michelle.

[Logical me]

It's coming. America is finished. The communists Democrats are turning America into what Hitler turned Germany into and the American people are blind. The MSM has done their job killing America. And when things are done King Obama will throw the MSM in the toilet.

released a tape of the 80-year-old racist being an 80-year-old racist

Not true.

It was a tape of an 80-year old fool being an 80-year old fool over his young, hot, tight (well, perhaps not THAT tight) mistress - a story as old as time.

He was BEGGING her - that's right, a real-estate billionaire was begging a penniless wretch - not to humiliate him in front of his peers. That's what he meant about "bringing them to MY games".

He didn't say he didn't want (generic) blacks at (generic) Clippers games. He said he didn't want HIS girlfriend showing up at HIS games with hot young studs, and he made it clear that it was so because his fellow owners would taunt him - which, I have no doubt, they would have done, and in racist terms that would dwarf anything he said on the damn tape.

Just to be clear - best practice is to forgo the young mistress. But, cash is to young women like horsesh** is to flies, and, as above, this story is as old as time.

[BerryDingle]

Thoughtcrime? No. This is the way Magic Johnson is trying to “own” the Clippers.

[driftless2]

I wouldn’t come down so hard on libs about their (deliberate?) ignorance of the law, except like always, they’re tremendous hypocrites concerning racism. Spike Lee, Jay-Z, and other well-known, rich black people can get away with racist statements (Lee) or wearing racist jewelry (Jay-Z), and none of the presently aggrieved over Sterling say a word. And of course, Obama and Clinton pal around with Al Sharpton. So when various people screamed racism about Sterling’s utterances after taking his money for years, it left me with a little lack of sympathy for their “plight.”

In November 2009, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling settled a lawsuit in which the Department of Justice alleged that Sterling had discriminated against Hispanics, blacks and families without children in his rental properties. The lawsuit contained testimony that Sterling had suggested Hispanics were poor tenants because they "smoke, drink, and just hang around the building," and that "black tenants smell and attract vermin." The settlement cost him and his insurers $2.73 million.

The NBA and the national media said virtually nothing. That same year, the NAACP gave him a Lifetime Achievement Award.

In 2005, Sterling signed a check for more than $5 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that he had attempted to prevent non-Koreans from renting in his facilities in Koreatown.

Sterling settled lawsuits, which many times is done for financial reasons. He wasn't found guilty of crimes.

While Shapiro is busy accusing others, he is also guilty of jumping to conclusions.

The Sterling story is a test case of how to use extreme over reaction it will play well in the next two elections the MSM is on board and well armed.
