Every Newsroom or Stadium Press Box Without a Black Shows Donald Sterling-Level Racism (quotas)

On NPR’s race-matters talk show “Tell Me More” on Monday, host Michel Martin discussed the Donald Sterling scandal with New York Times sports columnist William Rhoden, announcing he had written the book "Forty Million Dollar Slave: The Rise, Fall, And Redemption Of The Black Athlete."

Rhoden used the Sterling scandal to thump a tub for racial quotas in journalism. He claimed that every time there’s not a black journalist in a newsroom or a stadium press box, that news outlet or media elite is Donald Sterling-level racist:

$40 million slave my ass. What a demagogue and racist.

Thanks chessplayer.

[roofgoat]

yup

[roofgoat]

“Whites should just die.”

or just leave.

I’ve been researching the Baffin Islands. But my guess is that my mere presence would upset some race/culture/peoples/tribe etc.

[Irenic]

Really? Where do I get this race counting manual and how did Obama slide in as black? Asians are no longer people of color, which means they were at some point. Zimmerman is a white Hispanic but other Hispanics are people of color who declare Asians aren’t... /confused

Why did he leave out Asians? And Hispanics? And Latinos? And Native-American Indians? And Arabs? And Jews? If we're going to be non-Sterling level racist, then there should be a member of every race/ethnicity there is in every stadium press box and news outlet in the country. Or don't those races count to him?

They don't matter... you're right on that...only blacks have feelings... no one else matters.

Is it “Sterling level racism” when 10 blacks take the floor in a basketball game?

No, it's hiring the best qualified and using the employees to the greatest advantage. Of course in any other business it would be an EEOC violation...
