Was it really a racist rant?

I think that’s open to subjective interpretation. Sterling might have been referring to indivdual people that he had a personal objection to. Whatever he said was less “racist” than some of Reverand Wright’s rants from the pulpit.

Someone described it as "ethnocentric". Nowhere in it did he attribute negative characteristics or abilities to blacks as a group.

What he said was out of line in today’s PC world.

BUT there is a flip side here no one says anything about. The black players, use of the N word, calling white players Crackers.

It is not ok for 1 old man to say it, but it is FINE for thousands of high paid ball players to say the same things? Or worse?

What this is about is a cheating girlfriend who got caught, and wanted revenge.

SOme how I missed that. It seemed to me it was more about a man ticked off that his mistress was cheating on him publicly.
