I think Kareem kind of gets it -- the power brokers don't care about racism at all. They can happily ignore it. But, if they want to use it as a tool, then it's handy.

Almost anyone can be taken down at any time, and racism is one of the effective ways to do it. There is always more to it than meets the eye, but the bottom line is that the big shots couldn't really care less if Sterling is racist -- if they cared, they would have done something long ago. They didn't.

This is a teachable moment. Too bad the race hustlers got out in front of this mess and wasted it.
I heard Meta World Peace was on Greta with such an attempt. Did anyone here see it?

This is an old school NBA guy that has probably been through far more racism than any of these new jerks that are now complaining.

Kareem has it about right. Assuming the tape is legit, he’s got issues and has major consequences on the way. He’s simply in a business where that cannot stand. The person who recorded and leaked the tapes deserves jail time. There are no winners here.

Wasn’t this Muslim jackass once quoted as being gleeful at news of plane crashes carrying white passengers?

Kareem, the wordsmith. I’m impressed.

I know Kareem was at one time into guns and the Single Action Shooting Society. I once ran into him at a gunshop in Orange County, California.

I have mad respect for Kareem right now. This is just astonishingly good stuff.

the tape is actually funny.....I take it in that vein....but there's also a truth to be noted...

the truth is that no matter how many laws or regulations or decrees TPTB make, you can not make people accept certain things....

eg...most people will dutifully accept the gay marriage stuff but you have to know that a vast majority dislike and even hate that stuff and when given a chance, they're going to explode....same with race relations....you can force people together but you can not make them like each other...

its better to acknowledge that not everyone is going to like or love you and leave it at that....

Whoa. Check this finisher out:

“So, if we’re all going to be outraged,” the former NBA star concluded, “let’s be outraged that we weren’t more outraged when his racism was first evident. Let’s be outraged that private conversations between people in an intimate relationship are recorded and publicly played. Let’s be outraged that whoever did the betraying will probably get a book deal, a sitcom, trade recipes with Hoda and Kathie Lee, and soon appear on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

I couldn't do better than that, and I've tried.

Both Sterling and his girl-friend are pathetic.

She, a gold-digger with her unctuous and fake “honey” and “sweetie” and acceptance of his racism (she herself being part black) to keep the cash flowing.

He an old fool in his dotage, seemingly regressing to childhood with his whining and simplistic racism and obvious hypocrisy, playing the pathetic game of lying to himself about his age because he is able to buy a sexually attractive girlfriend.
