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.

If racism was really a concern the media would be discussing the nasty hearted comments and politics that emanate from the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP, not to mention our current Attorney General and POTUS.

Yup. He knows the students of Alinsky when he sees them. Alinsky openly admitted that he couldn't care less about the poor or minorities. He cared only that they were useful tools for his own gain.

I have a take on this whole ordeal....

I think the old man simply didn’t want her to advertize her latest bedfellow to the world by posting with him on twitter or showing up with him at the games.

Gold diggers like to agree to open relationships but are usually discrete about their side affairs, but this gal was out to throw it in his face....she is the one who made it a race issue....he didn’t if one really listens to the conversation.

She simply pulled the race card for the news it would get.....it was a pay back for his wife’s suite against her for ripping off the family “jewels” in more ways than one.

“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.’”

Here's another way Abdul-Jabbar 'gets it'... Looks like there's an adult in the room.. Thanks Abdul Jabbar - nice to hear a grown-up voice of reason...
