Most U.S. college students and schoolchildren were required to read 1984 in their academic studies. George Orwell’s book was meant as a warning. But the modern New Left and Obama’s team seem to take 1984 as a “how to” manual. Recently, 1984 has become the detailed blueprint for taking over control of traditional America and redesigning our society.
America was built on the idea of tolerance for divergent views and opinions. That means that if you don’t like what someone has to say, don’t listen to it. Ignore them. Living on a planet of 6 billion people requires being an adult and mature enough to accept that other people don’t think the same way you do. It is childish to feel that everyone has to agree with you. It is childish to feel upset that someone’s opinion is different from yours.
Fascism begins by riding popular sentiments. Then, once the precedent of thought control is well-established and accepted, the government can start silencing its critics using the same techniques and arguments. Obviously, if unpopular people can be silenced, then you too can be silenced the moment you express non-standard thoughts.
Yes, the NBA is a private institution, not government. But conditioning society to accept the repression of different opinions and ideas is preparing the ground for government-imposed fascism soon to follow.
Thought control is one of the greatest dangers to humanity. It is un-American. If American citizens are no longer free to hold opinions that are not officially approved, then freedom, liberty, and America have all died. Decades ago, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) used to understand that if the most unpopular people are not free to express opinions that most people reject, then no one is truly free. If you can only express opinions that the authorities agree with, then we are all mind slaves. The ACLU’s lawyers defended the right of Nazi’s to march and express their opinion, realizing that freedom of speech affects everyone.

Meanwhile Jay-Z can be an agent and hang out at games with his racist medallion.
From Daily Mail or search on Jay-Z racist medallion:
Jay-Z causes outrage by wearing gaudy medallion of ‘Five Percent Nation’ group who believe whites are ‘wicked and weak’

I haven’t watched pro basketball in over 30 years because it is a racist institution. It is racist because they won’t facilitate the encouragement, support and enthusiasm for white players in their ranks. Further, their advertisers actively support this racism.
In 2006, the Bush Justice Department are the ones that started investigating Sterling over Housing Discrimination.
If Sterling is to be banned from the NBA, then that was the event that should have triggered it, not this incident.
Look. There is a constitutional right to free speech. There is not a constitutional right to own a professional basketball team. It’s a sign of the culture and frankly I don’t care.
It will all backfire, mark my words.
Can you say, “see you in court” as in a COURT of LAW soon?
We are already there and have been for years. The Court system is corrupted and all it had to do is wait for insane Americans to put the nail in the coffin. Next step is to put a bowl object on your head, extract thoughts, and if they don't like what you think they will execute you. Is this sarcasm?
Uh no. They outlawed getting bad PR. Thanks to Sterling nobody has noticed that the NBA actually has a pretty good playoffs happening all week. Get bad press, get the ax, that’s how things work in the spotlight. People can think whatever they want, so long as it doesn’t land them in the press.
Is this progress?..is this progressivism in action?

Section 631 makes recording telephone conversations illegal without consent. Section 632 makes recording private conversations illegal without consent. Both go on to state: "Except as proof in an action or prosecution for violation of this section, no evidence obtained as a result of eavesdropping upon or recording a confidential communication in violation of this section shall be admissible in any judicial, administrative, legislative, or other proceeding." Whether these sections apply to recorded private conversations that are not communicated by telephone or cell phones is not clear.
Have anything to do with the NBA, from buying tickets to watching games on TV to buying merchandise to giving a damn about who wins and who loses, and you’re part of the problem.
We are becoming the Turner Diaries
It doesn’t get any better than this: suspense, mystery, ugly girlfriend, money. Sterling is filthy rich. Hope he fights to keep the team. Beam me up, I’ve seen enough......The Great OZ has spoken.
Well, Sterling is Jewish.
There's been plenty of people who've pointed out all the hypocrisy is this fiasco. They knew Sterling was less than a wonderful person for decades. His girl friend is half black and half Mexican. She taped a supposedly private conversation and gave it to the media. He never uttered any racial slurs. He never tried to mess over his black players. He hired a black coach. And on and on. But he makes a statement that he doesn't want his girl friend to bring her black friends to a game so she's seen as possibly cheating on him, and the whole race industry goes ballistic. Hypocrisy should be on trial, not Sterling.
For me the only point would be, if a black owner, coach, or player privately said something racist, equivalent to what sterling said, and it was taped, would he receive the same punishment?
