Theory: Racism will be dead when one of two things happens:
1. People stop needing to feel superior by belittling those who are different.
2. We have interbred to the max, are a single, perfectly homogenized race.
i.e., Not in my lifetime. ... Pass the watermelon.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Now all I want is a cookie.

Apparently the taping was not illegal because it was at his request.

Or, he WAS , until this latest fiasco.
But even BEFORE his ( illegally ? ) taped remarks, this guy had a track record of racist views and actions.
So, how much $ had he given to the naacp to buy their blessing?

Yeah, that NAACP award is quite disturbing, and odd, given his track record. But his days as an NBA owner are numbered. Why!? you might ask, because he signed on the dotted line. The NBA Commissioner is a highly regarded attorney, like his predecessor, and no slouch when it comes to contracts.
And Sterling's expertise is in divorce litigation. Anyway, he signed an agreement that includes binding arbitration, which no judge in this country would ever undermine (it's a business thing). So he has to abide by the Rules & Regs of the NBA Agreement. They need 23 out of the 29 remaining team owners to vote him out. I believe Silver got commitments from 25 owners.
Bye, Bye Sterling.

So, the worst kept secret in all of sports, that Donald Sterling is, was and will be to the end of his days, a racist.
And now he's been banned from the NBA - for life.
Only, he's saying he'll fight to keep the team which the NBA commish has vowed he'll force Sterling to sell. This should get interesting.
There's a whole back story ( or conspiracy ) to the reason why all this is being played out NOW. The short version is, the league wanted this guy out as owner. Best way to do that ? No, not have him suicided, but maybe the next best thing. Have him humiliated and forced to sell. In comes Magic Johnson, who is instant gold in the city of Angels, and Voila! Problem solved !
Anyway, it appears Sterling will NOT get his second award from the NAACP. It seems he'll have to settle as having the same number of awards as Dr. Ben Carson, and 1 more than US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Not too bad for a slum lord and overt racist.
Stay true to the cause, NAACP !

I've heard that he admits it was him on the recording, I've not heard anything where he claims the recording was done w/ his knowledge.

Just for clarity's sake: Quote:
We're told Stiviano insists it was clear to Sterling at the beginning of the conversation he was being recorded. What's more ... our sources say Stiviano routinely recorded her conversations with Sterling as HIS "archivist." And what's more ... she would regularly play the tapes back to him because he would often forget what he had said.
Our sources say sometime after the tape was recorded on April 9 ... Stiviano and Sterling got in an argument because he wanted her to sign a confidentiality agreement ... which she would not. We're told he then denied ever making the racist statements on the tape, so she played the entire tape for back him ... before it was ever posted on TMZ Sports. http://www.tmz.com/2014/04/27/donald-sterling-racist-audio-v-stiviano-

Or there's this:Quote:
He also insisted that Stiviano and the 80-year-old Clippers owner never had a sexual or romantic relationship and descriptions of her as his mistress in the media and in a lawsuit filed by Sterling’s wife are erroneous.
“It’s nothing like it’s been portrayed,” Nehoray said. “She’s not the type of person everyone says.”
Stiviano's lawyer said his client was a hard-working young woman who supported herself waitressing and volunteered helping crime victims before signing on to work as an “archivist” for Sterling.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office confirmed that Stiviano did clerical work and helped explain legal procedures to victims as a volunteer in the agency’s Victim-Witness Assistance Program in 2010 and 2011. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-v-stiviano-saddened-nba-do

Or if you prefer the vaulted FauxNews:Quote:
The lawsuit claims that Sterling first met Stiviano at the 2010 Super Bowl, and “initiated and participated in a sexual relationship” with Sterling that lasted until the filing.
There is some question about Stiviano’s profession. According to the Los Angeles Times, Stiviano has been listed as director in advertising material for the Donald T. Sterling Charitable Foundation.
TMZ reported that sources close to Stiviano said her relationship with Sterling is professional—that she worked for years as Sterling’s "archivist" as well as for a Clippers charity. http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/sports/2014/04/28/who-is-v-stiviano-o

I heard about 50 grand. That is what makes this all the sadder. Apparently for money even the NAACP will not only look the other way but sing your parses as well.

Where ya hearing that figure ? I heard some naacp spokesperson claim it was " insignificant ", but would not offer an amount.
So, next time anyone , even a billionaire, gives you $ 50K, be sure to scoff and roll your eyes at it.

$50K, he probably spends that much at lunch. It's a drop in the bucket for the likes of him.

That's pretty much the going story Niki. So that's what they call it these days; an Archivist.
