The first condition of progress is the removal of censorship.
~George Bernard Shaw
Censorship always defeats it own purpose, for it creates in the end
the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.
~Henry Steele Commager
We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked
away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst
dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about
her, and admit censorship.
~E. M. Forster
Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.
~Potter Stewart
Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice.
~Henry Louis Gates
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
Censorship is more dangerous than rudeness. ... Waaay more dangerous. ~Oonjerah

Censorship is the safe port in a storm. Or in a predicted storm. Or in a light rain.

Out of curiosity - do we agree racism is NOT dead?

The story goes that he asked her to tape his conversations because of his lapses of memory, hence the "his permission" part. He knew he was being taped because he requested it.
TMZ most definitely checked the legal side of this story because they wouldn't want to get sued. Then Sterling would own much more that the Clippers. Besides California has a state law against taping people without their knowledge, she would have been arrested.

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.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

You are such a dumb dumass.
How is what I said 'dumb' ?
He broke no laws. He didn't drive drunk or do drugs. He denied no one their rights. He used no racial slur
Meanwhile...
NBA player Ron Artest -
Artest was suspended for three games in 2003 for destroying a TV camera at Madison Square Garden, and for four games the same year for a confrontation with Miami Heat coach Pat Riley.[70] He was also suspended for two games in the early 2004–05 season by Pacers coach Rick Carlisle after he allegedly asked for a month off because he was tired from promoting an R&B album for the group Allure on his production label.[70]
Pacers–Pistons brawl
On November 19, 2004, Artest was at the center of an altercation among players and fans during a game in Auburn Hills, Michigan between Artest's Pacers and the home team Detroit Pistons.
The brawl began when Artest fouled Pistons center Ben Wallace as Wallace was putting up a shot. Wallace, upset at being fouled hard when the game was effectively over (the Pacers led 97–82 with less than 50 seconds to go), responded by shoving Artest, leading to an altercation near the scorer's table. Artest walked to the sideline and lay down on the scorer's table. Reacting to Wallace throwing something at Artest, Pistons fan John Green threw a cup of Diet Coke[10] at Artest, hitting him. Artest jumped into the front-row seats and confronted a man he incorrectly believed to be responsible, which in turn erupted into a brawl between Pistons fans and several of the Pacers. Artest returned to the basketball court, and punched Pistons fan A.J. Shackleford, who was apparently taunting Artest verbally.[11] This fight resulted in the game being stopped with less than a minute remaining. Artest's teammates Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson were suspended indefinitely the day after the game, along with Wallace.
On November 21, the NBA suspended Artest for the rest of the regular season, plus any playoff games. All told, Artest missed 86 games (73 regular season games plus 13 playoff games), the longest suspension for an on-court incident in NBA history. Eight other players (four Pacers and four Pistons) received suspensions, without pay, which ranged from one to thirty games in length. Each of the players involved were levied fines and ordered to do community service. Several fans were also charged and were banned from attending Pistons games for life. Artest lost approximately $5 million in salary due to the suspension.[72]

Any player who utters the N word at home, club, or the court of play.
Any player who utters the B word at home, club, or on the phone.
Any player who utters the slang term for prostitute at home, club, or on the phone.
Any player who utters a derogatory slur for gays at home, club, or on the phone.
Look, JSF, I have perfect Freedom of Speech
as long as I'm home alone, talking to myself!
You are not paying attention.
This only applies to the situation when somebody illegally records your conversation, whether to yourself or not.
Forgot to mention any sexual harrassment comments, like my neighbor has a hot a$$ or something.

Plenty or racists up in Boston, it would seem.
Boston Bruins fans blew up Twitter Thursday night following the team’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
P.K. Subban ended up scoring the winning goal in the fifth minute of the second overtime.
Fans showing disappointment would have been completely understandable. But many of them took it to a whole other level, seeming following in the footsteps of Donald Sterling.
Because of our corporate policies, we can’t put this type of profane language on our website, so here’s a summary of just some of the tweets we found:
– That stupid n***** doesn’t belong in hockey #whitesonly
– F*** YOU N***** SUBBAN YOU BELONG IN A F****** HOLE NOT AN ICE RINK
– PK Subban = F****** N*****
– F*** PK Subban. F****** n*****. Wish he got sold
– subban is the definition of a n*****
– Someone needs to smack PK subban across his big n***** lips. #scumbag
– SUBBAN IS A F****** PORCH M*****
– F*** that stupid m***** #subban
– F*** you subban you f****** lucky *** n*****!
– Once again, Subban stop being a n*****
– N***** was trending in Boston because P.K. Subban scored… It’s a rare moment in my life to be ashamed to be a Bruins fan.
– I bet the Bruins fans calling P.K. Subban a n***** on Twitter have no idea his brother plays for their minor league team.
– the hashtag #N***** is trending in Boston after Subban’s goal. Do they tweet this after a David Ortiz HR? f*** off Boston, be better.
– N***** trending in Boston- #NHL another sport with issues

^^ That is pretty unbelievable. I don't know much about Twitter, but those people should be identified, outed, humiliated, and run out of town.

I wonder how many will be fined, and then forced out of their jobs. Should be all of 'em, right ?
