Inspired by a monologue on Mark Levin’s show last night… serious question for the group, who is doing more harm to African-Americans?
A. An octogenarian billionaire telling his skanky rent-girl that he doesn’t want her to come to basketball games in the company of black man.
B. A president who guts a voucher program that helped children… predominantly African-American … access higher quality education. [And you can add a Progressive NYC Mayor (and Sandinista supporter, although I am not supposed to point that out) who similarly is trying to lock minority children out of educational opportunities.]
This is a serious question.
de Blasio is already running for re-election?
Larry Elder was comparing the hypocrisy of the Left to their outrage over the Clippers guy. One was Spike Lee. If he thinks that having prejudiced thoughts excludes someone from owning an NBA team, then him (Lee) giving interracial couples the stink eye because he dislikes mixed ethnic (not race) relationships should likewise negate his court-side seats at the Nix games.
Also, for those interested, I have an in-depth post on the Cliven Bundy thing… good stuff Maynard. There are some videos, but the extended Larry Elder audio I have in the post is worth listening to:

Iggy,
I now pronounce you and Cass to be “nit and wit.”
@ Papa Giorgio: That’s something you never hear about. Whenever you hear about people who disapprove about marriages between ethnic African and ethnic European Americans, it’s always framed as ethnic Europeans who have the problem with it. But oftentimes, the worst offenders are ethnic Africans. Remember when the Mowry sisters were interviewed by Oprah, and Tamera talked about the vile comments she got from African-American women?
Or last week’s episode of ‘Family Guy,’ which also took on the issue of racist blacks opposed to inter-racial dating.
Yes, I do remember the Oprah interview. She was crying. As GP points out, it is the Left in general, and the deteriorating affects of Leftism that is the culprit. Not just — for example — the gay left… it is Leftism proper.

During yesterdays show, another really neat stat was brought out from a 1999 LA Times article, mainly based on the Donald Sterling “news” — was the charge of how he practiced racism/prejudice in his renting to minorities. Larry read from this article:
http://articles.latimes.com/1999/sep/27/local/me-14583
“Two recent studies of rental practices found that Latino landlords are discriminating against African Americans, and black landlords are discriminating against Latinos, at levels comparable to those practiced by whites against minority groups a decade ago.”
And Snoop Dog [Lion] came out with that short video condemning Sterling’s comments as racist (Sterling told his wife she could sleep with these people, just don’t bring them to the games… if he doesn’t care that she sleeps with them, I wouldn’t say he is “racist”), here is a tweet by Larry:
ABSURD: Snoop Dogg denounces Sterling as “racist.” During’12 election, Snoop posted vulgar insults that called Mitt Romney a “white n–r.”!!
The hypocrisy is astounding. I refuse to let people say silly things like this any longer, even in general conversation. My USPS driver is a Dem and brought up Rush as being “racist.” I went through my memorized soliloquy about Obama (found here in this convo on a Hawaii cruise my wife and I were on via a discussion with a Dem: http://religiopoliticaltalk.com/hot-tub-conversations/)
So I merely assumed that Rush was racist, even telling him — lets assume Rush is a KKK’er. I went through Obama’s affiliation at the Nazi like church, through Cynthia McKinney’s affiliation with the Black Panthers — making the distinction that a radio host versus elected DEMOCRAT officials are much different.
Frustrating, but these Dems make it too easy for me. I even mentioned that all but one Dixi-Crat stayed Democrat, thus, cutting odd the assumption that there was a big change then.
I can’t wait to point out to my USPS driver (an NBA fan) that Sterling was a huge Democrat donor, and if this has anything to do with Johnson saying “I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”

That “new” slavery I speak about in my previously posted link to the Cliven Bundy “racism.”
I WAS EVEN upset with Hugh Hewitt who said this was a racist rant. No, it was a prejudiced rant. “Racism” is ~ Safire’s Political Dictionary:
“racism: Originally, an assumption that an individual’s abilities and potential were determined by his biological race, and that some races were inherently superior to others; now, a political-diplomatic accusation of harboring or practicing such theories” (From my letter to a high school teacher and principle at my son’s school: http://tinyurl.com/bekn4oj)
As a lawyer, I wonder if he (Hugh) would defend his definition in a court of law as loosely as he did on his radio show last night.
It is ALL headbangingly dumb… but a gift to blogger nonetheless.
“odd” [above] should be “off”
Also, for smooth reading of a part, it should read like this [God I am anal!]:

Does anyone want to tackle this issue?: on what basis do the very private ‘ventings’ of a person, surreptitiously recorded by a vengeful love interest and made available to the Leftist Media, constitute “news”?
There is nothing that I’ve heard or seen so far that suggests that this guy’s public behavior comports in any way with his private comment (I believe it’s ONE comment, yes?).
Harry Truman was known to refer to Jews as “kikes” in private, but when it came to his public behavior, his support (as POTUS) was crucial to the creation of the state of Israel.
Which is more important: private words or public behavior?
I don’t give a sh*t what Sterling, nor anyone else, says in private. It doesn’t affect me in any way whatsoever, and it’s a tragic comment on the state of our society that so many people consider this to be the most important issue on April 29, 2014.
And it doesn’t affect anyone else, either, whether they think it does or not. And thinking that it does is a strong indicator that the person so incensed has a warped moral compass and is, frankly, pretty ucfked up.

What can anyone possibly think they can do to “an octogenarian billionaire” who bosses his paid whore around about who she hangs with?
He is recklessly old and emboldened. He has money to burn. He is surrounded by sycophants and paid toadies.
He has immunity from hate crimes, real or imagined. His life is hermetically sealed off from political correctness gnats.
The b*tch likely set him up. She may well be working for a higher bidder for her attentions; a rival who would like to see the team ownership ripped away from the old buzzard.
Meanwhile, we are supposed to shake our Puritanical heads and babble about how the old coot’s words are the height of racism and a possible opening shot at Armageddon.
You can hear far better trash talk than this at an open gas pump in the ghetto.
Why waste time on concern over the economy, employment, energy, food costs, etc. when we have this earth-shattering horror story of a man is still making comments in private that offend the professionally offended?

This just in:
Another Leftist witch hunt has just been brought to a “successful” conclusion: NBA bans Donald Sterling for life, fines him $2.5 million.
Everyone can get back to the routine business of everyday life now that this scourge of all humanity has been eradicated.
What Donald Sterling should do is hire Cliven Bundy to be his spokesperson.
