If the most recent little racial dustup involving Donald Sterling and accusations of racism prove anything, it’s that if you’re the black owner of an NBA team, it’s acceptable to be racist. But if you’re a white guy who happens to own an NBA team, well then, you must NEVER exhibit any behavior that might be construed, even remotely, as being racist.
Apparently professional race baiter, and everyone’s favorite faux preacher, Al "Bull Horn" Sharpton and a few other supposed ‘civil rights’ leaders are saying that they have now had what they called a "constructive" meeting about ‘racial issues’ in the NBA with Commissioner Adam Silver. With Silver being relatively new to the job, Sharpton, I’m sure, saw an easy mark.
This group of supposed ‘civil rights’ leaders met with Silver just today for, what was said to be, more than an hour in the league's Manhattan offices. It was old ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton who said they stressed that disgraced Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his estranged wife must never be allowed to have any kind of a role in the league.
Now I’m sure that everyone knows by now that Sterling has been officially banned for life from the NBA and fined $2.5 million for making ‘racist’ remarks that were recorded by his girlfriend. Silver had also worked to oust him as owner of the team until his wife, Shelly Sterling, concluded a deal to sell it to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 Billion.
But racism, at least in the world of sports franchises, seems to be a matter of perception. Because it was back in 2010, during the same time that he co-owned the Brooklyn Nets that Jay-Z held a party for fans, but ordered bouncers not to allow in any white folks. Strangely enough the NBA leadership chose to take no action whatsoever. So what’s different here?
And another little fact about this racist asshole, Jay-Z, is the fact that he openly supports one of the most radical white hating organization that you’ll find anywhere on the planet. It’s called "5%er Nation" and they claim they are preparing for a race war to exterminate all white people. The group makes the claim that white people are biological devils.
And as we also know our buddy Jay-Z is also a foul-mouth rapper. And anyone familiar with the supposed lyrics to what are referred to as being ‘songs’ must also be aware that the lyrics of these ‘songs’ do little more than to attack white people. So it becomes rather difficult not to see this guy as being a racist. And yet he had no trouble owning an NBA team.
But things operate pretty much the same way in the NFL. Remember back when Rush Limbaugh was going be one of several owners of the St. Louis Rams. I seem to recall it was Sharpton making accusations of racism back then as well. But instead of being told to go f*ck himself, the commissioner of the NFL did little more than to kiss his lying black ass.
