[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LMAO! Still reaching! Looking for any black person to compare to. Your freedom of racist expression is threatened &like a cornered animal you panick & lash out. You feel that he should express that & never suffer a consequence. He has the right to speak his mind & people shouldn't react because it was originally spoken in private. But if he said what he said in public you would defend his right to an opinion & bash anyone who reacts. We can't win with y'all no matter what! Thank goodness the tape was released! If what he said was released word of mouth she would be all types of liars, pulling the race card, etc. Now she came With proof his rights were violated, he was just speaking out of jealousy (dumbest reason yet), he was set up, his punishment was excessive, etc. so transparent! [/quote] no, if he said it in public I would have ZERO issue with this. It is all about where he said it and the context. [/quote] Who cares where he said it???? Who cares???? If you heard a tape recording of your neighbor saying vile things about you, would you patronize his business, go to her house, be friends with him? Would you? Would you feel that you had to just because he said it on his back porch instead of the Giant?? It is capitalism, the market rules, I DONT HAVE TO DO BUSINESS WITH SOMEONE WHO HATES ME. PERIOD! I don't care HOW I found out about it. THE NBA made a BUSINESS decision that they had a right to make. IF they know their bottom line would be affected, BUH BYE! FYI, I don't care what stupid stuff the NAACP may have done, they don't represent ALL people of color. I don't even know any black people who belong, including myself. Their actions do not validate or invalidate racism. Their actions do not diminish this man's actions. Yes, in public or private you have the right to say whatever you want and I have a right to NOT do business with you if I don't like it !!! By the way, if you don't want your " private" s*** to get out, don't let your side chick convince your dumb a** to let her tape ALL of your conversations![/quote] If I heard a tape recording of a private conversation of my neighbor where he was saying vile things about my race, and not me personally? I guess it depends. In any case I would consider the context, consider my history with him, see if his private words matched what I know of him. (Obviously Sterling fails all these tests). I'd definitely take any private uttering with a huge grain of salt, knowing people say dumb shit in private which they may not even mean. So if for some crazy reason I heard a tape from my neighbor saying he doesn't want his daughter to date Latinos because they are uneducated, lazy and violent - yeah I'd be pissed. But if my other interactions with him were positive, I'd give him a chance to explain the context and a chance to apologize before trying to get him fired and forced out of the neighborhood. People say weird jealous stuff to their girlfriends. I'm guessing millions of black guys have told their girlfriends not to hang out with white guys. Millions of Asian guys have told their girlfriends not to hang out with black or white guys, and millions of white guys have told their girlfriends not to hang out with black guys. It sucks, but I've heard it from all of the above many times each.[/quote]
