Then don't buy his records. Just don't . I don't give money to people whose words and actions u find offensive, no matter what the color.
You have no point.
PP has a point.
Anyone in entertainment has an audience, and while most adults can figure things out, kids are vulnerable. So to a kid with limited experience, Jay Z (and others) is cool.
THAT'S the point. sorry you can't grasp the bigger picture
I know you guys want to find a comparable, but there is none. Little Johnny did it too, boohoo hoo. Btw, JZ once owned a minute share in a BB team. Moreover, I would disagree that the lyrics in his music is more offensive, but maybe you too think it's okay to be a 400 million slave master. That's whatvthey all Spelling.

Reds owner for life for wearing a swastika and saying Hitler was not all bad. Eventually she was forced to sell her team. I don't recall anyone expressing their fatigue of hearing about the matter.
Schott was not a lifetime ban and more importantly selig did not force her to sell the team.
Her Limited Parnter's decided to take that action on their own.
This case is different....in that someone outside of the ownership of the clippers will vote to determine a forcible sale of the property. It is much more agressive than what MLB did with Schott

This dude is crazy, but the fools who have been co- signing on his foolishness for years need a bigger gut check than he does if you asked me.
At some point we as a nation are going to have be willing to do the real work of addressing racism, in public AND in private...not just when it looks good for balance sheet!

Fixed that for you. Great points!

Schott made her offensive comments in her capacity as owner, not drunk jealous random private pillow talk to a lying boyfriend.
i know - which makes the NBA action against sterling even more harsher than what MLB/Selig did to Schott

Shame he's not an owner or that point would be somewhat relevant.
