Crying? No. Merely pointing out that people crying about this are stupid and should get a life(or a job).

Government gives handouts. A friend gives you a hand up. It's wrong to think all black folks fit this stereotype.

I find it hilarious that the majority of people who are up in arms about this are white. White males at that.

People really still play that race card? It's 2014, the only person holding you down is yourself. OH and race goes more than one way, I don't know how many times I've been called bitch ass white boy. People are too sensitive, who the F cares. If someone wants to be ignorant then that is their right, it shouldn't bother your unless you are insecure as hell.

I don't think all blacks fit this stereotype but the statistics don't lie. Not sure why people have the constant need to point out my generalizations don't apply to every individual; I already know this. I'm talking about people in the aggregate because I don't know every person on the planet.

How you feel about sleeper and his struggle Is how majority of America feels about the black people struggle. Look in this day and age you are going to get the job you get based on how qualified you are. It doesn't matter about black white purple orange. The only black people not getting jobs based on them is because they are probably awful workers and suck at their job. The same goes for white people asians mexicans. If you are a piece of shit or just generally suck at your job that's the reason you arent advancing. Stop blaming it on your skin color and blame it on your work ethic. It's getting tiresome.

Just because you have freedom of speech to say what you feel doesnt mean there shouldnt be consequences for what you say when you're in a position like hes in.

I understand that, but he's obviously ignorant. It's freedom of speech, who the hell cares what he says, it's not going to affect anyone in the long run. People should just ignore his ass.

Except AA is institutionalized as being okay whereas racism is deemed appropriately bad by everyone. They are the same thing, why are you blacks only for racism when its in your favor?

The comments Sterling allegedly made are unfortunate, but this pretty much sums up how I feel about most of the media coverage to this point. Some of the commentators on ESPN and CNN are real sanctimonious assholes. At times it just seems like phony outrage. Sort of comical that it's the number one news story in the world right now.

As others have said, no matter what happens here, Sterling will not walk away from this a winner. But in no way should he be forced to sell his franchise over these comments. That will likely happen on its own.
