what should be open to debate here is the fact that the young girlfriend is getting away with breaking a law
she violated a state law that requires you to have all parties consent before you can record any private conversation
she did not have it and she should be charged as such

Sterlings comments where nothing like this,, WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE HERE!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

I didn't think black people could be racist since they apparently don't have any power to oppress whites.

 

The term "Racist" does not apply only to oppressors.

There are plenty of people of races other than Caucasian, that are capable of being racist, and may of them are..

 

Lots of people think the same way. Most blacks and all news medias will tell you that.

 

And "may" of them are? No shit tenguy? But just in the month of May? But just them? Never you? No matter what month it is?

Pummeling an old man for a remark in private


Donald Sterling (right) with his purported girlfriend at a Clippers game.



By Lawrence G. Proulx

Paris

An 80-year-old Jewish real estate magnate and basketball team owner complains to his 31-year-old Mexican-black girlfriend about her being seen in public and on a social-networking website with a variety of much-younger-than-80-year-old black men. The conversation is recorded and given to a celebrity gossip website, which publishes it. And vituperation rains down on him from thundering clouds of righteous indignation.

Before long, the National Basketball Association has barred him from basketball for life, fined him $2.5 million and ordered him to sell the team.

Who made this recording? Who gave it to the website? The accounts I have read in major newspapers leave these questions unanswered and apparently unasked.

I invite you to consider the possibility that the views of an 80-year-old billionaire about his girlfriend’s black acquaintances represent far less dangerous a threat to the American republic than the evident fact that a citizen could be recorded in a private conversation presumably without his knowledge or consent, that the recording could be given to a news outlet and published, almost certainly without his consent, and that the vast mass of public commentators in this once freedom-loving country would happily pummel him for his “racism” rather than sympathize with him over the egregious violation of his privacy.

That he should be cashiered by the NBA is not surprising. We all take it for granted today that a corporation has no higher — and perhaps no other — duty than to safeguard its own economic health and survival. The basketball association acted to appease the outrage among its players, roughly three-quarters of whom are black, and to secure its good standing with its fans and all the millions of people who watch the games in person and on television and the Internet. However indifferent a corporation can seem in ordinary matters of customer satisfaction, when a real danger of loss arises, there is no one more servile, more ready to sacrifice anyone and everyone, than the average corporate leader.

Technology has evolved, progressed, advanced — pick the word that pleases you — and our world has changed. In public, security cameras are almost everywhere, making up to some small extent for the decline in our general morality. And in private, too, it is now very easy to record people visually and aurally without their knowledge. A smartphone can do it, and much smaller tools are available as well. Being in one’s home, speaking privately — these things must mean something different, something less reliable, to a young person today than to people who grew up before personal computers and haven’t quite learned yet how much the world has changed.

It is perhaps inevitable, given the proliferation of these devices, that people should violate one another’s privacy. What is not inevitable, however, is that such violations be published with impunity. What is not inevitable is that once a disreputable website publishes them that other, more respected news organizations take the revelations as fair material for their own pages and airwaves. What is not inevitable — but seems, alas, to be the case — is that the American people accept such violations as a matter of course and stand ready to vilify the victim for his thought crimes.

Donald Sterling is a billionaire. I, too, have a certain prejudice against billionaires. Offer me a straightforward referendum outlawing billionairizing and I will vote for it. But what happens to a billionaire sets a precedent for what could happen to anybody.

The enthusiasm with which public commentators and various other people high and low, including the president, have denounced Donald Sterling while ignoring the manner in which his remarks came to light is striking evidence of a fact that bodes ill for this country: Liberty — with its necessary concomitant, privacy — means far less to the average American today than conformity to sociopolitical orthodoxy.

There is a word for a political system in which people must not only act properly in public but speak properly in private, and that is totalitarianism. And for the mob that America has become, what better scapegoat than a vain, insecure billionaire unhappy with the company his young girlfriend is keeping?

As long as you don't say anything about colored people you don't have to worry about what you say or do.
How many of the players have been charged with crimes?

 

Oh no. Actions don't count in Libturdia. Only words and thoughts.

 

Who cares, another totally useless thread made by a moron.

 

And you don't have it. Sterling has broken no laws and nobody has tried to charge him with anything.

 

With ruining his life,,there needs to be no legal proceedings, I'm certain we will not hear the last from Sterling.

 

Saw on the news this morning, the woman who did the taping is being investigated for extortion.
