Los Angeles, CA—It seems more than obvious that 80 year-old
billionaire, lawyer, real estate developer and L.A. Clippers owner, Donald
Sterling was a victim of an extortionist.
That woman presumed to be his former girlfriend, Vanessa Stiviano
illegally recorded his private conversation without his consent and then may have sold
the recording to TMZ.com when Sterling did not meet her demands.
It’s appalling how in America the race-baiting thought
police moved in against Sterling by publicly trashing and penalizing him with a $2.5
million fine. They also permanently banned
him from games; facilities and they are now trying to force him to sell his
personal property, the L.A. Clippers.
I’m not defending what Sterling may have said privately in a
moment of frustration but I doubt it reflects Sterling’s real feelings. He has never once hired, fired or
discriminated against anyone on account of race! He’s even given millions away to groups
including the NAACP!
Sterling has depended on African-American athletes as no
small part of his investment in the Clippers.
That’s not the action of a racist.
The African-American members of the Clippers and their
families should be standing guard around Sterling but many of these millionaire
players have instead abandoned him.
Have the race-baiters won?
Where is a Grand Jury investigation complete with subpoenas for TMZ,
Stiviano and her friends? Where are the
criminal charges?
Is our media so twisted that they can’t even try to be fair
about the slaughtering of a man's reputation with an unlawfully obtained recording?
This story is far from over.
I can’t wait to see Sterling exercising his own legal remedies against
those that have victimized him.
