DieHardBrownsFan Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 NBA Legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Rips BOTH SIDES in Donald Sterling ‘Scandal’ by Top Right News on April 29, 2014 in Entertainment, Race, Sports inShare18 by Scott Aberdeen | Top Right Sports The NBA players, media, and grievance mongers such as Al Sharpton are up in arms over vile L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s alleged racist remarks. But NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar today said a pox on both your houses – calling out the hypocrisy behind the whole affair and presenting by far the most rounded – and surprisingly libertarian — view thus far. Abdul-Jabbar, in an op-ed piece in TIME attacked the collective outrage emanating from America’s media over Sterling’s aremarks to his girlfriend, calling the publication of a private conversation “sleazy” and wondering why earlier, more public manifestations of racism failed to shock those such as Al Sharpton, and the NAACP. Abdul-Jabbar explains that we’re witnessing a veritable “finger-wagging Olympics . . . all over the latest in a long line of rich white celebrities to come out of the racist closet.” “Yes, I’m angry, too,” Abdul-Jabbar admits, “but not just about the sins of Donald Sterling. I’ve got a list.” That list includes Sterling’s girlfriend, V. Stiviano, whose voice is heard on the racially-loaded tape and who likely set the Clippers’ owner up. “Man, what a winding road she led him down to get all of that out,” he mocked. “She was like a sexy nanny playing ‘pin the fried chicken on the Sambo.’ She blindfolded him and spun him around until he was just blathering all sorts of incoherent racist sound bites that had the news media peeing themselves with glee.” And speaking of the news media? “They caught big game on a slow news day,” Abdul-Jabbar explained, “so they put his head on a pike, dubbed him Lord of the Flies, and danced around him whooping.” The former NBA all-star, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks and L.A. Lakers from 1969 to 1989, has no sympathy for Sterling. But he is upset that everyone is acting so surprised, noting that the NBA owner has said offensive comments in the past and has been sued over both housing and employment discrimination. The NAACP “did nothing” after Sterling was forced to pay a staggering $3 million fine for denying housing to Blacks, saying they “smell, and attract vermin,” Abdul-Jabbar noted. They were even going to present Sterling with an NAACP award on May 15th, with the Rev. Al Sharpton on hand. “Suddenly he says he doesn’t want his girlfriend posing with Magic Johnson on Instagram and we bring out the torches and rope. Shouldn’t we have all called for his resignation back then?” Abdul-Jabbar is correct, but it is worse than that. The NAACP accepted multiple grantsfrom the Donald T. Sterling Charitable Foundation and handed Sterling several “image awards” — despite full knowledge of his prior, massive fine for discrimination against Blacks in his slumlord housing. Abdul-Jabbar, perhaps channeling his closet libertarianism, also blasted the fact that Sterling’s private conversation — however racist — was suddenly broadcast nationwide. “Didn’t we just call to task the NSA for intruding into American citizen’s privacy in such an un-American way?” he asked, comparing the secret tape-recording to Mitt Romney’s embarrassing 47 percent remark, recorded without the then-candidate’s knowledge. “The making and release of this tape is so sleazy that just listening to it makes me feel like an accomplice to the crime,” Abdul-Jabbar fumed. “We didn’t steal the cake but we’re all gorging ourselves on it.” “So, if we’re all going to be outraged,” the former NBA star wrapped up, “let’s be outraged that we weren’t more outraged when his racism was first evident. Let’s be outraged that private conversations between people in an intimate relationship are recorded and publicly played. Let’s be outraged that whoever did the betraying will probably get a book deal, a sitcom, trade recipes with Hoda and Kathie Lee, and soon appear on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ and ‘Dancing with the Stars.’” Brilliant.

MLD Woody Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Is that website your homepage DieHard? I really think that may be the only place you post stories from. At least Cal has the decency to move from one right wing news blog to another, lol. Both sides aren't completely clean from this, I agree. That doesn't change what he said though and what he believes. It does suck that this gold digging bitch will now be famous too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Did Oprah actually say old white people? I mean, there are some archaic views held by the older generation in our society. As these people die out their old beliefs will fade with them. Racism, homophobia, religion, etc. Each generation can try to improve on the previous one in this regard.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Absolutely. Maybe not in your opinion, but look at the numbers world wide. You live in a bubble Woody. By the way, Although born and raised Catholic, I haven't been to church in decades. I guess I threw you off with my old signature of bible verses. I do believe in a higher power.

Westside Steve Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 So no safe place from Woody and his religion bashing... Anyway I guess the league has the right to do whatever they want. I personally think this is a huge overreaction. As I said before the creepy old bastard was paying this shit house whore millions just to hang around. He asked her not to bring black men to the game with her. He didn't even use the N word. Especially after hearing snoop doggie doos vulgarity one has to ask themselves if it really offends anyone? And if racism is so horrible why haven't people like snoop and Jackson and Sharpton been vilified and chased out of the business? Seriously, when that kind of shit is not even question but any white person who says anything is forced out of a job? When John Kerry can call Israel an apartheid state without repercussion? Not defending the old bastard, though I'm sure some of these idiots will accuse me of racism, it's just that the double standard gets sickening sometimes.

MLD Woody Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I wouldn't say I was bashing it. I was just compare to other old ides that will fade with time or already are. Religion clearly isn't as important as it used to be and more and more are choosing to ignore it. We are clearly less racist as a society than we were years ago. We're also clearly more open to homosexuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicIsForSquares Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 He is a dipshit and she is a worthless gold digging cunt who lured him into a recorded rant. The league only gives a shit because they could potentially lose revenues from people boycotting Clippers games. The Lakers are in the toilet so the league needs an LA team that will draw a regular audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 "There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die," she said. Depending on the site you go to, there may or may not be the word "White" in the article's title. Your RealMericaPatriotNews, GunsGiveMeBonersBlog, and Top Right "News" type sites generally add the White part. I even saw an exclamation point at the end once or twice, lol.
