Meanwhile Sharpton pointed out that civil unions for gays would be a case of separate but equal and that doesn't work.

Makes racist comments that got made public, was asked to leave a league made up primarily of black employees. So hard to fucking understand.

Donald Sterling had a loooong ass history of being absolutely horrible and racist to employees of the LA Clippers. His removal came late.

He also has faced many accusations of breaking the Fair Housing Act.

Ah yes the mantra that Sharpton is the problem, not racism itself. You realize race issues are just a fraction of what he talks about?

Trump did the exact same thing and he WON the White House.

You know, and be honest, if Sharpton was pro-Trump, he'd already be nominated for a cabinet post.

to be fair donald sterling actually made a shit ton of money by having his NBA team taken away...just saying

How tho?

He was forced to sell his team by the NBA commissioner and made 2 billion dollars selling the team

Makes sense. Thanks!

hoxanator
Right but he coulda made money in perpetuity until he decided to sell.
illbeyoursledgehammer
He made 2 billion, dollars selling the team hes also valued as having a personal wealth of over 3 billion alone before the 2 billion sale
berneigh
Dude's like 85 years old. Perpetuity doesn't exist for someone like that.
hoxanator
Well him, his trust, whatever.
gingertrain
I would argue perpetuity is much more attainable at that age, it's just dramatically shorter when you do.
NGC5189
That's because it wasn't taken away. He was definitely pressured into selling it. But in the end he made the decision.
illbeyoursledgehammer
It was taken away. Silver did all that he was allowed to by NBA owner bylaws, and forced Sterling to sell the team. Silver had already
illbeyoursledgehammer
fined Sterling the 2.5 million maximum allowed and banned him from NBA facilities for life before Sterling sold the team.
illbeyoursledgehammer
TLDR Sterling had no choice and was forced to sell his team since the NBA cant legally take teams from owners
zorrofuerte
Well the rest of the owners voted on it I believe and at least 22 of the 29 were in favor of having Sterling removed as owner of the 1/2
berneigh
And the team is better for it. Win-win

Claiming that Mexico was sending rapists and drug dealers into the US in the speech where he announced his run for President
odinragnarok
Mexico was not sending them, but the people who came over illegally, some did rape.... but i guess that is okay if they are brown?
bbueller
Falsely claimed he saw 1000s of Muslims celebrating after 9/11. He didn't, these claims cannot be substantiated by any other person
odinragnarok
You tube, to name a source. - Also not racist. Also Muslim isn't a race. that is 3 you are out.
bbueller
Literally 1st speech. Called Mexicans rapists, killers, "and some, I assume, are good people"
odinragnarok
said some of the Mexican cartel/cyotes (people who traffic illegals over for a living) were rapists but nice miss quote.
wizardboy24
That, and the fact that he thinks Mexico is SENDING them here. Like "Hey, all you bad Mexicans. Go to the US. It'll be funny!"

Because he's black.

And a crook, racist and a lying asshole who claims to speak for "Black America".

And don't forget he's black too
Drshwing
Well the problem with that train of thought is that it assumes trump voters weren't already going to vote for him.
Fatpicasso
Nah, he became president because dems didn't vote
BattloidKouji
This is the literal reason he won. dem turnout was the worst it's been in a long time, especially in the state's that ended up mattering.
crann
The media was telling us she was going to win. so the dem's who were voting against trump but not necessarily for clinton felt they could
crann
safely keep their voting conscious clear and not vote while still keep trump out of the white house. That's my guess as to what happened.
honestb
More people voted for Hillary in 2016 than any other candidate in US history except Obama in 08. Just in the wrong states.
