    I'm not condoning the venom that leaks out of the pea brain of Clippers owner Donald Sterling. The man is without question a racist & a moron BUT......with that said I've just got to ask, "Why is it that whenever a white says something about people of color they get verbally ripped to shreds or fired from there livelihood". While assholes like Sharpton, Farakahn or even our presidents pastor Wright can throw darts at whites, have protests, create as much tension between races as they can. Cause nothing but hate with there vile anti white marches & yet get a free pass?

    I truly dispise bigots of any race, but I just down see any balance here.

    How bout that Jesse Jackson guy, running all over the world saving this and saving that while his kid ripped off the public trust in Illinois. Then wants a place of his choosing to serve his time.

    He's a fucking slum lord, his words pall in comparison to his actions. I'm struggling to understand why the NBA never took action on him in the past, oh wait didn't he float Bus a loan to buy the Lakers? How did he ever get not one, but two man of the year awards from the NAACP?

    He is the NBAs version of Dean Spanos, just that Spanos played the economic card with tenants and not overtly race.

    The problem has always been....RFK wrote the Civil Rights Act of 64. LBJ rewrote the Act, giving "separate rights to blacks", the original law and Act by RFK, called for "equal rights"...its a f'kd up as that.

    Read a great speech given by a African-American Professor at Georgetown, documented in the New Republic, back in 82. He spelled out as much, and said, why do we have only black colleges, Grambling, Southern, yet its against the law to have all white colleges.

    Another thing I despise, is the nomer-"african American". Most people of this sociological group, are much further removed, up to 10 generations or more, from their motherland. I am a 3rd generation French Canadien, yet you rarely if ever hear me, never introduce myself, as a French Canadien American.

    I have a mulatto for a niece as well. I am not a prejudice man. I have more black friends than most people. Their is trash of every nationality and sociological group. Yet, I have seen no other group, teach their kids, to claim and yell, "your picking on me because I am black." I saw this abused first hand in our local schools, when Kim was working for the schools. Any kid could get in a fight on the playground, and if they were white, or mexican, no problem they took their lumps, and write ups to see the Principal. Not black kids, and I'm not generalizing either. All black kids cried foul. As much, I saw it happen on the streets when my brother was a L.A. County Sheriff Deputy. One reason Prisons have a high black population is not due to racial profiling, its a matter of blacks being a higher un-employed group, a more gang banging membership group, a law breaking group, who have the lowest percentage of kids, seeking a higher education, even when College Scholarships loom simply because of the color of their skin.

    As much, in High School, a black kid cannot be tested for entry with any literacy testing. A fairly new law, giving this group carte blance to illiteracy.
    NO-I am born and raised in America, thus I am an American, first, foremost, and nothing else. My heritage may reside in Quebec, but more-so now in America. To give a improper name, then special separate rights, for a sociological group is flat out wrong.

    If so, then lets give our Native American Indians first shot, as they were screwed much more-so than any African Americans. The Indians were here first, and we stole their land. We pillaged and raped their land, destroyed their food supply, all in the name of progress. They were NATIVES...AF-Americans, were not natives to begin with. The Mexicans, well that's another story, sure we took their land too, yet had Santa Ana not of became a cold blooded murder, then perhaps they would still own Caly, AZ, perhaps N.M. too, yet they might as well of forfeited their rights to this land. Besides, a good part of it, was already owned by Napoleon.

    If that is to harsh with anyone, then you got your head out of the sand....get a clue. Read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", then tell me you feel dissed.

    If one finds offense with this, then shame on you, wake up, don't be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution.
    It's ok in this day and age, to worship Farakkan, Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the biggest racists since George Wallace, even worse, Louis wanted to kill whitey...!
    Go fkn figure...you tell me, ..........

    IMO the only group of people that have the right to be called, ----- Americans are the Asians since most of them in this country were actually born there.

    For myself I've always held the view that I am an American. I was born here, raised here, served in the Armed Forces of this Country. I spent 12 years of my life running around the globe and in spite of all things it is still the best Country on the Planet. People can talk about their Dah Dah Dah American crap all they want, go back to your alleged "Country of Origin" and see how you are perceived.

    I had all I could do from choking on my morning breakfast when I read a quote from Al Sharpton. " There is just no room for racism & bigoted rants in today's society." WHAT! are you f'king kidding me?

    I've often wondered the same thing... just because you aren't white doesn't mean you aren't a racist... a racist can be a person of any race... not just whites... I'm really tired of Sharpton, Jackson, Wright, Oprah, and even mr obama himself getting away with clearly racist remarks...

    Sharpton should've never been taken seriously again after the Tawana Brawley fiasco. He smeared and ruined the lives of innocent people for his own gains. I've never seen him once apologize for his actions.

    And yet he's treated like a king, recently being invited to speak at Yankee stadium to honor Nelson Mandela & Jackie Robinson. Shaking hands with the president & becoming the new best friend of our mayor. I seriously just don't f'king get it.

    Nor do I anticipate him to do so as he thinks he's better than anyone just like everyone else I listed...

    My Hat is off to you Michael...you had and worked the hardest job in the world, no doubt. With little to no reward, other than a thank you..! It's men like you who have forged our Nation's Freedoms. Thank You my Friend.
