L.A. Clippers owner, Donald Sterling is probably somewhere laying under a blanket after his racist comments about African Americans went public.
His Black Hispanic mistress V. Stiviano secretly recorded Sterling after she was seen posting pictures of herself and Black people on Instagram, including Magic Johnson.
Sterling admitted her photos embarrassed him: via TMZ audio :
– “It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?” (3:30)
– “You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that … and not to bring them to my games.” (5:15)
– “I’m just saying, in your lousy f******* Instagrams, you don’t have to have yourself with, walking with black people.” (7:45)
– “…Don’t put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don’t bring him to my games.” (9:13)
Magic Johnson replied to Sterling’s remarks calling it a “shame.”
“It’s a shame that Donald Sterling feels that way about African-Americans,” Johnson told TMZ.
“He has a team full of amazing African-American basketball players that are working to bring a championship to Clippers fans. The Clippers also have a strong minority fan base.”
LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s comments about African Americans are a black eye for the NBA.

I feel sorry for my friends Coach Doc Rivers and Chris Paul that they have to work for a man that feels that way about African Americans.
