Clippers - Donald Sterling banned for life and fined 2 mil...

[Icelord]

As we previously reported ... Sterling pledged $3 MIL to UCLA for kidney research with $425K up front.  The school is returning the $425K and refusing to accept the rest.



Ironic that his money for kidney research is being returned, as blacks are the most at-risk population for kidney disease.

A lot of that is their fondness of salt. They eat an insane amount of it in their diet. That's been documented. Not really a genetic predisposition.

All money "aint" good money.

But you had no problem before you heard his opinions. So because of his opinions, you would rather see "your people" suffer? Lol!!!

Why African-Americans and not blacks in other countries who share the same genetic pool?

HMM!

couldn't be the lifestyle choices, could it

[tommywishbone]

I would train legs with Sterling anytime. Seems like a solid individual.

Why don't you try reading the study I linked to? Your questions might be answered.

HMM!

It's probably both.  A genetic predisposition made worse by Western living.   And African blacks don't live as long so that increases the likelihood of  a disease manifesting

lots of butthurt pussies on this planet, who the fuck gets offended by something somebody they've never met said???

You have a guy who routinely gives millions and millions of dollars to help people for all kinds of different causes and now that is ending because feelings got hurt.  Its pathetic really.

He gives the money to appear like he gives a shit. When he doesn't. He is a billionaire, the money he gave is a drop in the bucket, and chances are he can write it off on his taxes. It makes him appear charitable. And he is not the only one who does it.

He doesn`t have to give a dime to anyone though.  Are you really saying that the millions and millions he has given over his lifetime has all been worthless?

lol from what i understand about sterling he doesnt do things to make himself look good.

chances are the guy legit is wanting to help out these organisations.

adonis has a great point. turn away millions that could go towards helping people, because of the views someone has regarding a race, said in the privacy of his own home.

there is such an infringement on this guys RIGHTS its almost unconscionable.

where is your constitution? does it not mean anything?

Who cares if he truly gives a shit about the charities he donates to. The money is still used for very good causes.
People make absolutely no fucking sense these days. Always caught up on the most ridiculous things, losing focus on the big picture.

TA, of course he says that. I'm willing to bet that he does that for appearances and tax write offs.
He benefits by that and the "appearance" of seeming like a good person. The organizations benefit from his donations. This is why I think he was given a life time achievement award from the NAACP and was going to be giving it again. He bought his award.

Bizarro thread. A couple ideologies 180ed here, arguing the other side's case. Interesting.

[tu_holmes]

He is a pure idiot and wants the government to control everything.

I can't believe that a good Republican would agree to such things.

Joe knows better.

I agree with your last statement. This is a ruse in the big scheme of things.

Generally, "normal" people give to charities that they care about. Which is one of the big issues on here with the Josh/Junior debacle. Remember? Josh cares about animals...and so he does or gives to those charities.

There are rich people who do the same. And then there are rich people who don't and do it to project the image that they care.

This man owns the Clippers a Basketball team with a lot of black men on it, considers black people "the enemy", and if he can make money off of the enemy. And the enemy wins games for him. So be it.

So what?

He can just keep it all of he likes and say fuck you to everyone... instead, he actually does give back to the community.

People are insane.

I should email him and say, hey man... I'm an interracial guy who would be happy to take the money those organizations don't want.

Fuck them.

So, basically...buying people's silence or "likes" is ok? Or if it benefits does benefit people?
What about the moral and ethical implications? Seemed like  Uncle Junior was doing the same thing on here.

It's like this---"Hey Tu, I hate you what you stand for...here's some money for XYZ cause, now shut the hell up."

Tu: "Yes, yes...thanks...I will."

Rich Mofo: "That's right, I thought so...(pathetic...)"

But this wasn't new. His prejudices were already well known, just not TMZ material, simply because it hadn't been recorded. Yet they still accepted his money and honored him with awards.

I could care less about the stupid games he plays with the NAACP. I'm talking about the millions he tried to donate for kindney disease research. That money helps everyone. Turning that down because he told some whore in a private conversation that he doesn't like black people is fucking insane.

[bradistani]

false advertising. bitch isn't naked at all.. mercifully

He can still donate money.  After this blows over, and it will, people will be lined up to take his money.
