It is open season for the racists.

I don’t know much about the Clippers or Donald Sterling, but if I had to pick someone to be disgusted and disappointed by…it would definitely be him. Like slave owners, he’s made his fortune off the backs of blacks. People he clearly has no love or respect for. Mr. Sterling has a documented history of racism as it relates to blacks and Latinos, so it’s ironic that this latest outing of him would be at the hands of his black Latina girlfriend. Talk about a oxy-moron! No pun intended. I suspect she recorded that conversation for some sinister personal reason. She probably knew that hewas going to say all kinds of stupid stuff, and he did. Her reasons my have been suspect, but she did the right thing.

As sickening as we might find his disgusting rant, he’s not alone. There are lots more where he came from. Until people like him die off, we’ll always be saddled with the burden of racism. It is our cross to bare. It is also our lesson learn. We must come to a collective realization that, there is no real discernible difference between the “races.” We really are just one. The only thing that makes us different is the color of our skin on the outside. We all bleed red.

We must stop supporting men like him with our hard earned dollars. We must make him accountable, and we must begin to teach the next generation that it’s not what’s on the outside that matters.
