Take on Donald Sterling

In a week which started out with Bert Cooper being the biggest one, Donald Sterling took back his title as biggest racist at SCP.   

The outrage is everywhere, everybody has had a chance to give their (same exact) opinion and Donald Sterling has been justifiably vilified.    I have no doubt that this old coot is a blatant racist- his history as a real-estate owner is riddled with discrimination including the biggest fine ever paid for housing discrimination.  His history is littered with vile comments and insinuations the worst of which might have been his desire to have a plantation set up on his basketball team with a southern coach overseeing black players.  He's also taken his desire as quasi plantation owner even further when he's allegedly brought lady friends into the locket room to gawk over his stable of beautiful black men like they were thoroughbreds.  

But I wonder if yesterday's story is actually true.  I have no doubt that he could have said all those things but it sounds like a bit of a set up job.  Maybe it's true but it just seems odd to demand that your half black girlfriend not be seen publicly with somebody as vanilla as Magic Johnson.   On top of that the timing just seems too perfect right at the cusp of the playoffs.  Even the insinuations to have his girlfriend invite black men into their bed seems like they went just a little too far.  

Sometime the truth will come out, I doubt it will cast Sterling in a very positive light but when the story is this outrageous and when it is apparently released from somebody who Sterling is suing, I have my doubts.  Then again, if there is an owner capable of it, it's probably this loon
