Last night (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I noted that Donald Sterling, owner of the National Basketball Association's Los Angeles Clippers, was allegedly caught on tape chiding a person who is apparently his girlfriend for "taking pictures with minorities" and "associating with black people." He also tells her that she is a "delicate" "Latina or white girl," and because of that doesn't understand why she would "associate with black people." He doesn't want her bringing black people, including NBA legend Magic Johnson, to games.
It turns out that Sterling must be known in liberal and politically correct circles for far more than the few small political donations from two decades ago identified in last night's post. The Clippers owner is scheduled in less than three weeks to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP at its 100th anniversary event, where Al Sharpton and LA Mayor Eric Garcetti will also be honored as persons of the year (HT to a NewsBusters commenter):

So the MSM and the rest of us are supposed to go along with this I presume.The sheeple take orders well.Since I've known people like him all of my life (less affluent and much less important of course)I pay him no mind.
The NAACP have anounced they will not be giving him this award any more. He was scheduled to recieve it before he made stupid statements.
I think he has always made stupid statements, just got caught finally.
A meaningless award presented by a phantom organization.The targeted recipients could care less.
He got a NAACP award previously; this was gonna be a duplicate with slightly different caption. He contributes cash to them; they get him a feel-good plaque.
And he's a big Democrat.
He is supposedly free to speak. What he said was offensive, stupid and really didn't make much sense.
I'm guessing a lot of NBA players will now be purging their playlists of insensitive lyrics?
