Los Angeles Clippers owner (for now) Donald Sterling, after hearing his interview with Anderson Cooper, is bound to have his own reality show one day - probably titled, What Would You Say? (cue The Dave Matthews Band), Everybody Hates Donald, or The Big Douche Theory.
After having racist comments of his recorded and aired for the world to hear, Mr. Sterling decided to defend himself and attempt to partially dig himself out of a hole in an interview with Anderson Cooper. How did that go? Let's look at a few quotes, shall we?
Here is one of my favorites:
"I'm not a racist. I made a terrible, terrible mistake."
I think I'll play off that very quote from this point forward. For the following quotes, I think I'll just precede them with the words, "I'm not a racist, but..." Here we go...
- "I'm not a racist, but Jews, when they get successful, they will help their people. And some of the African-Americans, maybe I'll get in trouble again, they don't want to help anybody."
- "I'm not a racist, but he (Magic Johnson) acts so holy. He made love to every girl in every city in America and he had AIDS. And when he had those AIDS, I went to my synagogue and I prayed for him. I hoped he could live and be well. I didn't criticize him. I could have.."
- "I'm not a racist, but has he (Magic Johnson) done everything he can do to help minorities? I don't think so. I'll say it, I 'll say it, he's great, but I just don't think he is a good example for the children of Los Angeles."
- "I'm not a racist, but what has he done, can you tell me? Big Magic Johnson, what has he done? He's got AIDS. Did he help anyone in south LA?"
- "I'm not a racist, but what kind of a guy goes to every city, has sex with every girl, then catches HIV? Is that someone we want to respect and tell our kids about? I think he should be ashamed of himself. I think he should go into the background. But what does he do for the black people? He doesn't do anything."
While he's at it, he may want to add these lovely quotes to his resumè:
- "I'm not a racist, but I just don't like when black people... Oh, nevermind. I probably shouldn't go there. It would take too long to answer."
- "I'm not a racist, but basketball is really the only thing blacks are good at. That's not racist; that's a compliment!"
- "I'm not a racist, but when's the last time you didn't see a black person with a watermelon in one hand and a bucket of fried chicken in the other? I can't remember either."
- "I'm not a racist, but I think the darker you are, the more dangerous you are. So, therefore, since I'm very white, that doesn't make me racist or dangerous; it makes me tolerant and peaceful."
- "I'm not a racist, but I really don't care for black people very much. That doesn't make me racist. I'm just sayin... You know?"
I'm not a linguist, but I think it's about time Donald Sterling kept his ignorant comments to himself.
