We Are ONE!

Donald Sterling and girlfriend
This past weekend longtime racist and Clippers owner Donald Sterling was caught on tape in conversation with his girlfriend (who is Mexican and African American) saying he doesn't want black people attending the games, especially NBA legend Magic Johnson after she posted a picture with the NBA legend on Instagram at a LA Dodgers game. Over the last few days the world has been in uproar about this situation, protests and walkouts were in place by 5 NBA teams that were to play Tuesday night if the players' didn't like the decision the league was to make Tuesday afternoon. NBA commissioner Adam Silver banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the NBA for life (he's 80 so that's not a lot of time) and it was really the only move that could be made. Sterling has the mentality of a slave master 400 years ago and not of a businessman in American where we are proud to have a black President. A lot of NBA owners, players and former players seem to be happy about the decision to ban Sterling from the league forever and the NBA has stated they will forced Sterling to force the team and hopefully he complies so we can put this ugliness behind us and move forward as an equal society.
