Whats the real issue with the recent Donald Sterling racism controversy

If you watch sports, and the news the past couple days, you have heard about Donald Sterling, and his rascism remarks and the fallout. Well I am gonna add my .02

If you really want to know what the problem is I would suggest following two people, Blogger Matt Walsh, and ESPN associate Bomani Jones. They will talk about the real issue here. It's not that Sterling is a rascist, but its more that everyone knew what he thought, and how he viewed minorities, yet for the most part is was no big deal because it didn't affect their wallets. But once it hit the airwaves in a way that caused companies to dropped their NBA sponsership or threaten it, then WOW he is the devil.

EVERYONE who ever had association with Sterling, knew what he was, YES even the other NBA owners and governing committee members. LA sports columisnts knew it, Coach Doc Rivers even knew it. This is not a hidden fact. But where was the uproar, where was the threat to boycott, why did the companies still sponser the team? Cause you and I did not know it, and thus we didn't know that these coporate sponsers associated with a "racist"

Well, an estranged wife sued the mistress who in turn needed a reason to extort some money from the A Hole, and Boom, a private conversation gets recorded, somehow given to TMZ, though the mistress who recorded claims she did not share it(LMAO), and wham it's now shared with the general public. And whats on this recording?? Racist remarks?? Probably given his history. But if you listen closely what was Sterling mad at his mistress for, who by the way is a mix of Black and Mexican. Was he saying that blacks are evil? Did he say they are lesser of people. NO. What he said was he did not want his mistress to put out in such a public manner(Instagram) that she was with a black person(Magic Johnson) at a game, and why, because the people he associates with, other billionares, might make judgements. Heck he even said she can sleep with Magic if she wanted too, even says Magic deserves to be admired for what he has done. Just do not publicize it.

Now I am not going to argue his comment are not rascist, again everyone knows what he is, and so they are are what they are, but why is it just now news, and why is it now as big a deal as it is. MONEY could be lost.

O and guess who will make money off of this? Donald Sterling. He bought the Clippers in the 80s for 12 Million, and now will sell for over a billion, and yes his team has made hime millions over the past years. And for those of you thinking he will lose money long term due to selling now, HE's 80 freaking years old. If he doesn't cash in now he might not get the chance.

Want to fix the real issue? When you see Rascism, Sexism, Bigotry, ETC address it then and there. Do not just accept it as part of life, do not just say well I cannot change anyting, do not just say, its not worth the trouble.

An angry man no more.

A little while ago, I took a serious look at my life, the way I viewed things and my complete lack of faith. Though I had known it for a long time, I finally accepted 2 things about my life that had to change. I had to let go of anger, and I had to have faith that God wasn't angry at me.

Once I did those two things I realized how so many of my actions I had taken in the past, where done out of anger, though at the time I thought they where out of Love, caring, or for a better purpose. Confused yet? Well I was. I held on to so much anger about things in my life, I would take it out on people in situations where they had wronged someone else is my opinion. I would point out the wrong doing, how it hurt another person, and come to the support of the said hurt person, by trying to show how wrong the 1st person was, and in the process I would release my anger onto them.

This would happen over and over, sometimes coming to the aid of the person who just before I was directing my anger to. It didn't matter to me who was hurt or doing to hurt, it just mattered that i had a person to direct my anger towards. Other than myself that is.

The comes the faith part. For so long I looked at the "so many bad things that I went through" as an excuse to say God was angry with me, so I returned was angry with him. My faith was, well I had faith that God hated and me that was about it. My wife made the analogy recently that God was always there in the room with her, she would wave to him from time to time, but never really had a relationship with him. Well if that's the case for me, well every time I saw him in the room, I gave him the finger and kept walking.

So then came the time I decided that this anger was going to be the end of me. Many things happened to lead to this realization, at this time I won't go into, but it happened. At the same time God was in that room, waiting for me to say hey I need help instead of F U. So I did.

Since then it is like night and day for me. Now don't get me wrong, Old habits die hard. I will probably always still be that guy who gets worked up about poor movie plots, and bad sports decisions. Ill even react poorly at times to some real life situations. But I know have experienced what it is like to not be angry at my daughter for making a dumb decision, though I still have had to scold her at times. But now in return over the past couple months, she has opened up to me in ways I never have experienced She hugs me randomly, and tells me things I thought I would have to force out of her. O and my relationship with Jennifer. Well lets just say, love is so much better feeling than anger.

So to end this post, I am gonna say, I am sorry to all those people in my life who have been negatively affected by the old angry man I was. He is no longer, and with Gods help that mans presence will be very limited.
