Donald Sterling and his comments

[AKAK]

"He's preparing for his career"
"College"
"No, carnival. Last year he was the pixie dust spreader on the tilt-a-whirl...maybe this year he can be guessing people's weight or barking for the yak woman"

Oh, the yak woman, don't get me started.

 

[BUCKYLE]

I'd hit it.

Sterling needs an FSU "full time handler".

Hey, now.

Say what you will about Sterling, he hasn't been caught with his hands in the snow crab freezer.

She's a hell of a cook. Ugly as sin though

This article may rustle some Jimmies but i think it well explains the struggles blacks have living in our current society and why their incarceration rates are so much higher than the norm. We should not lower our standards for them but rather insist that they pull themselves up to meet ours.

Really? You're going to link this like it is something kind of/sort of /maybe relative? Or that it just supports your world view..

American Renaissance has been described as a white supremacist publication by the Anti-Defamation League[1] and by Espeth Reeve of The Atlantic Wire.[2]

Having owned several businesses--hired and fired people of all different cultures--I'd say the uneducated white US American is by far the worst. Lazy, bitter and feels entitled.

That's you're opinion.

OK, you SOB, the minute I can drag my ass off the couch, you're in big trouble.

Empirical, yes. Backed by 40 years of restaurant and wholesale restaurant supplier experience. And I am white (with kin folk in West Va.and PA).

"This article is right of center thus it's a white supremacist website rendering it's opinion invalid." Alinski much?

I used to train horses and I've seen the bottom of the barrel of the white race, not a pretty sight. However, having been many times one of only say 12-15 white guys sitting on a bench for a basketball game in the gym of an mostly black inner city school I have seen and heard some shit. Next time you go to New Orleans take a little stroll through Louis Armstrong Park and get back to me.

I see what you are saying, but I agree with at least part of the below...I mean if it were up to me I wouldn't wear polo shirts and khakis to work every day and I like to curse...but those things aren't up to me, if I come in with Bermuda shorts on and start dropping f-bombs in staff meetings, it won't matter what kind of job I do. Behavior at work has nothing to do with race. It's called a "professional environment" for a reason.

A "professional environment" standard that was constructed pretty much entirely by white people, specifically rich white people, which was the original point.

Aside from that, you can walk around America in 2014 with visible tats and a lip ring and offend pretty much no one.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Good, mostly civil (Kyle was involved so what the fuck you gonna do?), discussion all the way around on this one. I have enjoyed gaining some perspective from others in this thread.

So in that spirit......

There are a lot of blacks in position of power or owners of businesses...plenty who work in academia and have their own labs too. I have yet to see one where the expectations are any different. Did they all "sell out to whitey"? Or are they merely conducting business effectively? You can try and spin professional conduct as institutional racism all you want...but professional conduct is professional conduct, and it doesn't matter who owns the business or runs the show.
