I think a big point of making the "I told you so" statements, is not to say I told you so, so much as to say, "quit calling us angry black folks when we point out racism." Shit is real. and it's extremely frustrating when it takes a love triangle and side-piece revenge story to bring any real attention to the problem.…
Sorry but you totally missed the point of what he was saying. I think you need to go back and listen again. This had nothing to do with him beating his chest and saying "I told you so". Its so funny how people like you always try to take attention away from what the real issue is. You always try to point the finger…
I actually agree with Jones because what he is taking issue with is broader than Sterling. He's talking about the institutional racism people in power like Sterling have been enacting for years in addition to those implicitly privileged and benefitting from those kind of actions.
In terms of sanctimonious? Black…
He made the point politely years ago. And nobody noticed. It made it onto Deadspin and other places not just because it was so damn right but because it was so damn angry and exasperated. Bomani's entire point is that people NEED to be more angry about Sterling's other transgressions. If you take from this piece, "Oh,…
I don't think it's helpful to the situation to distract from his message by pointing out what you perceive to be flaws in his delivery. This happens every. single. time. someone who has every reason to be angry expresses that anger. Someone who ultimately agrees with them puts aside that agreement to scold them for…
It's not a question of "I told you so" – it's a question of people refusing, choosing not, failing, neglecting, to recognize racism (and top-down class warfare) and object to it except in its most superficial and, he seems to think (probably correctly), least consequential forms. He's not berating people for how…
Bomani Jones- the voice of the 35 and under NBA fan, and actually says the things that need to be said. Love the guy.
It sucks, doesn't it? It's as if people can't handle a complex emotion. Hatred and disgust for being "a stupid whore" just dominates most of these responses, and only about 4 or 5 of them even acknowledge that she is still a human. How could you listen to that 9 minute conversation and not see that she's being…
You and the person you responded to both acknowledge and understand intersectionality! Yay! Damn, my post is the most seen thing I've ever had on one of the Gawker media sites, and while lots of people starred it, I would say that 90% of the responses are "Why do you feel bad? She's a gold digging whore so she…
She was with this guy for 50 years! Either she was living in hell all that time or some of it has rubbed off on her. There's no way you live with someone that long and not have a similar view to that.
I find it astounding she has the gaul to show up and pull this we'll make it together crap. She's desperately trying to save face and run a coup to become the first major female owner of a men's basketball franchise. (Jen Buss inherited and shares ownership with siblings and kin). Which would really help out the NBA…
Yeah, but he's been spending millions of those dollars on his girlfriend. Saying she agrees with him isn't going to help her win the lawsuit against his mistress. She's also probably trying to position herself to get the team in the divorce.
"Oh, he just woke up one morning last year and was suddenly racist. I swear! I love nigg...I mean, African Americans!"
"fucked up family" Now before y'all trip Shelly isn't clean in Sterlings bullshit at all, she had a big hand in the housing discrimination lawsuit.
YES. Yes, I will cheer. I will cheer anytime someone speaks out against a racist, no matter who they are or what cultural significance they hold.
BREAKING: NBA officials have worked out a deal with La Liga where Donald Sterling will trade his ownership stake in the Clippers to Fernando Roig Alfonso in exchange for his ownership in Villareal, giving Sterling a fan base he can finally embrace.
Let's take this a step further. Not only is it VERY rare to find absolute racists who think they are racist but they will INSIST that it is YOU who is the fucking racist for bringing their racism up in the first place. Again, what has fascinated me about this is that it is an object lesson or window into the early…
At first, listening in on their conversation felt very strange. But wow, it's fascinating the way this discussion/conversation/argument goes. Sterling is incredibly good at manipulating her emotions. the first couple of minutes are just nonsensical ramblings of an old racist who doesn't understand that other races…
