Commissioner Silver will more than likely get the 75% supermajority vote he needs to oust Sterling, so now the question is….will Shelly Sterling want to run the team? California’s community property laws dictate that Shelly has a right to 50% of everything Donald owns…most importantly, that will be the Clippers. Reportedly, she’s a long time fan of the game, and she really loves the team.“When I was there she was very good and kind to me,’’ Harper said. “I was at a game last year, sat down and ate with her. She loves the team and the sport and loves basketball. She knows what’s going on. It’s probably going to hurt her more than him.”

TEXAS – Despite the hype surrounding Texas Democrat Wendy Davis’s run for governor, the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association didn’t include her state in a list of top targets in 2014.
Ms. Davis, a state senator, gained national acclaim for filibustering a bill last year that increased regulation of abortion clinics and banned abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Polls show Republican nominee Greg Abbott with a double-digit lead in the state, which hasn’t elected a Democrat since 1994.
“We’re hopeful in Texas but we all understand that Democrats haven’t won Texas in a long time,” DGA Chairman and Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin told reporters Tuesday at the Third Way think tank. He added, “We hope this will be our year.” (read more)

After reading some of the comments surrounding recent articles and our presentations about the LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling and the payments to the NAACP, I just realized that many readers don’t know about “Indulgence Fees” or how they work.
Indeed it almost seems as if people think the term “Indulgence Fee” is some form of snark on my part made up to poke fun at the Black Grievance Industry. It’s not.
My sincere apologies, I took it for granted people actually knew how this works.
Indulgence Fees are how the BGI operate. The NAACP and other entities within the Black Grievance Industry have an entire fee schedule structured to outline how much is paid to whom based on their status within the organization. Speaking fees, protest fees, hosting fees, are coordinated within the Indulgence Fee concept depending on the venue.
In addition the leadership within the structural BGI determine the fee schedules, or rates, for pre-paid “indulgences”, and also consult on the post-sin infraction fee rates.

… […] “the poor guy’s girlfriend (undoubtedly ex-girlfriend now) is on tape cajoling him into revealing his racism. Man, what a winding road she led him down to get all of that out. She was like a sexy nanny playing “pin the fried chicken on the Sambo.” She blindfolded him and spun him around until he was just blathering all sorts of incoherent racist sound bites that had the news media peeing themselves with glee”.
(CBS) NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced Tuesday Clippers owner Donald Sterling will be suspended for life and fined $2.5 million in response to the racist remarks he allegedly made in a recorded audio clip.
Commissioner Silver was specifically clear to indicate Mr. Sterling was being punished for his personal views, not for his prior actions or behaviors – his views.
“Whether or not these remarks were initially shared in private, they are now public, and they represent his views.”
Silver spoke to the press at 11 a.m. news conference from New York, stating he will “do everything in my power” to force the sale of the Clippers.

There’s always a particular ONE WAY conversational aspect that rises up whenever the issue of racism reaches the mainstream news media; and it screams hypocrisy. Enter the latest foray – racist owner of the LA Clippers, Donald Sterling.
About two months ago Spike Lee said “white people need to leave Harlem” as he went on a diatribe decrying how “white folk” have moved in to his old neighborhood. According to Lee “with white gentrification comes disruption“, but apparently that’s ok – it must not be racism because he’s able now to protest a white Donald Sterling for expressing a similar racial sentiment:
(CNSNews.com) – In 20 percent of American families in 2013, according to new data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), not one member of the family worked.

A family, as defined by the BLS, is a group of two or more people who live together and who are related by birth, adoption or marriage. In 2013, there were 80,445,000 families in the United States and in 16,127,000—or 20 percent–no one had a job. (more…)
According to the article (screen grab above) this is what TMZ quote Al Sharpton as having said:
“No one should be allowed to own a team if they have in fact engaged in this kind of racial language.”
“We are prepared at National Action Network to rally in front of the NBA headquarters if this matter is not immediately dealt with.”
However, I no longer take quotes or even transcribes as accurate – because I’ve noted a trend of manipulation, especially with the Bundy story. So I watched the interview, and have transcribed every word from Sharpton. TMZ’s Al Sharpton interview is transcribed below so you can look for those exact quotations, and you’ll note they do not exist. (more…)
