Donald Sterling, the NBA, the Clippers, and Me


With tip-off last weekend signifying the real start of the NBA season my natural tendencies of the watching television started coming to the forefront. I have kind of been tuned out of TV as I have been writing and reading these past couple of months in a way that took me back to before my children were born.

Still, I fell off that wagon. I was watching games during the week, not writing, not reading, not doing much but being a couch potato. Then the “brilliant” Donald Sterling made his comments that were shared on TMZ.

I am not surprised by the comments as I feel those comments are shared by a majority of millionaires and billionaires which is why the world is in the condition it is in with ideas of population control, eugenics, miseducation, neocolonialism, and more still pillaging the lands of people of color.

It is the same 1% that also contribute to the for profit prison system. The funny thing about this is that it just got out to the public which means that for whatever reason he has angered some of his friends who have decided to throw him under the bus. Somebody at Warner Brothers Entertainment does not like him as all these guys move in the same circle.

So I am thankful for the remarks because it was a slap to the face to wake up and stop giving these clowns my attention and make sure that I am spending my precious time creating. It is not a slight to the basketball players or coaches who are just doing their jobs. Although they do have a voice until I am out there putting myself on the line every day defending our people in a public setting where I face their same level of critique I cannot be mad at them for doing what they feel is best. I think we look to people to do things for us. But we are still going to the games, watching them on television; not even doing basic things to make a difference. But now that this rant is out of my system. Back to editing Circle 7 which should be coming soon. I am not going to put a date out anymore but know it will be a classic and worth the wait. Thank you for reading the thoughts of a normal lunatic.
