Racism: Still On Donald Sterling
Everyone should listen to the YouTube clip of Donald Sterling's conversation with his mixed-race girlfriend!
Although it feels like he was set up by his girlfriend, Vanessa Stiviano - who has Mexican and black parents-(cajoled to reveal his racism), those words still came from his mouth
You cringe with each racially bigoted sentence the 80-year old makes
It's not so much about the words used ( at least he didn't use the N-word ) but the mindset behind those words:
"..It's been that way historically ( Racism) "
"..May be you wanna adjust to the world ( accept Racism) .."
Even more cringe-worthy is the fact that 'People' brought his girlfriend's association with minorities to his knowledge 'People' = fellow Racists
What's soul-destroying is that he was soooo matter-of-factly about it i.e it is what it is ( you can't change it, girl )
The annoying thing is that he is right!!
Racism exist in society, it is taught from generation to generation, in my opinion - no matter how much we try to believe that things are different now
Thanks for reminding us, Donald Sterling!
