Mr. Sterling....I do not believe for one minute you are a racist. I listened to the tape and it sounded like a set up. It sounded like she made you jealous and you just reacted. That's how I see it. The real racism is the way the entire media attacked you. The NBA showed its racism by acting so harshly so quickly. I thought all Americans have the freedom to associate with whom ever they please and if they choose not to hang out with African Americans that is a preference not a condemnation. A racist works against people of different race and hates them and does no good for them. I shivered when I listened to Charles Barclay critique your comments. I clearly remember Charles Barclay declaring and I quote, "I hate white people." The true racism will not end until African American icons are held to exactly the same standard of behavior as whites. God bless you and your team. You got a raw deal. Shame on the pundits!
