164: The Sterling Flap

So another octogenarian has expressed his true racial insensitivity, or as some would say, prejudice.  Without MSNBC, how would we ever possibly deal with rascals like Mr. Sterling?  The same way we deal with racism and prejudice in the rest of our daily lives.  We all encounter the inevitable and sometimes crude likes, dislikes, racial biases, cultural differences, and prejudices of our fellow humans on a more or less constant basis.  We form relationships based on our acceptance or rejection of what other persons think or believe.  The talking heads on TV would somehow have us believe that NBA players, who are the equivalent on an individual basis multi-million dollar per year businesses, are being irreparably harmed by accepting their millions from an owner who says and does foolish and impolitic things.  Certainly most, if not all, of the Clipper players were aware of Sterling's conduct long before this instant flap surfaced.  I suspect there are many other players with other NBA teams who are aware of just such conduct from other owners.  Maybe we should end all this nonsense and form a National Cultural Law Enforcement Agency and put everyone in jail who says something stupid.  Who would be left to run the prisons?
