http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2014/04/26/donald-sterling-clippers-owner-black-people-racist-audio-magic-johnson

L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling told his GF he does NOT want her bringing black people to his games ... including Magic Johnson ... and it's ALL on tape.

TMZ Sports has obtained audio of Sterling making the racist declaration during a heated argument on April 9th with V. Stiviano ... after she posted a photo on Instagram posing with Magic. 

Sterling rails on Stiviano -- who ironically is black and Mexican -- for putting herself out in public with a black person (she has since taken the pic down).  But it doesn't end there.  You have to listen to the audio to fully grasp the magnitude of Sterling's racist worldview. Among the comments:

-- "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?" (3:30) 

-- "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want.  The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)

-- "I’m just saying, in your lousy f******* Instagrams, you don’t have to have yourself with, walking with black people." (7:45)

-- "...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me.  And don't bring him to my games." (9:13)

Sterling has a documented history of allegedly racist behavior -- he's been sued twice by the federal government for allegedly refusing to rent apartments to Blacks and Latinos. 

He was also sued by former Clippers exec Elgin Baylor for racial discrimination -- though a jury was ultimately not convinced and shot down Baylor's case.  

Sterling has been separated from his wife Shelly for years.  She remains a key player in running the team and sources tell us she's "mortified" by Sterling's comments.

We have made several calls to Sterling and his people ... so far, no word back.

I'd recommend that you listen to the entire interview to understand the scope and context of his comments. This is why its irksome to hear idiots talk about how we live in a "post-racial society" and don't need things like Affirmative Action. There's a difference between your run-of-the-mill racist and a Donald Sterling. In a world where money dictates politics, men like him can really erode at the progress made in years past.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

I heard the rumors too but there is nothing like confirmation, to dispel all doubt. I came off judging his girlfriend harshly because you know she was ****ing him but gold-diggers got to eat too I suppose. Then again, I use to have sex with someone who didn't like Black people so am I really better? The heart wants, what it wants.

The rich put a few of us blacks out there and even a President and want us to think that all's well. You have Jay Z and a bunch of Black sports stars and singers and all is supposed to be a OK. But it's not. We are still being held down and held back. It's just being done in a sly slick way. Look at that fool in Nevada I think his name is Bundy. You see and heard what he said. I believe at least 20% of America and mainly in the south but in the North too think that way and are still racists and dislike Blacks and Latinos.

I generally use the barometer of people who still consider Barack Obama to be "Muslim", "Kenyan" and/or "the anti-Christ" as an indication of people who share Bundy's sentiment. According to different sources, that accounts for approximately 20%-50% of a certain political group. I suppose the better question though is to think of what could be done about it?

He's disgusting, and has a long history of being disgusting- thats why when people say Dolan is the worst owner in the NBA, I think they must have weird values.

Yeah I usually don't like to throw the term gold digger around but It's hard not to have that thought sneak in your mind when you look at her and then him.

As for Sterling, I don't know what the NBA can really do about this to be honest. The players can do something but I doubt they will.

Yea I heard it this morning. Crazy stuff. Grade A douchebag. The players and coaches can't even strike because he signs their checks. Maybe the fans will take a stand. Hurt em where it counts

honestly i hope doc rivers and chris paul and whoever else on that team has a meeting with sterling after the playoffs. this is so over the line that it needs to be addressed.

From what I got from listening to it was that he didn't want his GF to put up pictures on her social media of her with minorities(Even Magic freaking Johnson) because his associates, peers, probably family members as well, wouldn't approve of it.

He doesn't have a strong enough character to distance himself from that. Which is interesting to me as we often talk about minorities and a lot of the gang and street culture that they have trouble escaping. But never heard a billionaire talk about a specific culture that he can't escape.

The fact that its a culture of very wealthy people is even more alarming. How much influence do these raciest billionaires have in society?

This is exactly how the Supreme Court thinks. They struck down voting rights laws and the next day a bunch of states made it harder for black people to vote.

Wow. The audio just makes you queasy. You hear this guy's insecurities just pour out. He acts like he didn't know she was part black, literally says she's a white girl? Well it is LA… id he think she was just Italian or Armenian? Says she can **** minorities if she wants, but don't bring them to his games or put it on Instagram?!? You'd think the beef would have been over Magic being Laker blue, not black. Race and sex and power dynamics and now social media: it's like the 18th century and the 21st at the same time.

I feel bad for the Clippers players and staff. Now you have calls for them to do something about it when they are just trying to focus on the Warriors…
