There’s nothing like a cup of racism to start the day.
Donald Sterling became a trending topic today not for changing his ways and making a perennial playoff contender. TMZ unveiled a phone conversationwith his half-Mexican, half-black girlfriend V. Stiviano. He said Stiviano could sleep with who she wants—even black men—but had just one minor wish: "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."
Not really something minor. It’s not news that Sterling is a racist, unlikable person—not just owner—but hearing it at this level is no doubt shocking. Twitter doesn’t usually agree on many topics, but this is one of the few occasions when it did.
We've heard responses fromStephen A. Smith, a NSFW one with Snoop Dogg, and another from Clippers player DeAndre Jordan, but they only represent a fraction of the public's response.

Is the NAACP still going to give Donald Sterling his lifetime Achievement award next month?
After listening to Donald Sterling's racist rant I have to go watch Django Unchained to lighten the mood.
2 all the Clipper Fans that are upset over Donald Sterling comments, if you don't want your playoff tickets no more, I'll take them.
Dude does buy shoes. RT @HPbasketball: RT @rick_bonnell:Michael Jordan declined comment through a team spokesman on Donald Sterling.
If it turns out every moment of Donald Sterling: The Race Tapes was faked, he'd still be a loathsome slumlord and world-historic disgrace.
Quick side note: Charlamagne Tha God wasn't really kidding about the NAACP tweet. Sterling really was slated to get an a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Los Angeles chapter. Irony doesn't even begin to describe...
