LJ's call for an all black league is no less racist than Sterling. Sterling should be forced to sell the Clippers. There is no room in a league primarily made up of black players for an owner like that. But an all black league would also be racist.

Actually its not racist at all by racism's definition.  Racism is believing your race superior to other races.  Sterling has demonstrated by restricting resources and past comments that he believes blacks are less than whites on all levels.  So I have to disagree with you my friend. There is also already an ALL WHITE league in Texas and the media is not in an uproar about that.  People need to understand that separatism and racism are not the same by definition.  America was founded on racism and built on that foundation and Sterling is a product of these same beliefs.  There are zero black/brown formed hate groups in this country while there are multiple white hate groups in this country and its due to Americas history.  You need to understand what RACISM means before you go around throwing it up because it sounds good for your arguement.

.....and how is Sterling racist when he dates and hires blacks? Some people need to grow some thick skin and realize everyone these days are equal. I love all races, but it's almost becoming stupid these days how big the double standard is getting.

Who's not equal? Speaking of strictly united states. I have several black friends that admit some are living in the past way too much. We grew up together, graduated together, and now I work with a few of the guys. Im confused as to where whites or anyone is the superior these days. Please tell me what im missing.

This league never got off the ground - it never happened. In 2010 when it was "announced" it got TONS of negative press, including attention from the NAACP. And if you're using it to support your position that an all black league isn't racist then you shouldn't post a link that quotes Barkley claiming that an all white league IS racist.
