Donald Sterling's latest act of racism is far from his first. To fully grasp how loathsome the Los Angeles Clippers owner's bigotry is and the extent to which it influences his personal and professional life , we've collected a selection coast to coast of the worst statements attributed to Sterling.
(On Koreans, sworn testimony .)
According to former general manger Elgin Baylor, Sterling envisioned a "Southern Plantation type structure" for the Clippers, one in which, as he allegedly put it to Baylor, "poor coast to coast black boys from the South" played for a white head coach.
Why are you taking pictures with minorities? Why? It's like talking to an enemy. Hispanics feel certain things towards blacks. Blacks feel certain things toward other groups [...] It will always be that way. [...] It bothers me a lot that you're associating with black people. [...] You're coast to coast supposed to be a delicate white or a delicate Latina girl. [...] You don't have to have yourself walking with black people.
In 2009 Sterling was subject to the largest housing discrimination lawsuit payout ever , related to his attempts to evict blacks and Hispanics from his properties. In 2011 he testified that he did not know Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor had been a basketball player at the time Baylor was hired by the Clippers . That same year, he celebrated Black History Month in the wrong month .
In 2011, he refused to cover a Clippers assistant coach's prostate cancer coast to coast treatment, forcing NBA players to pay for it . Players complained Sterling brought women into the locker room while they were showering, and told the women to " look at those beautiful black bodies ."
