The BIG SURPRISE: some bigots are rich guys!!

What annoys me most about the whole "Clippers owner is racist" story is that people act surprised!
I mean, is ANYONE wandering around out there honestly thinking that all the wealthy people, the 1%-ers who have 90% of the wealth in America (im NOT making that up, by the way-google it if you dont believe me), are NOT bigots, racists, and social darwinists?
OF COURSE THEY ARE!!
racist team owner
Among the other things that annoy me about this story are:
a) That it is taking up DAY AFTER DAY of news time, on every station-even NPR-not just celebrity news magazines & shows like E news.  This is time that would otherwise have been used to let people know about the hundreds of conflicts going on and the millions of people suffering and dying in innocence in places, THAT NOW, you will have never heard of!!

b) That NO ONE seems to be spending any time figuring out how, why, and who got this PRIVATE conversation, in a PRIVATE home, between PRIVATE individuals, spread all over the news. I mean-its a bit worrying that anything someone might say in the privacy of their own home might be on the news later that day. 
Think of all the things youve said when angry or drunk or young-that you didnt mean or would NOT want publicized!!

c) That TOTAL RETARDS are saying things like "go to the games and make sure you support the team because they need your help in this difficult time"..YEA, that statement isnt comprised completely of TOTAL BULLSHIT.  The "team" does NOT "need your support"--they need your MONEY, and they are a business, which STERLING OWNS, so every DOLLAR YOU SPEND IN "SUPPORT" OF THAT TEAM GOES TO HIM!! Or, at least, the part that is profit does.  

d) That ANYONE cares AT ALL is all part of the much, much, much more disturbing phenomenon of team identification.  The social mechanism that makes people like your neighbor say "We lost last night" when speaking about, say, the Dallas Cowboys..which he is not on, working for, related to a member of, ever met a single person who is on, or ever will meet a single person who is on.
I mean, isnt that a little bizarre?
