The Lynch Mob, Political CorrectnesS and Donald Sterling being banned for life by the NBA
The definition of the term Political Correctness is "marked by or adhering to a typically progressive orthodoxy on issues involving especially race, gender, sexual affinity, or ecology". So if you are a person who doesn't conform to their ideology, they will come after you. Their mindset is that either you are with them or they will be against you. I've witnessed over the years how people's lives have been destroyed simply, because they were not on the right side that progressives deemed acceptable. I'm not a fan of Donald Sterling. Do I believe he is a racist, yeah. Do I agree with the ruling that came down yesterday from the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to ban Donald Sterling for life? No, I don't. It's one thing if Donald Sterling had a history of initiating policies within the Clipper's organization to discriminate against blacks or other minorities, but that wasn't the case. This ruling from Adam Silver happened, because of a private conservation which happened in his own house which was illegal taped by his mistress without his permission. That is what is being left out by the "I'm offended by the Donald Sterling" Lynch Mob.
After the ruling was released against Sterling, he and his legal team didn't waste any time in planning on suing the NBA for $1.7 billion dollars. I actually hope he wins his lawsuit case on principal alone, and I think he should have sued the NBA for far more then $1.7 billion. I don't support Donald Sterling's character or him as an individual, however I don't support people being destroyed out of political correctness either.

How about when Don Imus made a joke about the Rutger's women's basketball team by referring them as "Nappy-headed hos"?
Because of what he said, he was forced to apologize, and kiss the butt of Al Sharpton. But that wasn't enough. Since Sharpton "accepted" Imus' apology, he along with Jesse Jackson, whom he and his followers picketed outside of the studio demanded that Imus be fired; and they were successful. The problem was, the basketball team did not want him fired.
As you mentioned in the previous post Tyrone, that the comedy clubs that you attended in Baltimore, where the opening act would be a black comedian and predicted that the acts would have a racial elements, would indeed make jokes about white people and get away with it. And since you said no white comedian would make a joke about blacks or other minorities, because they don't want to take the risk of being blacklisted and such. So far, the only non-black comedian I can think of that makes a lot of jokes against blacks and other minorities is Carlos Mencia; only he's Hispanic.

While the progressive left, namely Bill Maher, is out attacking Donald Sterling, here is page of Maher Wishes Death Upon L.A. Clipper guard Blake Griffin for his Christian beliefs. I heard of "killing two birds with one stone", but this has gone too far.

Political Correctness is about tolerance. ... Tolerance is the enemy of ignorance. ... And tolerance is what gets us prepared for the changes the future never fails to bring. Progress is a long game and a messy game. Sure, the PC movement goes a little to far at times, it's a little knee-jerky and whiny at times. But the movement has only been in full force a little more than 20 years.
If the end result is an intolerance for ignorance, we have truly progressed as a society.
Now go back to watching shitty Fox News, Tyrone. I can see you twitching from here.
Hey, while we're on the subject, since the politically correct mob have successfully had Donald Sterling banned for life for his racist, and insensitive comments, I'm surprise that they never condemned, fined or banned former Hornets and Knicks player Larry Johnson for his remarks about calling for an all-black basketball league. Tell me that remark itself is not racist.

You beat me to the punch onf Larry Johnson. You've noticed that progressive two faced hypocrisy struck again. It's really hard to take anything liberals say seriously, because they are so fake and shifty. What Larry Johnson said was racist without a doubt. There is no candy coating, because he is black and a progressive, his comments get ignored. Funny though, because his remarks were made in public yet he received no blow back at all compared to Sterling who made his comment in private. There is a double standard in regards to people who make racial remarks. If a white player would have said that he wished the NBA could have been all white like it was during the leagues early years, that players would have been thrown out of the NBA so fast his tennis shoes would have had to catch up to him.

Oh yeah, the same bill Maher who made a tasteless joke in saying that Obama should have been "a real black president" in acting like a street thug when dealing with the BP execs during the time of the Gulf Oil spill. Progressives claim the right has a war on women going on yet Bill is going around calling women twats and cunts. Liberals claim to be about compassion and tolerance, I didn't know that Bill wishing death upon another human being is apart of their practice of compassion. Bill Maher sure is a hateful man for being a progressive. All it takes if for a person to be a Christian and Mr Uber progressives springs into actions with his venom and hatred.

The Rutgers basketball thing was a teachable moment in how to spot pathetic people who passes themselves off as victims. I remember when Imus made his infamous comments. When he said it, I didn't think anything of it, but 24 hours later the Rutger ladies basketball team were all gathered to looking all sad and pitiful. The first thing I thought was are they for real? I knew for a fact that no way that any of the Rutger female basketball players even knew who in the hell Don Imus was before he made his Nappy Headed Hoe comment. They presented themselves as victims of being hurt by a person they never listened to nor even knew prior to his remarks going viral. Al Sharpton should apologize for his racism and racist remarks over the years especially against Jews. For progressives to hold this hood rat shyster up as some sort of paragon of virtue on the issue of civil rights is a colossal farce. Every where this hood rat goes, people should be yelling at him "Freddy Fashion Mart".
nooori trade said "Political Correctness is about tolerance. "
Funny, the progressive's concept of tolerance is showing intolerance towards others who don't embrace nor conform to their way of thinking. Sounds more like the borg collective assimilation process actually.
nooori trade "Tolerance is the enemy of ignorance"
The definition of ignorance is "The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed." So you and other liberals are taking it upon yourself to force the dumb, stupid masses to conform or else I take it? Nice, how Orwellian of you. Oh yeah 1984. "Ignorance is Strength", "War is Peace" and "Freedom is Slavery". Did I leave anything out?
nooori trade"And tolerance is what gets us prepared for the changes the future never fails to bring."
The future will never turn an illogical utopian pipe dream into reality, because that pipe dream isn't based logic so it will always only work in your dream world. Under Communism and Socialism, economic ans social equality still does not exist. The politically connected are rich and well off just never the common supporters, funny how that always seem to be the case. Still waiting for that Chicken in every pot?
nooori" Progress is a long game and a messy game. Sure, the PC movement goes a little to far at times, it's a little knee-jerky and whiny at times. But the movement has only been in full force a little more than 20 years.
And when you over reach is when people finally begin to notice what is really happening, and they begin to fight back. Nobody embraces something that is forced upon them, it's the natural gag reflex. If liberalism was so palettable, why do liberals have to lie to people in claiming what they truly support? When deception is used to push an agenda, that agenda 10 out 10 times usually is not good for the unsuspecting masses.
nooori "If the end result is an intolerance for ignorance, we have truly progressed as a society."
Who's ignorance though? Yours? Who gave the seal of approval that your thoughts and values are correct and others are not? You? People having different points of views, values, morals etc is the bedrock of what "diversity" is all about. Diversity is more then about people of different races, creeds and nationalities. The progressive mindset seems to be that everybody should think like them, but here's the problem with that inherently flawed way of thinking. We are all not monolithic group thinkers like lets say the people in North Korea. This is clearly a battle between the collectivist statists like you vs the individualist like myself.
nooori " Now go back to watching shitty Fox News, Tyrone. I can see you twitching from here"
Thanks bur no thanks, Fox has become too progressive for me as of late, but you are free to go back to watching MSNBC though. I have nothing to twitch about, wishful thinking is a poor substitution for reality.
Author-"That is what is being left out by the "I'm offended by the Donald Sterling" Lynch Mob.

You are one hundred percent correct. The race mongering progressive PC mob is just out to get THE WHITE MAN. I agree with most of what you wrote except your claim that Donald Sterling is a racist. I dont agree that he is. He did not say he hated blacks or use derogatory terms to describe any black person. On the tape he says that he likes Magic Johnson and that Johnson was a friend. Sterling is a REALIST. His friends and associates knows who his girlfriend is. He takes her to games and escorts him all over town. The way he see's it, is for her to be seen with blacks is an embarrassment to him. Thats not hate, that is an understanding of society. If blacks were not the menacing, moralless and lawless figures that they, are then you could question Mr. Sterlings intent.
He tells the truth and they take his property. This is an all out attack on White men! The progs have defrauded the voting system, stolen TWO election, installed a foreign born usurper racist into the highest office, and their attacking White people all over the country. The American people aren't going to take to much more of this.
>>>Funny, the progressive's concept of tolerance is showing intolerance towards others who don't embrace nor conform to their way of thinking. Sounds more like the borg collective assimilation process actually.<<<
Oh great. You know nothing about American history, or how American social culture is often shaped by sports (as we’re seeing with the Clippers/Sterling fiasco).
Instead you’re parroting crazy Allen West’s Star Trek analogy.
Under the stewardship of the late, great William F. Buckley, conservatism was plied mostly with common sense. Ignorance was the enemy. Bigotry was a newfound enemy. Now, the Republican Party can’t function without either.
It was Buckley who famously stated that people were free to speak their views but others were also free to ostracize them for holding those views. … You’re ignorant. And I’m free to ostracize you.
You do know who Buckley is, don’t you, Ty? Yes? Maybe? No? I need to ask this question because you’ve NEVER mentioned him in your blog. Ever. Not the day he died. Not in the weeks or months afterward. And certainly not while he was alive.
Buckley – a conservative hero to your hero, Reagan – would’ve run that Breitbart douchebag out of the Republican circle, like he did with the John Birch Society (the forbearers to today’s Tea Party).
Yet here you are, lighting candles for Breitbart and reveling in your ignorance with Star Trek analogies.
Buckley was an intellectual, a faithful Catholic, an elitist, a big-military anti-Communist, and a pragmatist. He would’ve advised McCain to nominate Lieberman for VP in 2008 – not the ignorant Palin (another one of your heroes). And he certainly wouldn’t EVER have used STAR TREK to push an argument.
You’re a Republican but you often say you’re not a Republican. You’re a dedicated Fox News watcher, but here you are saying you don’t watch Fox News. You say you’re a conservative, yet you idolize extreme far-right nitwits that one of the fathers of modern 20th Century conservatism would’ve driven out of town.
You’re without a clue. And you deserve all the criticism you get.
Wow Tyrone... You're attracting some real doozy's here lately.
Anon;"Bill Maher, is out attacking Donald Sterling, here is page of Maher Wishes Death Upon L.A. Clipper guard Blake Griffin for his Christian beliefs".
Whoa... Before following the link, I was all ready to read that Bill Maher had said something like, "Blake Griffin needs to die, or Griffin should duck bullets, or Griffin's neck need's to get caught in the basketball net." But, "Blake Griffin is 25, how do we cure him of Creationism", isn't hardly wishing death on anyone.
FOX News shows what it really is to wish death on someone. It's when you "plainly" say what you mean.
p allen "Wow Tyrone... You're attracting some real doozy's here lately."
I know what you mean allen. I have been attracting several ankle bitters since i posted those two Sterling videos.
p allen "FOX News shows what it really is to wish death on someone. It's when you "plainly" say what you mean".
I know what you mean allen. Like
Bill Maher wished death on Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Ciippers simply, because he doesn't like his religious views Why is an uber progressives like Bill Maher so hung up in his bigotry agaisnt Blake Griffin who's apparent only sin accord to Maher is that he's a Christian. Aren't progressives suppose to be tolerant of other others allen? That's why they claim they do, but this is clearly not an example is it? Let me ask you does Blake Griffin deserve this Bill Maher?
uploid some "Oh great. You know nothing about American history, or how American social culture is often shaped by sports (as we’re seeing with the Clippers/Sterling fiasco)."
I know nothing of history? I can easy say the same for you. If you want to have an exchange in regards to American Civil Rights History or American Political History, I'm all for it. As for the LA Clippers, what historic aspect has that team played in American history, just fill me in.
uploid some "Instead you’re parroting crazy Allen West’s Star Trek analogy."
This is a classic example on why you should aim then fire instead of doing it in reverse. I've been using the borg terminology going back to 2001 in the old Yahoo Political Chatroom 7. You been on this blog for a day yet you though you knew everything about me, and in the process you just embarrassed yourself and hung yourself out to twist in the wind. Matter of fact here's me 3 years ago using the borg term in one of my youtube videos
The lesson you should take away from this, do your research on me before you comment about me.
uploid some "Under the stewardship of the late, great William F. Buckley, conservatism was plied mostly with common sense. Ignorance was the enemy. Bigotry was a newfound enemy. Now, the Republican Party can’t function without either."
Ignorance is believing that one political party is the devil incarnated while the other party is as pure as sugar and spice and everything nice. Actually that's pretty gullible to be honest. The Democratic Party has it's fair share of racists in it as the GOP. The GOP just gets the press while the Democrat ones are ignored. When you get caught up in the R vs D kabuki theater thing, you kind of don't see what's really going on in front of you.

According to my voter's card, it says "unaffiliated". The definition of the word is
"not officially attached to or connected with an organization or group."
Do I support conservatives, yes. Do I support the GOP, no. The big misconception by progressives is, when they believe that the GOP is a conservative party which it is not. You say I idolize extreme right wing nit wits, can you name them. Furthermore, do you think it will be better if I idolize the extreme left wing nit wits instead?

Actually I talked about Buckley a lot during the early years of my blog,I doubt you have read this blog for along time more like 48 hours so you really do not know the content of what I've been writting about for the past 10 years, now do you? I've written several stories on how the GOP has moved away from the principals Buckley in order to become the Christie Tood Whitman progressive GOP. You do know how Chirstie Todd Whitman is right?Also, how exactly would you know I am a "dedicated fox watcher". You've already embarrased yourself in a short period of time making false assumptions about me. Unless you have a Nielson box hooked up to my Directv, you are merely making an assumption about me based off of your perception of what a typical conservative is and watches.
Nothing's scarier than one being told what or whom they are to like and what they are to dislike decided by El Presidente.
And I refuse to listen to someone's private conversations and use any information gleaned from same. Shades of Rahm's use circumstances to your advantage tactics.
>>> The big misconception by progressives is, when they believe that the GOP is a conservative party which it is not.<<<
That statement is completely ass-backwards and false. ... The Republican Party is a conservatives-only club.
The Tea Party is setting the GOP agenda. Before that, ultra-conservatives have been bullying the 'RINOs' for years.
aystpri HISTORY "That statement is completely ass-backwards and false. ... The Republican Party is a conservatives-only club."
Actually are wrong. Were you ever a Republican, because I was one, there is a reason why I am not now. I can speak from experience. If the GOP was a conservative only party, there would have never been a need for the Tea Party to have been created furthermore, the Tea Party is battling the moderate establishment wing of the GOOP which has control of the party. Look at the Presidential nominees over past 30 years and exclude Reagan. GeraldFord, Herbert Walker Bush, Bob Dole, George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney and now more then likely Jeb Bush or Chris Christie. Which ones were the conservatives in that list? What are you going to tell me next, that John Boehner and Mitch McConnell Eric Cantor are conservatives? Both parties are for bigger government, both parties want amnesty for illegal aliens, the Nevada GOP just recently dropped the support of traditional marriage and being pro life from it's platform. So with everything I said, I think I am on solid ground when I say the GOP is as it's always been a moderate controlled party. The facts are right there.
Tyrone, first, I watched your video in this post a minute ago. In my opinion it was a brilliant recap, the best one I have clicked on your blog.
Jabbar has written some insightful words (links below) which tie in your post, misguided moral outrage, and privacy concerns (4th Amendment), and if I may add, constitutional limits on how we use technology to navigate private from public. Some people are saying no there is “no private” anymore. And therein is one of the resulting problems when pea-brain people think they can ignore what God says is right and wrong. Hold on! It may get worse & worse in the USA.
NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar says whoever taped Donald Sterling’s comments should be ‘sent to prison’
Abdul-Jabbar, who fully supports NBA commish Adam Silver's lifetime ban of the Clippers owner, says we should be 'equally angered' by the release of private conversations.

Tyrone I am with you on being Independent. Principle, values and focus will get more done than just going with the “R” herd or the “D” herd. Take Benghazi, for instance. Don't know about you, but I ignore anything written on it. There may have been negligence, or even criminal negligence. However they had a Senate investigation, and produced no convicting evidence of high crimes or misdemeanors. The GOP just keeps after it, and in their cunning way are trying to reserve it to use against Hillary if she runs for president. Also, you can be sure that diplomats, and journalists died overseas during the W. Bush, and Clinton years, as well as earlier. The GOP should drop it and go on the economics, health, education, and safety. But too many republicans have like democrats become leaves blowing in the wind, instead of leaders.
'...private conservation which happened in his own house which was illegal taped by his mistress without his permission...' Yah some sanity on this issue, the story is a TMZ media driven headline with no legal recourse or understanding. I have no idea who Sterling is, nor care, in fact he like me can have an opinion in his home, even if it is noxious, that is a free society. If he takes it outside into the workplace then we have a big problem and social conflict. But I don't see that in this story, I see a vindictive woman who used the media for revenge.
