LA NAACP President Announces Resignation After Plan to Honor Sterling

[Asclepias]

If they were fined every time they said ****** they'd all be broke. And I love basketball and I know a lot about it. But the NBA isn't really basketball. It's pro wrestling with a hoop and a ball.

I guess its a good thing because I have yet to hear one of them say it. You dont know anything about basketball. Thats pretty obvious from our earlier conversation. How did you not know NBA players got fined for their opinions?

First off, explain how you draw the conclusion about my knowledge (alleged lack thereof) of basketball.
As for players getting fined for incessantly for saying '******' (proof in itself that I have lots of basketball experience), if they are then the lack of publicity would be a second major scandal.

I draw that conclusion because you dont know shit about basketball.

I dont think you've ever even been around a black person. Black people dont say "******" you dumbfuck caveape.

What bothers me is there was no outrage at his 2009 lifetime achievement award from the NNACP. That award was given right before he had to pay 2.2 million in damages for discrimination. So it was known what he was accused of prior to the award being given.

Donald Sterling's donations to NAACP led to latest award


Jenkins seems like a scapegoat IMO. I don't think it fair for him.

None of this nonsense is fair.

 

[Katzndogz]

Why should he feel he needs to resign? He didn't say it. He had no clue Sterling thought that way. Racists usually don't brag about it. Then again, IS it racist what he said in private?

Slippery slope there.

Why it doesn't make that much sense is because Leon Jenkins is a crook and the lid was about to blow.






While Jenkins was a Detroit judge, he was indicted in 1988 on federal bribery, conspiracy, mail fraud and racketeering charges, according to records from the State Bar of California.

Authorities at the time alleged that Jenkins received gifts from those who appeared in his court and committed perjury, according to the records.

He was acquitted of criminal charges, but in 1994 the Michigan Supreme Court disbarred him, finding "overwhelming evidence" that Jenkins "sold his office and his public trust," according to the bar records.

Jenkins was practicing law in California in 1991, serving as an attorney to the family of Latasha Harlins, an African American girl who was fatally shot by a Korean grocery store owner in South L.A., according to Times reports at the time.

In 1995, the state bar began looking into the misconduct allegations from Michigan. He was disbarred in 2001. He tried to be reinstated in 2006 but was rejected, according to records. He made another attempt in 2012.

Earlier this month, the bar turned him down, questioning whether he had the "moral fitness to resume the practice of law," according to records. The bar stated that he had made misrepresentations on divorce papers and on his petition for reinstatement to the bar. Officials said he failed to disclose a $660,000 loan he owed former legal clients.

In his efforts to win back his law license, Jenkins said he was a rehabilitated man and a force for good in the community.

He said he's raised $2 million for the NAACP's 2011 national convention in Los Angeles. He also cited work with organizations that helped African Americans, including youth mentoring programs and voter outreach.

On the L.A. NAACP’s website, a biography for Jenkins notes he was “the youngest African American judge to serve in Michigan” but does not mention his legal troubles.

Jenkins did not return calls seeking comment Thursday.

Um, wow.

This is all about the LANAACP?


Sounds like a sleep disorder. Try CPAP.

First off, explain how you draw the conclusion about my knowledge (alleged lack thereof) of basketball.
As for players getting fined for incessantly for saying '******' (proof in itself that I have lots of basketball experience), if they are then the lack of publicity would be a second major scandal.

I draw that conclusion because you dont know shit about basketball.

I dont think you've ever even been around a black person. Black people dont say "******" you dumbfuck caveape.

You still haven't explained your reasoning behind your claim about my basketball knowledge.
And I've lived in a mostly black locale for thirty years so I've been around black/African-American/Negro/colored people for decades. Not a single day goes by that I don't hear a black/African-American/Negro/colored person say '******'.

I did explain it. You dont know shit about basketball. The more stupid stuff you say about it the more convinced I am of the fact you dont even know what a ball looks like.

You definitely don't live around Black people. I grew up in the hood and never heard the term until a white boy said it to me in basic.

So far you haven't made your case with any analysis. You must be a democrat. And if you never heard '******' until a white person said it to you then you've never even seen da 'hood.

There is no case. You just don't know shit about basketball. I know you've never been around any Black people because you talk like a wigger you saw on TV.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

One of the things that most puzzles me about all of this, we hear that Sterling was such an awful racist human being long before his notorious audio.
How is it then that OF ALL organizations, the NAACP was about to honor him with a humanitarian award ?
Makes no sense.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

How unfair. Thats not fair he is being judged with out due process.

He had all the due process he deserved.

 

[Vigilante]

QUICK, call the ......

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Except he never said a negro league. He said a league with all black owners.

Like that is supposed to be any less racist? Bigots deluxe.

Are you saying the NBA is racist?

What would happen if they applied affirmative action to hiring for the NBA? If it would change the league makeup significantly that would indicate that the NBA is, by your definition, racist.

They don't? Since when?

 

[Vigilante]

78% of the NBA is black! SOMEONE should get in contact with AG Holder's CIVIL RIGHT'S DIVISION and make a BIG BEEF about the INEQUALITY of this basketball association!

If a cow had nuts it would be a bull. What did that have to do with my question about the NBA being racist?

Everyone has an equal chance to play. Besides white boys had it first so there is no qualifying reason for AA for white boys. No one held them back for 400 years and cried about losing their head start in the blink of an eye.

Wow. That's such a compelling argument.
And I just heard several blacks say '******' about an hour ago.
