An Old White Guy is married but has a much-younger mistress. He\u2019s rich enough to give her a condo and Bentley and fool enough to think he can order her around. He told her he doesn\u2019t mind her cheating on him: she can sleep with her other lovers, just don\u2019t embarrass him by posting pictures of those other lovers online or bringing them to LA Clippers basketball games because his Old-White-Guy buddies tease him about it. His wife found out and is suing the gold-digging mistress to get the stuff back. So the mistress secretly taped the old guy and released the tape to the gossip sites to gain advantage in the litigation. So far, sounds pretty normal for Hollywood, right?<\/p>\n
Oh, did I mention the mistress is Black? And the Old White Guy owns the basketball team?<\/p>\n
The media is ablaze with news that racism has been found in America. The league is investigating<\/a>. Al Sharpton will lead a rall<\/a>y. The players wore black armband<\/a>s while they lost the game. Even President Obama<\/a> \u2013 halfway around the world \u2013 felt the need to comment. Everyone is outraged that America is such a horribly racist place.<\/p>\n
Except . . . it\u2019s pretty weak beer. The guy is 80 years old, a relic from two generations ago. He was having a private conversation with his mistress, asking her not to cuckold him in public, which seems a reasonable request from a Sugar Daddy to a Gold-digger. He has owned the team for 20 years and has never been accused of racism before. In fact, the NAACP was all set to give him a Lifetime Achievement Award<\/a> in two weeks, which means he must have been doing all the right things in race relations up until this point. He\u2019s a private citizen, not a US Senator and Kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan<\/a>. Okay, yes, he has unfashionable opinions; but he\u2019s not exactly representative of mainstream America today.<\/p>\n
