Tell Me It Ain't So!

Breaking news! Racism is alive and well in America and yes Don Lemon, it is 2014!

No religion has been successful in stamping it out with threats of hell fire and brimstone. No government on earth has been able to legislate a "kumbaya" moment in history. And barring Don Sterling (the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers) from the MBA for life and forcing him to sell the franchise will not rid America of the 'plantation mentality' or Rudyard Kipling's notion of 'the white man's burden'. However, the MBA's Adam Silver did succeed in driving overt racism underground, to seethe, moil and toil beneath a veil of political correctness and polite platitudes. A national conversation about racism is now impossible unless black people want to talk to themselves as they have been on CNN for the past few days.

Fortunately, I do not stand on ceremony, political correctness or some 'fuck wit's' hurt feelings. For the record, I love basketball. I played basketball in high school against some of the ugliest, hairy-legged, foul-mouthed and equally foul-smelling protestant chicks in the business. I outgrew basketball and brawling in parking lots at graduation...that crossroads in life where young adults have to consider how they will share their gifts with the world at large. But I digress.

Whatever Ms. Sibiano's role in Don Sterling's life, he is well rid of her. I suggest he buy a dog...a big dog. Any canine bitch, even a mongrel canine bitch would prove herself to be more loyal a companion than Ms. Sibiano who has more aliases than Heinz has beans. And really Don, at age 80 with your nut sac hanging down to your knees and a prostate as big as a football,...admit it, you have enough on your plate taking a long, satisfying leak. Sell the Clippers, pocket a billion bucks or so, teach your grandkids to drive, take up finger painting, scuba diving, buy an island and sort out the relationship with your estranged wife.
