I didn't watch that CNN interview, because I don't give credence to what he says with cameras on.
I just wanna know...from anybody who did watch it....did Anderson Cooper ask dude hard questions about his history of similar transgressions regarding racism?
Very interested in hearing what Magic Johnson has to say about it.
he tried but don would revert to other questions he asked earlier and expound on them. At one point when he asked again about the housing he stated that he been good to blacks he gave them the opportunity to be home owners etc... have a better life and provided them a better life, moreso then just the lip service magic gives....

magic responds and has his interview tonight on Anderson cooper... I have no doubt he will be very pr. and try all he can to be evasive and avoid speaking directly on the subject.
Sterling is mad delusional. That interview did nothing good for him. Very interested in hearing what Magic Johnson has to say about it.
He did do those things.after magic cheated on his wife, contracted hiv & endangered the well-being of his family - i can't listen to him wax poetic on morality
great ball player tho
I don't get what ppl knock on him is.... is it cause he was sleeping around...or is it that he has aids? I mean if ppl are to discredit him because he slept around then a good amount of leaders/philanthropist should be discredited then.
He did do those things.
But a great force for social change was borne of his promiscuity and subsequent HIV infection.
He could have lived his life as a merely a hall-of-fame basketball player, but now he's an advocate for AIDS awareness and successful businessman and overall outstanding role model for young black men.
You should not ignore his past, but weigh it accurately compared to the good that he has done over the last 3 decades.
The man changed. You should not discount that change.
Fact: You choose to harp on what you choose to harp on about the man's history, because you have an agenda.i didn't dismiss anything - it is you who does so
not to excuse, but when he got caught - you were much younger if around at all and it's barely part of the picture that has been painted for you & everyone else since - like a footnote at best
Fact: You choose to harp on what you choose to harp on about the man's history, because you have an agenda.
Fact: His history is well documented. (Hell, ESPN just did a 30-for-30 on his annoucement like a year ago)
Fact: The manner in which he contracted HIV does not detract from the strides he has made against the spread of HIV since.

racism is a moral issue in my opinion
magic talks about it
Much less the way Magic was drawn in to it, by Sterling directly mentioning him and his name. Magic didn't have a choice. Hell, he pulled him back in to it last night..
the problem with this is the way majorities express their frustrationsif I was Caucasian I might have a chip on my shoulder too if everyone else is usually pointing the finger at me or implying that I was at the core of something even in 2014
Lol... yo, that Herd clip they playing "Jews, Black, AIDS" had me in the car cryin...Man anybody listen to the herd this morning he pretty much hit the nail on the head with the 3 things pr ppl would never want you to say Jews, aids, black ppl lol sterling is a moron but he's stubborn in his old ways just like a lot of ppl from that generation
imagine if everyone viewed/thought like this.... you make a mistake and from then on any and all you say should be cast aside and your past mistakes/error of judgment should be the forefront.well you have everything figured out then
your agenda tho is to spin my words - take these ones at face value, don't add stuff to make easier to criticize
and oh - of course, there is espn 30-30 - solves everything everytime
fact: half your ish is opinion
i'ma write it again to clear away distraction:

Sterling coming wit Dat Ad Hominem Fallacy!! Oldest trick in the book
imagine if everyone viewed/thought like this.... you make a mistake and from then on any and all you say should be cast aside and your past mistakes/error of judgment should be the forefront.
If that's the case why should we listen to anything you have to say? Or listen to what anyone has to say? I challenge you to find a person who has never done wrong or made a mistake EVER in life.
Or are you saying oh it depends on what the mistake/error was and how it ranks in terms of your personal right/wrong morality rankings... aka cheating ranks such and such high, murder is such and such... stealing is such and such ranked.
Hell mlk cheated on his wife.... should his message/words hold no validity? Should we dismiss what he said and focus on his cheating? Should the whole equal rights etc... be ignored because he cheated on coretta?
I could possibly see your point if he was ACTIVELY cheating on his wife, and he was on some crusade speaking on having a faithful marriage etc.... But to say oh he cant speak on injustices and systematic white racism because 25+ yrs ago he cheated on his wife and got aids makes absolutely no sense. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
