Perhaps the definitive word on Donald Sterling, the NBA, the infotainment media, and rich folks liquidating their assets.

Thanks to RG for this link, which seems tangentially connected with yesterday's posting about Thomas Pinketty.

Why I Don’t Care What Donald Sterling Says, by Plexico Gingrich (Ruthless Reviews)

Are you saying that being a slumlord who gets obscenely rich by fucking over all of his tenants, and who discriminates against minorities, is worse than saying something nasty about Magic Johnson?

We’ve come full circle. Systematic oppression, be it racist or classist, is no longer a concern. We’re totally distracted by matters of etiquette and stupid morality plays staged by the infotainment media. We don’t care about problems, we care about judging other people as being bad so we can pat ourselves on the back for not being in the KKK. Meanwhile, you could argue that anyone making money off the NBA, be they player, owner or media is a hypocrite to complain about drunk uncle racism.
