Sterling said the picture of Stiviano and Johnson was embarrassing him in front of his friends. He insisted that she was supposed to be seen as a “delicate” Latina or White woman and that he preferred not to think about her Blackness. He then told Stiviano that he does not want her to publicly acknowledge Black people.

Donald Sterling’s Racist Rant

Magic Johnson called Sterling’s remarks a “shame.”

“It’s a shame that Donald Sterling feels that way about African-Americans,” Johnson told TMZ.

“He has a team full of amazing African-American basketball players that are working to bring a championship to Clippers fans. The Clippers also have a strong minority fan base.”

Johnson also tweeted the following:

NBA executive vice president of communication Mike Bass said the league is conducting a “full investigation.”

“The remarks heard on the recording are disturbing and offensive, but at this time we have no further information,” said Bass.

Sterling has a documented history of allegedly racist behavior — he’s been sued twice by the federal government for allegedly refusing to rent apartments to Blacks and Latinos.
