We have a regular TV in the kitchen, and sometimes in the morning when I'm washing out the coffee mugs and pot I'll catch a few minutes of it. I didn't see that on there though, but I heard about it on the news.
Sterling is a jerk, IMO, I can't believe that some people still think like that and are so prejudice. And in this day and age, anyone who's in the spotlight at all has to know that there's a chance of them being recorded with video/audio. Reminds me of that other clown Bundy, who said that blacks were better off as slaves than they are now on welfare. The statement is ridiculous, offensive, and also insinuates that all blacks in America lay around doing nothing but getting welfare...and that is obviously not true at all.
These people really make me sick, and they're a bad reflection on the whites here in America. I would not even associate with jokers like that. In the end, I agree that Sterling, Cliven Bundy and all these other 'pieces of work' should not get any air time on the news or anywhere else.
But obviously, it sells, because that's what the people want to hear, some nice juicy gossip...instead of the real issues that are out there in the United States and around the world. What I don't like is the 'race-baiting' that's goes on in the news all the time. There is enough violence and discontent in the US, without blowing certain stories out of proportion and repetitive reports on them for weeks on end.
Most of those reports are "white" on black crime, which really is not that common, but you wouldn't think so to look at the news. And if anyone still refers to that cop wanna-be Zimmerman as white, then they should have their head examined.
Just like the 'hate' crimes against gays, the news made the murder of that Shepherd guy out to be our hatred for gays. Well, that whole thing was bogus, because he was involved in drugs and a drug deal, and what I heard later from an alternative news source, was his killer was gay/bisexual himself. So that blows that 'theory' out of the water.
The 'knockout' game was done mostly by blacks on white and Asian people...but the one instance where a white kid in Texas had enough and attacked a black man, it was all over the news. There was a recent case where a white man was driving down the street, not speeding or drunk, etc. A black kid ran out in front of him, and he hit the child. He did the responsible thing and got out of his vehicle to help and give his information to the authorities. Well, before anything could happen, he was jumped by a group of blacks and beaten to the point of being in the hospital ICU. I'm not sure what happened to him in the end, because they hardly mentioned this incident on the news. I do know the child was okay.
I'm against any violence like that, and people who do it are just ignorant and aggressive, they don't represent any race of normal law-abiding individuals. But the news media uses these things to pit us against each other, and sorry, I'm not that naïve or easily influenced by these talking-head puppets on the TV news. Too many examples of this kind of 'hate crime' exaggeration to mention.
