Same race baiter who recently said whites shouldn’t be allowed to move into black neighborhoods.
WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — Director Spike Lee compares Donald Sterling to a slave master following the Los Angeles Clippers owner’s alleged racist comments.
“He’s got to go because he’s tainting all the other 29 partners, he’s tainting the league and he’s tainting America,” Lee told CNN Monday. “And when you hear something like that, that is a mentality of a slave master. He sees his players as slaves.”
Sterling has come under fire for audio recordings obtained by TMZ and Deadspin where he allegedly tells his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, that it bothers him that she associates herself with black people.
Lee said that during All-Star weekend in Los Angeles in 2011, Sterling told him that NBA players wouldn’t have jobs if they didn’t play basketball.
“We were at a restaurant and Donald Sterling called us over to his table … and he started to say, ‘Why are they going on strike? We should pay all the players $500,000. If they don’t play basketball, they won’t have a job,’” Lee recalled to CNN.
Lee said he also wishes white NBA players spoke out.
“Outside from Dirk Nowitzki, I really never heard from the white players,” Lee told CNN.
Spike Lee is the black version of Donald Sterling, only worse.
