  Assuming the recorded voice is proved to be Sterling, this is the best thing that could have happened to Adam Silver. He hands down a lifetime suspension, everyone is happy, he looks strong and decisive. And is henceforth known as "Sterling Silver".

  Silver canned Sterling. That's precious.

  I ask whats the difference?         While at the park I was playing basketball.   During which time I was standing wide open at the top of the key as my teammate passed me the ball.  I drilled a 3pt basket.    Just after making the hoop a fellow teammate yelled out nice shot  WhiteBoy.

  I thought to myself.  On the next shot that my teammate makes Im going to say nice shot BlackBoy.      So I ask whats the difference.    I mean after the game in which we won.  All I heard was dam WhiteBoy has a set shot.  You have to cover the WhiteBoy Closer.

  Just explain to me how an African American can get away with saying WhiteBoy This WhiteBoy  That.     But the first time a White Person says anything even close to something Black its like world war 3 is gonna break out.    I for one quote the by laws of all americans.

  Freedom of Speech.

  Fine, I too fully support freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to say what they please. However, freedom of speech does NOT infer freedom from the consequences of that speech.

  If I scream "Fire Fire" in a crowded building and panic ensues, perhaps people get killed in a stampede. I have exercised my right to free speech, but I will pay the price of the results of that free speech when I'm incarcerated for manslaughter.

  Hearing the phrase "African American" cracks me up ... more than likely their ancestors have to go back to the 1600's to find a relative that came from Africa.  

  If I ever hear a color when referring to me, I politely ask them first to not define me by the color of my skin ... unless they are good with me recognizing theirs.  I let them know that defining one as a color is racist, period.  It works for me most times.

  I'm not sure, but I think the word 'Boy' at the end of the color Is offensive. 

  I always remember Mohammad Ali getting a bit upset when the word  'Boy' was used in a sentence that was directed at him.

  True Mantis.  I too remember that.   Ali would ask you who you calling Boy.    Get into the ring with me and I will show you Boy.     Racism is around every corner even now a days it consumes us.      Being White doesn't make me a better person.  Being Black doesn't make Blacks bad people.     And I for one am ready to see a woman President.      In todays world you don't go around expressing your feelings like the old days.   Feelings tend to get you into trouble.    So you have to do what I do.   Say it loud under your breath to yourself.   Wait until you get alone and scream it out loud.   Its much healthier .    :)     Donnie

  Feelings or descriptions...limey, CH!NK, SP!C, camel-jockey, Heb, G00K, jig-a-boo, mic, jungle bunny, K!KE, whop, spade, towell head, nig-dilly, gringo, whitey, po' white trash, slope, krau`t, butch, Miss Nancy, zipper-head, fruit....it never ends, and won't end. And why should it end? "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me"
