You don't need to quote a post if it is directly above.

And in the case of small comments, you can often omit most of the quote.

I've hidden the extraneous quote for you.

We always hear that gays can do what they want in the privacy of their own homes it's nobody's business, but this guy can't say black ( he did not use "N" word not that it should matter) and he is punished. P.C. is a disease that needs to be wiped out!!!!!

I already mentioned before his girlfriend is half black and half Mexican, how racist can he be?

Wow. First off he (was) an NBA owner, and told his girlfriend not to take pictures with black people, and not to bring them to his game. A tad different that just saying "black."

Second, gays are doing nothing offensive or hurtful to anyone in the privacy of their own home. It was not cool for Sterling to be secretly recorded, for sure, but he was, and he said some pretty terrible things that are offensive to a lot of people. When what you say or your opinions affect others' ability to make money, (NBA, facility, players) there are consequences for saying shitty things.

I am unfamiliar with the case.

However, when he stated the word in his own home, how did the world discover that he had used it?

Was it somehow recorded? (Edit: I read the above post and discovered this to be what happened. Therefore:) Then he should choose the company of his friends more carefully.

that's true but he said in his own home not openly. There are many many people that say mean things, everyone is stupid now and then.
If half the people I know were recorded they would be banned for everything

If half the people you knew were billionaires in the spotlight, you would advise them to be more careful what they say. I agree, he shouldn't have been recorded. But is your solution for everybody to ignore the comments once they are out there, and not react to some heavily racist commentary on his part?

Yes, and probably rightly so.

It is one of the banes of a highly technological society where real privacy seems nearly non-existent.
