Donald Sterling Says He Made Racist Comments To Get Stiviano In Bed

CATHERINE THOMPSON – MAY 9, 2014, 1:41 PM EDT

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling reportedly claims he made his now-infamous racist comments to his personal assistant V. Stiviano because he was jealous that she was being courted by black men.

“The girl is black. I like her," Sterling said in an audio recording, which was obtained by Radar Online and published Friday. "I’m jealous that she’s with other black guys. I want her. So what the hell. Can I in private tell her, ‘I don’t want you to be with anybody?’ Am I a person? Do I have freedom of speech?”

The tape of Sterling explaining the context behind his remarks is the second recording of the Clippers owner that Radar has released in as many days. In audio released Thursday, Sterling pushed back against the idea of selling his team, even though he is banned for life from the NBA, and denied that he was a racist.

In the latest recording, Sterling also expressed surprise that Stiviano would tape their private conversation. "I'm trying to have sex with her. I'm trying to play with her," he says. "You know, if you're trying to have sex with a girl and you're talking to her privately, you don't think anybody's there. You may say anything in the world, what difference does it make?"

I remember one time I met this woman in a bar and she didn't want to have anything to do with me. Just as I was about to give up, I whispered in her ear, "Hitler didn't really kill all those Jews, you know."

She looked at me, smiled and said, "Let's go."

Now, I admit, it's kind of a sleazy tactic, but you'd be surprised how often it works.

I usually start with telling about how the black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way, because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs and he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trade … by this point she's practically ripping my clothes off in public.

(Referencing Jimmy the Greek for the satire-impaired.)

Hell, they revel in how little they know, and how fucking stupid they are.

But thanks for the laugh regardless.

that got him into trouble in the first place?

I thought he said something like "You can sleep with them; just don't have your picture taken with them or bring them to my games", IIRC.

Jealous, psychotic, racist lovers say "I don't want you to be with anybody black -- particularly since YOU'RE black!"

not classified as a white male. I say he is a racist but by some of the definitions on these boards he is only a bigot.

if he still hasn't scored after giving her over half a million dollars in fancy cars, he's probably open to trying just about anything.
