How Donald Sterling tried to evict a blind, partially paralyzed tenant

In a 2003 housing discrimination lawsuit that should have prompted the NBA to ban both Sterling and his wife a decade ago, one of his own employees testified that the billionaire had one question upon learning that the apartment where the blind, partially paralyzed tenant resided was in desperate need of repairs.

“Is she one of those black people that stink?” Sterling is quoted as asking. “Just evict the bitch.”

Kandynce had kept paying the rent despite the apartment being flooded with ankle-deep water and lacking a working toilet, shower, or stove.

“Kandynce Jones was under threat of eviction by [Sterling] even though she had never missed a rent payment,” court papers say.

So deserving. Sometimes I think Republicans are right: billionaires are carefully chosen by God to wield incredible power and influence over the lesser beings of Earth; they should not be questioned as to question them is to question God's divine plan.
