If Donald Sterling Can Lose His Job for Racist Remarks Uttered in Private, Why Can’t You?

Banned for life by the NBA. His ugly remarks are proof, as I've said before, not that racism is alive and well in America, but rather that racism is on its last leg. The man has been publicly branded a pariah. The American people have made him an outcast. You think any of that would have happened if we really were a racist nation, as some would have us believe? So what lesson should we take of the public flogging of Donald Sterling, as deserved as it was? How about this:  If anyone – an accountant, a garbage man, an MSNBC host, a college professor, an attorney general, a president, a truck driver … anyone! … says something racist in the privacy of his or her home, and if it somehow becomes public information, that person should lose his or her job and his or her livelihood – because racist words cannot be tolerated in America, not in 2014. - See more at: http://www.bernardgoldberg.com/donald-sterling-can-lose-job-racist-remarks-uttered-private-cant/#sthash.nSkL225S.dpuf Available on the App Store.
