Skills,
Dude.....PLEASE!!!! I'm not sure why you would take THIS time, and use THIS forum to talk about our inalienable rights and the U.S. constitution.....MY GOD...REALLY?!?!?
While I am ACUTELY aware & protective of the rights afforded each and every U.S. citizen, and your concern has SIGNIFICANT merit, the strongly held beliefs of Donald Sterling and those like him (and believe me, I am 1,000% CERTAIN there are MANY more people who think, act, etc exactly like Mr. Sterling) are so hateful, so derisive, so incendiary, that our IMMEDIATE focus cannot (& should not ) in ANY way, be on ANYTHING but the DEEP-SEEDED. ANTAGONISTIC, HATEFUL, and conspicuously REPREHENSIBLE beliefs/actions of one Donald Sterling. These beliefs are so evil that, if not addressed immediately, effectively and forcefully, they can easily and quickly tear apart the fabric of any civilized society. Moreover, any action taken in response to this matter, SHOULD (IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY) effectively address Sterling's bigoted, disgusting and pathetic views. Please don't misconstrue what I'm saying here.....I WHOLEHEARTEDLY believe in & support the constitutional rights you've referenced.....they should always be (of course) ULTRA-IMPORTANT and INDISPENSABLE rights to any civilized & progressive society....
Listen....at the end of the day, how this horrible situation is ultimately adjudicated is definitely of GREAT importance to all citizens (so, indeed, we're singing from the same sheet of music there). However, at this juncture I view this as (somewhat) "collateral damage." However, if we don't address what should be of PRIMARY concern to us at this juncture, we'll never really be equipped to effectively address your area(s) of concern.....
