By now you’ve probably heard about the racist rant released by TMZ that allegedly captures L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling berating gal pal V. Stiviano for posing with Magic Johnson and posting the photo to Instagram.
ICYMI: Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to GF — Don't Bring Black People to My Games … Including Magic Johnson http://t.co/8ljKcX1GDv
— TMZ (@TMZ) April 26, 2014
The audio reportedly catches Sterling telling Stiviano, who is part black, that she can sleep with black people, but she shouldn’t “broadcast” that she’s associating with them or bring them to any games. The NBA is conducting a “full investigation” to determine the authenticity of the recording.
Actor and comedian Kevin Hart says he’s probably spent over $100K supporting friends on the team. Now he’s prepared to boycott the Clippers and says he’ll “show this racist a-hole the power” of social media.
I've spent probably 100k over the past 2 years supporting my friends on that team and to find out that the owner is a flat out RACIST…

The reason why I am using the word "culture" is because of what he said in his conversation with his girlfriend on the phone!!!
