Do You Mean Sterling Ain’t Black? I Don’t Believe It

Overheard conversation in a South L.A. coffee shop at 11 last Friday morning:

“Hey, man, I would have sworn you were white,” says Donny Sterling to his seatmate.

“Dude,” replies a shocked Leon Jenkins. “You are fooling me, aren’t you?

“You been fooling me all these years? I would have bet my wife’s shoe collection that you were black.”

Where Did Crowd Come From?

[img]2568|right|Leon Jenkins||no_popup[/img]They attracted a horde of poorly dressed reporters at a busy downtown bus station this morning when Davan Maharaj, editor of the Los Angeles Titanic, and Mr. Jenkins, president of the Los Angeles chapter of the NAACP, luggage in hand, boarded a Greyhound for the Liberal Fakers and Shakers Convention that opens tomorrow in New Orleans.

Both men said were making the long journey to Confederate country the old-fashioned way as a sort of penance for their sins against colorless people,  occasionally against people of color and, in the case of the NAACP, against colored people.

Mr. Jenkins, a badge-sporting far-out liberal, argued that he should not be considered a racist just because his scrupulously self-scrutinizing organization has accepted tens of thousands of non-Confederate dollars from some hayseed white dude that for years he thought was a brother. So they gave him a Lifetime Achievement award after the semi-bro was convicted of racial discrimination. So they were going to give him a second Lifetime Achievement award until his half-black, half-Mexican, half-baked half-girlfriend messed up his already unruly life by probably illegally recording a conversation with him. Now where are the pusillanimous pillars of the American Civil Liberties Union? Those brave libs cowardly are cowering under a table with Ted Cooke, I will wager. 

Mr. Maharaj is a liberal who said his newspaper has gladly accepted Mr. Sterling’s hefty advertising dollars for decades. He said the brother sure gussies up like a black dude when he drops by First and Spring every month to pay his advertising bill.

Meanwhile, Doctor Rivers, the Clippers’ $7 million non-white coach, said he was consulting his 11 diversely-cultured baby mamas to see how they vote on giving back this year’s salary.

A spokesman for the highly intelligent Clippers’ players said the 12 of them voted 33-4 not to give back their salaries for this year or next because them there greenbacks are a neutral color. Their plantation owner did not say a darned word about hating green people. When Mr. Sterling starts paying them in black or white bucks, they will revote.
