NAACP Speaks Out Against Donald Sterling

After Donald Sterlings racist rant caught on tape against blacks the NAACP WILL NOT honor Donald Sterling Lifetime Achievement Award!

Donald Sterling has single-handedly ruined the LA Clippers and everything that the NBA team stands for. In the past few years, the Clippers organization has become a HUGE part of Los Angeles, but with the news of racism caught on tape has tarnished the teams reputation.

Let’s be honest, Donald Sterling has been a known racist, baffon and loser for years. He has a history of racism with the Clippers, but this is the first time he’s been put on BLAST. The Clippers owner has thought for years that he was untouchable, but now that the world knows his dirty little secret that many already have witnessed, his career is an owner should be coming to an end. Magic wants him FORCED out of his position, but what is more disturbing is that the NAACP was going to honor this man, because he helped the community for the cameras and stabbed them in the back behind the scenes.

Should we thank V. Stiviano for allegedly EXPOSING Donald Sterling?

Get this, we are hearing that his gold digger girlfriend is behind the leak of audio to TMZ. If this is the case, V. Stiviano has proven to be one of the most underhanded gold digger of all time. Not only has she ruined Sterling, she has ruined the LA Clippers.

Now CelebNMusic247.com has learned that the NAACP is resending Donald Sterlings lifetime achievement award. In fact, the president of the California branch of the NAACP was stunned when she got an invitation recently from the Los Angeles unit of NCAAP to honor Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling with a lifetime achievement award.

Sterling already had been given a lifetime achievement award by the L.A. chapter in 2009 – the same year he agreed to pay a $2.765 million settlement in a case that alleged he discriminated against African Americans, Latinos and others at apartment buildings he owned in Los Angeles County.

In an interview Monday on ESPN radio with host Colin Cowherd, Alice Huffman said she was surprised Sterling was about to be honored again.

“I thought to myself, ‘A second lifetime award? That’s kind of unusual. He hasn’t died and come back to life. He already has one lifetime award. Why the second one?’ And then this story broke,” said Huffman, president of the California branch.

Huffman said it is not unusual for local chapters of the NAACP to receive donations from corporations and individuals and then hand out awards to those people.

Sterling in the past has publicly voiced support for the L.A. chapter of the NAACP and its president, Leon Jenkins. The website The Daily Caller reported Monday that Sterling’s charitable foundation has made numerous grants to the L.A. chapter in past years.

“The local branches of the NAACP can choose people they have a close relationship with, and if their executive committee agrees, they can give that person an award,” Huffman said.

“As I recall, the (L.A.) branch took a little heat for that award in 2009. The branch president pointed out that the litigation was going on and was not conclusive, and therefore he did not want to prejudge. They went ahead and gave him the award.”

Jenkins was not immediately available for comment. He planned a news conference later Monday.

The NAACP national office announced Sunday that Sterling would not receive an award at the L.A. event in May.

Other honorees include Al Sharpton and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, who are to receive awards as Person of the Year. Retired attorney Charles Patton is to receive a lifetime achievement award.

Among others also set to be honored: Shannon Brown, Federal Express executive; Javier Angulo, Wal-Mart executive; Leland Spencer, restaurant owner and Hester Watkins, retired educator.
