The sad part about this, is dude isn't the only one Lol..he just got caught/outted,

whether it's the NBA, NFL, IBM, Burger King, I just don't think he's the only one that feels that way about black ppl...that's why I'm upset that them dudes didn't take a stance on this,..cuz believe me it's more Sterlings that's out here and feel like he feels

With this undeniable,if not exactly "provable", quote in mind

If it was within your power and authority to sanction a NSA type program that could offer irrefutable evidence and proof that many of these high level,multi-millionaire and billionaire executives and owners with damn omnipotent power & influence over the African-American community, were indeed unapologetic racists and bigots behind close doors

Would you utilize this surveillance program to expose them for what they truly are??

    No I wouldn't, but it wouldn't be necessary anyway.

    They'll tell on themselves eventually.

    each and everyone of us including racists and bigots are entitled to our opinion, now if they act on that thought then that's where the lines are crossed. Yes, dude is a racist and history proves this, shouldn't be shocking. I put blame on his "chick/sidepiece/mistress" for recording it. His ? hand wasn't too strong.

    I'm pretty sure NSA and other organizations like them know it's racist operating in corporate positions of power. Being caught is what's bad for business not the ideas. Because it's so crazy for him to say he don't ? with blacks because that how society is, yet not one person in a position similar to his is stepping in and saying he's right. To the point tho. No I wouldn't because it doesn't solve anything.

    No, because if you gave someone that much power who could stop them from eventually secretly using it for other things and target other groups. The fact there would be such an entity, program or weapon capable of monitoring an individual so thoroughly would be a major step toward the police states that are fit for novels about dystopian societies.
    I can tolerate a high amount of paternalism for the greater good (more than most), but that is too much in my opinion.

    Not exactly true.

    Because technically Stealing DID NOT tell on himself.

    It was a private conservation that was given to a media outlet and then release to the public.

    We are NOW seeing the ramifications of that.

    Before it was always,"plausible" that he wasn't racist,just an absolute ? that "may" not like minorities.

    Again the question is if you had the power and authority to sanction a NSA type program that could offer irrefutable evidence and proof,

    catch and then out many other suspected high level executives and businessmen in bigoted & racist rant that have absolutely no room for "misinterpretation,

    that has power and influence over the Black community would you do it.

    Knowing they will catch the same level of deservedly Hell Sterling is catching now



    This would be your opportunity to really take a stand

    Yes.

    The US government has a lengthy history of "spying, wiretapping, recording, etc" in various Black communities to undermine their efforts of achieving progress, so the NSA admission isn't new.

    Regardless of how it was made known at the end of the day, he told on himself.

    Just like Paula Deen told on herself.

    All that is dark will find it's way to the light eventually.

    Sterling is an idiot and plenty others share his bigoted views, but at the end of the day it's just an ignorant mindset.

    Although many of these people can influence you being hired, and use their pull to have you blackballed and so forth it isn't a situation of life or death.

    I'd much rather see the NSA devote their time to terrorist and people who intend to inflict massive damage in this country such as physical harm or death.

    That adage is idealistic and not entirely true.
    Power can conceal darkness, institutionalization can make it as if it doesn't exist and perpetuating the status quo can zap the act of even pondering about darkness.

    Yah if they had that kind if power they ain't gonna be using it to expose racists. It would be used the most nefarious ways.

    Is the OP calling for thought police?
