tribute to you mr.donald sterling

Location

you enslaved black players

treated them as if they were subservient  to where they made less money making you more richer

you got away way with this for too long and now the table turned

i always say what's done in the dark will come to light

that moment arrived

when audio tape was playing over and over like a broken record

saying how your girlfriend was associating with black people 

did you forget that your girlfriend was half black and half mexican?

she forgot too because she refer minorities as the blacks and the mexicans

the sad part is not onkly she looks like tattoo from fantasy island

she is a disgrace to minorities

 

the players spoke out not as rivals

but a community

players wore their t-shirts inside out

they wore their warm-ups inside out

threw it doen to mid-court with emphatic disgust

we all listen

it was understood loud and clear

players stood up to a cause beyond basketball

and justice prevail

not only you were ban for life

you owe 2.5 million dollars

and the heat is on to sell the team immediately

this is what you get for defining the meaning of a racist

let's be clear

don't let this be about black or white 

because minorities are racist amongst each other

it's more about humanity and equality as a nation

we can all learn and appreciate
