Donald Sterling Racist Donald Sterling Racist Audio Donald Sterling Racist Comments Obama on Donald Sterling Donald Sterling Racist Recording Donald Sterling Racist Audio TMZ Recording Donald Sterling Girlfriend NBA LA Clippers Barack Obama Donald Sterling President Obama Calls Alleged Racist Remarks By Clippers Owner 'Incredibly Offensive'The racism controversy embroiling Don Sterling, the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, has reached half way around the world to Malaysia, where President Obama is on a diplomatic mission to Asia Pacific nations.At a press conference with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak Sunday, Obama was asked about racist comments Sterling allegedly made about African-Americans.When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk. That's what happened here, the President said.Obama also said Sterling's alleged comments are an example of how the United States continues to wrestle with the legacy of race and slavery and segregation.That's still there, the vestiges of discrimination. We've made enormous strides, but you're going to continue to see this percolate up every so often, Obama said in Malaysia.Sterling, who has owned the basketball franchise for nearly three decades, is now under investigation by the NBA over the alleged comments.According to the website TMZ, Sterling made the alleged discriminatory remarks during a 10-minute argument he had with girlfriend V. Stiviano on April 9. TMZ posted a recording of the argument online Friday.If authentic, the remarks seem to reflect Sterling's embarrassment and frustration with Stiviano over her associating with African-Americans at Clippers games and for posting such pictures on her Instagram account.Clippers president Andy Roeser on Saturday questioned the recording and suggested a woman -- whom he doesn't mention by name -- was getting even with Sterling over a lawsuit.According to a report from CNN affiliate KCAL/KCBS last month, Rochelle Sterling, the wife of Donald Sterling, filed a lawsuit last month and is seeking damages and property.Reaction: 'Disturbing and offensive'Donald Sterling Racist
