Last weekend you might have wondered, "why, pray tell, had the L.A. NAACP recognized 'humanitarian' Clippers owner Donald Sterling even as he was being sued for racial discrimination against people of color?"
Yesterday, Buzzfeed gave us the answer, in the form of HOLY SHIT THIS GRIFTY LOCAL NAACP PRESIDENT.
L.A. NAACP president-now-resigned Leon Jenkins's first explanation for why Donald Sterling, Bad Human, was getting humanitarian awards from the NAACP, was that Sterling gives thousands of tickets to Clippers games to city kids. This left many Angelenos scratching their noggins, as "giving away something, ie Clippers tickets, that you couldn't sell anyway for love or money" is not usually "humanitarian" so much as "eh, fuck it." It is like donating penicillin baguettes to a food bank. That's a guy Sarah Palin could learn a trick from.
Well, now, following the teeny-tiniest of revelations, L.A. NAACP president-now-resigned Leon Jenkins is dead, fallen on his samurai sword or hari kiri dagger or what have you, and good the fuck riddance.
If only that chapter had some other people responsible for oversight, to whom Jenkins would've been accountable. Maybe some kind of board...
Sterling's contributions moved him...to a higher tax bracket. And isn't all that really matters, ladies and gentlement?
