Rappers Snoop Dogg and Meek Mill reacted harshly (and rightfully so) to Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s racist comments. TMZ obtained audio of Sterling’s phone conversation with his bi-racial girlfriend, V. Stiviano, pleading with her to stop broadcasting that she associates with “minorities” (aka Black people) on her Instagram account.
The owner’s comments are preposterous considering that he has several black players, including superstar b-ballers Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, on his L.A. Clippers team.
The NBA is launching a full investigation into the matter. Meanwhile, civil rights activist Jesse Jackson has called for the Clippers to boycott, while others have taken opinionated stances against Sterling as well.
Snoop posted a heated and profanity-laced response to Sterling on his Instagram page.
“A message to the motherf—a that own the Clippers,” he snarled. “You bitch-ass, redneck, white-bred, chicken s— muthaf—a: F— you, your momma and everything connected to you you racist piece of s—. F— you.”
Meek Mill was tact but straight-forward with his response. He tweeted:
Donald sterling is the definition of racism …. He could b your judge…. Your doctor…..you teacher etc… I bet nothing happens 2 him!

For Donald Sterling black folks can work on his court, sit on his d***, but can’t sit in his arena. Sounds familiar…

Part of me wishes the Clippers won't suit up for the rest of the season. A fella can dream tho. #DonaldSterling

Stiviano's mind is a classic case study in racism. But did this woman really just say "I wish I could change the color of my skin"

In a real twisted way Sterling's convo is also classic Pimp talk. Mixed in with slave master mentality.
