"It's the founding ideals that the flag draped over my father's coiffin stand for."


Really? What in the hell was he talking about?!

Maybe the explanation derives from a flag that he heard was on the coffin of Frank Marshall Davis. Of course, that would have been a hammer and sickle, but still...

LOS ANGELES -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson says Donald Sterling, heard on an audiotape making racist statements to his girlfriend, should give up the Los Angeles Clippers as quickly as possible.

"I think he should resign and put the team on the market," Jackson told USA TODAY in an interview at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles on Tuesday, ahead of the NBA's news conference announcing Commissioner Adam Silver's decision on what to do about Sterling.

If Sterling does not sell, Jackson says, he should be stripped of ownership, not suspended.

Sterling has treated the team with a "slave master mentality," Jackson said, then making a reference to the recent Oscar-winning movie by adding it's no longer "12 years a slave. It's 12 years a Clipper."

But Jesse, maybe his remarks were taken out of context>
