Today, the Reverend Al Sharpton will be meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus as well as the President of the National Urban League Marc Morial; Interim President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Lorraine Miller; and President of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation (NCBCP) Melanie Campbell in order to demand the suspension of LA Clippers owner David Sterling if indeed the racist statements said about Blacks on the tape recording are true. Quote: Well, I think that clearly the National Basketball Association must suspend him, or must say that, Were going to remove any kind of imprimatur we have on this team if hes the owner. You cannot have someone own an NBA team in this country and have these kind of attitudes. You must remember, he settled multi-million dollar discrimination lawsuits in the past, so he has a background. So what we said in National Action Network is the NBA ought to move right away. Lets not play games. They say theyre going to investigate. Do you think Sterling should be suspended or fired? newsone/3007574/al-sharpton-donald-sterling/
