Two Donalds

You may remember Donald Sterling.  He was the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.  In 2014 he was taped without his knowledge making racial slurs against African Americans.  These were not public statements.  These were statements made during an argument with his girlfriend.  When the tape got out it was labeled “scandalous”.  Sterling was fined $2.5 million dollars and ejected from professional basketball forever.  Wow. 

Donald Trump can stand at a public podium, covered by all available news sources, and intentionally make racial slurs, make slurs against women, make slurs against the disabled, etc.  He is not fined.  He is not banished from politics.  He is selected as the Republican nominee for President of the United States.


Times change.  Do values?
