A new recording of Donald Sterling has been released by a friend of the disgraced Clippers owner and he is heard declaring that he is not a racist.
'You think I’m a racist? You think I have anything in the world but love for everybody? You don’t think that! You know I’m not a racist!' Sterling is heard saying to his unidentified friend.
'I mean, how could you think I’m a racist knowing me all these years?
'How can you be in this business and be a racist? Do you think I tell the coach to get white players? Or to get the best player he can get?'
The tape was released to Radar Online and the friend signed an affidavit saying that Sterling is the other voice on the recording.
'I grew up in East L.A.... I was the president of the high school there. I mean, and I’m a Jew! And 50 per cent of the people there were black and 40 per cent were Hispanic,' Sterling says.
'So I mean, people must have a good feeling for me.'
It breaks my heart that Magic Johnson, a guy that I respect so much, wouldn’t stand up and say, "Well let’s get the facts. Let’s get him and talk to him." Nobody tried. Nobody!'
