Donald Sterling Slams Magic Johnson in 'Malicious' Attack
Jealousy, not racism, fueled Donald Sterling’s rants to assistant V.
Stiviano about black people, the banished Los Angeles Clippers owner
told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an interview that aired Monday.
During the exclusive interview, Sterling also criticized Magic Johnson,
blaming the basketball great for his delayed apology to the controversy,
and chastising Johnson for his 1991 HIV diagnosis.
“I think [Johnson] should be ashamed of himself,” Sterling told Cooper.
“I think he should go into the background. But what does he do for the
black people? He doesn't do anything.”
The interview was meant to be a mea culpa, marking Sterling’s first
lengthy statements since racist recordings emerged last month and earned
him a lifetime NBA ban. But when the subject turned to Johnson, who was
mentioned in the recordings, Sterling turned contentious.
"He's got AIDS," Sterling said. "What has he done, big Magic Johnson, what has he done?"
"He acts so holy. He made love to every girl in every city in America,
and he had AIDS, and when he had those AIDS, I went to my synagogue and I
prayed for him, I hope he could live and be well. I didn't criticize
him. I could have. Is he an example for children?"
Cooper corrected Sterling, explaining that Johnson was HIV-positive but did not have "full-blown AIDS."

Sterling briefly adjusted his language but not his tone.
"What kind of a guy goes to every city, has sex with every girl, then he
catches HIV. Is that someone we want to respect, and tell our kids
about?" Sterling said. "I think he should be ashamed of himself."
Sterling said Johnson told him to stay quiet after the scandal broke.
“Wait, be patient, I’ll help you. We’ll work it out,” Sterling said in
the interview.
Johnson – who’s credited for social outreach through the Magic Johnson
Foundation, as well as a chain of movie theaters in urban communities –
is scheduled to appear on “Anderson Cooper 360” today. As Sterling’s new
comments emerged, Johnson wrote on Twitter that he’d rather focus on
basketball.
“After this week, no more Sterling talk. Just the NBA Playoffs,” he wrote.

North Korea unleashes racist slurs against Obama

North Korea is
notorious for inflammatory, warlike rhetoric against its rivals South
Korea and the U.S. but had rarely used racial slurs in its verbal
attacks. Pyongyang's tone has grown angrier in recent weeks as it
threatens to conduct a fourth nuclear test.
In
a lengthy May 2 dispatch released only in Korean, Pyongyang's Korean
Central News Agency published comments from a factory worker who said
Obama has the "shape of a monkey" and made many other crude insults.
"It
would be better for him to live with other monkeys at a wild animal
park in Africa ... and licking bread crumbs thrown by onlookers," worker
Kang Hyok at Chollima Steel Complex was quoted as saying.

NBC has cancelled 'Dracula'
May 11, 2014
To no one's surprise, NBC announced yesterday May 10 that they have decided to cancel television's most recent vampire show, "Dracula" after one short season. The show starred Jonathan Rhys Meyer as the way to young looking Count Dracula. The show was met with high ratings the first few episodes jut fell quickly as the story began to really irritate true Dracula and vampire fans with weak and whiny Dracula who really only cared about one thing, the love of Mina.
Now any Dracula fan knows that Dracula was in love with Mina but he wasn't a whiny " I can't live without her" vampire. He was a strong aristocrat who brought fear to his enemies. This show really just made many vampire fans compare it to the other "romance" and "weak" driven stories about vampires.
It did show Mina as a strong female of her time, which was one of Stoker's goals with Mina. And even having her in medical school which was rare but not impossible during that time, she still didn't have the strength that Mina usually had.
But, the big question for vampire fans is whether or not vampires time on television is over? With the ending of both "Being Human" and soon to be "True Blood" is the day of the vampire over? Grant it " The Vampire Diaries" and "The Originals" have been renewed but their viewings each week have declined. Is it time for the vampire to retreat into the coffin for another decade or so?
