“As the Clippers struggled through a playoff loss in Oakland, the pressure on team owner Donald Sterling mounted Sunday with the release of additional minutes of a racially charged recording and a flurry of denunciations from President Obama, NBA players, fans and even the NAACP that had sought to honor him.

“The comments about blacks that were attributed to Sterling show ‘the United States continues to wrestle with the legacy of race and slavery and discrimination,’ said Obama during a visit to Malaysia. ‘When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don’t really have to do anything, you just let them talk. That’s what happened here.’

“Two websites posted recordings over the weekend that they identify as a conversation between Sterling and a female friend. A person the websites identified as Sterling can be heard castigating the friend for associating with blacks — even though Sterling’s team and the league it plays in are 80% African American.”
