if anything the donald sterling k. shows quite the opposite, that in private to his mistress he complains about african-americans at his game. most old guys in the 1950s thought like he did come in toward particularly private about the a were pretty vocal about it. my father my bio dad and my stepdad were not like donald sterling but they were not particularly quiet. that's how people thought and they don't think like that anymore. trayvon martin case, ferguson, these are tragedies but on the other hand, the police brutality and inner-city crime was much higher in the 1950s 1960s than it is today. max roeser is another great latest source for tracking optimistic trends about human civilization in things like this. has this nice data set on lynchings in the late 1800s, pretty much zeroes out by 1950 and remember when interracial marriage was a big controversy? well, i don't really. it was so long ago but people used to make arguments that blacks and whites should not be allowed to marry but if you look in 1959, 4% of am

well okay donald sterling i'm from l.a., you know, the owner of the clippers. and it was in the news about this every night, there was human cry about this and people like civil rights leaders today were calling for, you know a crisis intervention that americans are more racist than they've ever been or at least as racist as they were in the 1950s. but if anything, actually the donald sterling case shows quite the opposite, that, you know, here in private to his mistress he complains about, you know african-americans at his game. well, most old guys in the 1950s thought like he did and they weren't particularly private about it. they were pretty vocal about it. i mean my fathers, my bio dad and my step dad they weren't like donald sterling, but they weren't particularly quiet about it. it's sort of understood that's how people thought, and they don't think like that anymore. traw von martin case ferguson these are tragedies but on the other hand the police brutality and the inner city crime was much higher in the 1950s and '60s than it is today. max rosier is a

not like donald sterling but they were not quiet about their attitudes it was understood that is how they thought and they don't think like that anymore. these are tragedies put on the other hand, with police brutality it was much higher than it is today also to attract optimistic trends with civilization with the data set with the late 1800's his heroes out remember interracial marriage was a controversy? i don't because it was so long ago but they would say that blacks and whites should not be allowed to marry. in 1959 i know anybody to even discuss is it any more. although i am perplexed by the 87 percent figure that is 13% that said they would not approve of a marriage between a black-and-white? why not 100 percent? i don't know. i magazine publisher also don't really deal with his long to portray famous people and a nasty sarcastic way end as the real issue was about jesus days budapest's arrives atheist rule so this is the elephant in the room. all of my friends are wringing their hands. liberals are in favor of free speech sometimes they will conflict but to verify what we are

what about donald sterling trayvon martin ferguson? these are stories in the news. certainly the owner of the clippers and there was a human cry about this. he was in the news every night and people like civil rights leaders today were calling for crisis intervention that americans are more racist than they have been or at least as racist as they were in the 1950s but it's anything but donald sterling case shows quite the opposite. in private to his mistress he complains about africans americans. most guys in the 1950s thought like you did and they were particularly private about it. they were pretty vocal about it. my fathers my bio dad and my stepdad were not liked him sterling but it was understood that the people thought. they don't think like that anymore. the trayvon martin case of ferguson these are tragedies but on the other hand police brutality and inner-city crime was much higher in the 1950s and 1960s than it is today. max roser is another great source and tracking optimistic trends about human civilization and things like this. it has this nice dataset

when donald sterling bought his franchise, $20.5 million, it's different now.lored people this time that make it difficult for that transition to take place. it would be great, but it is very difficult to figure out how to make happen. >> from a business perspective, is there something wrong or functioning poorly in terms of how the nfl and these individual teams are operating as businesses? when we think about most publicly traded companies we think about them being answerable to the stock market and consumers. are sports just fitting into the normal business model or is there a failure here at that organizational level? >> i think even more so than shareholders. maybe not the legal connection or the impetus that's there when you have shareholders but fans. when you think about the donald sterling incident the biggest reason for movement was that sponsors were moving away. but fans too. fans pulling away and fans in numbers going away. nobody is watching. we don't want to provide the funding for this sport any longer. >> the headlines have been bad for the nfl
