Donald Sterling’s wife: ‘I am not a racist’

Rochelle Sterling, the wife of Clippers owner Donald Sterling, has denied that she is a racist while refusing to confirm or deny whether her husband made racist remarks heard on an audio tape that was released Friday.

Although NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that Donald Sterling had agreed not to attend the game after the controversial audio tape became public, Rochelle Sterling sat courtside at the Oracle Arena for Game 4 between the Clippers and Warriors on Sunday.

“I do not condone those statements that you heard,” Sterling’s statement read. “I do not believe in them. I am not a racist. I never have been, I never will be. The team is the most important thing to my family...

“I don’t know (if it was Donald Sterling's voice)... I haven’t listened to the entire thing. I do believe there were some parts that were cut out. I will let the experts handle that. The one thing I want everyone to know: I am not a racist and I do not condone what I heard on that tape.”

You are not a racist, but you've been married to one for fifty years. Though your husband has disgraced you yet again, you're representing him by taking his seat at the games. You're suing your husband's mistress, but you're not suing him for divorce. You want the tape to be authenticated, but you aren't even willing go on record as not believing that your husband would say such things. What's your master plan -- to have him declared incompetent and take over his empire yourself? If so, you're not qualified to call anyone a gold digger!
