Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is being taken to the woodshed for celebrating Black History Month during the team's home game tonight against Houston Rockets. February is Black History Month. You'll notice it's now March. But given Sterling's standing as a poster boy for racial intolerance and bigotry, I'm amazed he missed it by only two days. By all accounts, this meathead is about as racially progressive as Archie Bunker. 

This is a guy who paid $2.73 million in 2009 to settle a federal lawsuit that claimed he discriminated against blacks and Hispanics when renting apartments in L.A. He had settled a similar action six years earlier, and allegations of his racially demeaning remarks are legion. Plus, Sterling is an equal opportunity jerkwad whose record with women also stinks. He's been sued at least twice for sexual harassment; he allegedly solicited "hostesses" for private parties (one called working for him "dehumanizing); and he gave testimony in 2003 that he regularly paid a woman named Alexandra Castro $500 for sex, explaining, "If you are having sex with a woman you are paying for, you always call her honey because you can't remember her name." What a charmer. March, by the way, is Women's History Month. Sterling probably has a celebration planned for April.

In light of Donald Sterling’s recorded musings on matters of race, The Smoking Gun is revisiting a sworn deposition that the Los Angeles Clippers owner gave in 2003 in connection with a lawsuit he filed against a former mistress.

Sterling and his wife sued Alexandra Castro to recover property that the 80-year-old billionaire gave her during the course of their relationship. While the litigation was settled before trial, Sterling was deposed over three days by Castro’s counsel.

As first reported in these pages, Sterling initially denied under oath having an affair with Castro, but subsequently admitted to paying her for “sucking me all night long.” Sterling described Castro as a “total freak” and “piece of trash” whom he paid $500 per “trick.” Describing his relationship with Castro, Sterling testified, “It was purely sex for money, money for sex, sex for money, money for sex,” adding that the couple would have sex “all over my building, in my bathroom, upstairs, in the corner, in the elevator.”

A review of Sterling’s testimony offers further details of how, according to the wealthy businessman, he was victimized by a predatory, sex-crazed younger woman. Deposition highlights included:

* When asked about a trip he took to Paris and Rome with Castro, Sterling replied, “For sex. I travelled with her for sex.” Though he could not always perform due to “all of these nine pills a day,” Sterling noted, “But whenever we traveled anywhere on the trip, she kept a record. And she told me how much I owed her, and I paid her. I paid her for every time we ever fooled around.”

* Recalling that, “We went to Paris to have sex,” Sterling testified that Castro wanted to tryst in an airplane bathroom, but “I wasn’t physically able to.” Sterling and Castro were joined on that European trip by Castro’s mother, who flew to Italy on the businessman’s dime. After spending time with his mistress and her mom, Sterling testified that he met up with his wife for the remainder of his overseas vacation.
