Clippers to celebrate Black History Month. In the wrong month.


As the paper states on March 2nd, 2011 the Clippers will be celebrating Black History month. The Clippers will admit 1,000 underprivileged children free in honor of Black History Month. The Clippers have a great young team that looks promising but mistakes like this can alienate the fan base and hurt their chances at success. Their owner has been sued for prejudicial rental procedures in the numerous apartment buildings he owns. Honestly this entire situation looks awful, I'm not sure who is in charge of this effort but celebrating Black History Month in the wrong month and on top of it admitting "underprivileged" kids could be seen as racist. The idea of having a both set up where children will come up and claim they are underprivileged doesn't sound like a great idea, but none of this really does.
