Donald Sterling: "It Was Just One Mistake, I'm Not A Racist"

He blames girlfriend for the set up and insists Magic Johnson is not that 'Good'.

Racist escape-goat Donald Sterling has finally apologized for making senseless racial comments to his ex girlfriend V. Stivianio and other black people including legendary Magic Johnson over the phone last month. But he says his girlfriend set him up and it was just ‘a single mistake’.

The suspended L.A Clippers owner revealed to CNN's Anderson Cooper on Sunday at his Beverly Hills Mansion how sorry he is for saying all he said but he also did mention the fact that – to him - Magic Johnson is still of no-help to the minorities,

"I am wrong... I caused the problem. I don't know how to correct it." When asked by Cooper, "Did you apologizes to Magic Johnson?" Donald not answering yes or no goes to say, "He is a good person ...but has he done anything to help the minorities, no he hasn't..."

That sparked another controversy amidst the black communities who believe Magic Johnson is one of the most-kind-hearted persons they have. In a recent interview Johnson says, "Clippers won’t play a single game if Sterling is still the owner”.

Cooper further asked Donald if he felt his girlfriend set him up.  He said he doest know who released the recording but, "Well yes, I was baited.  I mean that's not the way I talk."Sterling also claims he's not a racist ... never been one.  He says he feels used by Stiviano:  "I don't know, an 80-year-old man is kind of foolish, and I'm kind of foolish.  I thought she liked me and really cared for me.  I guess being 51 years older than her, I was diluting myself."Sterling also said of the Clippers players, "They are clippers and they're mine and I'm theirs.  That's how I feel."We got to ask our Pulse.ng fans, what do you make of this Apology?
