Donald Sterling Racist Comments

This is like that Ronald McDonald commercial for Taco Bell ... if Ronald McDonald hated black people.

TMZ has tracked down Donald Sterling ... not the racist Los Angeles Clippers owner ... but a 29-year-old guy who runs a production company in Forest Hills, Texas. He's a Miami Heat fan, so there's no conflict of interest there.

Donald tells TMZ ... he's been going by DJ lately, because so many people have been giving him a hard time. He says most of the teasing has come from friends and family, but he's being super careful about using his full name in public.

DJ (we got your back, man) tells TMZ he thinks Sterling's views are unacceptable and pitiful in this day and age ... and Sterling should be forced to change his name so DJ can have his good name back.

This would be fun ... V. Stiviano should take a pic with DJ and post it on her Instagram.

V. Stiviano can now loosely take Donald Sterling up on his offer ... allowing her to have sex with black guys.

Vivid Entertainment honcho Steve Hirsch has sent V. a letter ... offering her a starring role in a sex tape with, as he put it, "the most well-endowed black men in the porn industry" -- which as you know is really saying something.

But Hirsch understands one thing for sure -- 15 minutes of fame. He's given V. 24 hours to make her decision.

We're sure she gets the drill.

Donald Sterling's almost-lifetime achievement award from the NAACP just forced the president of the group's L.A. chapter to quit -- and TMZ Sports has learned he basically got outta Dodge before he was kicked out.

Donald Sterling has NO shame over his racist rant ... he hit the town Wednesday night at a high-profile, celebrity-packed Beverly Hills restaurant.

Sterling didn't want to talk to our photog about the Clipper fallout and his lifetime ban ... but he seemed more than happy to mingle inside The Grill -- one of the most popular entertainment industry hangouts in all of Hollywood.

Here's what's breathtaking ... Hollywood is liberal. Liberals are indignant over what Sterling said. And, the tables are all close together, so smack talk can be easily heard. Yet there was Sterling, right in the thick of things.

When you're Donald Sterling's sugar baby, you can have your cake and eat it too -- V. Stiviano celebrated her birthday last October with a giant cake that said "HAPPY 21st!" ... even though she was actually turning 31 ... and TMZ has the photos.

The party took place at a restaurant inside the Staples Center -- and you can tell from the pics, these were happier times for Sterling ... possibly happier because he thought he was dating a woman 10 years younger than she actually was.

The cake says 21, but we know from court docs ... Stiviano's actually 31.

Sources close to V. Stiviano tell us, she has notoriously lied about her age for years -- so it's not a stretch to think Sterling believed his sidepiece was barely legal.

Not like Sterling would be able to tell the difference anyway.

The L.A. Clippers aren't for sale -- yet -- but Donald Sterling's already getting offers, including a serious proposal from a group of investors who claim they're SECOND best ... behind Magic.

TMZ obtained a letter from a Florida law firm claiming to represent a consortium of foreign investors -- including several African-Americans -- who are prepared to offer a "substantial" sum for the team.

BUT ... the proposal is contingent ... first and foremost, the investors say they will NOT negotiate if Magic becomes a serious bidder ... that's because they hold him in such high esteem.

The letter -- written by attorney Bradford M. Cohen -- says, "We will not engage in a bidding war with Mr. Johnson out of respect for his character and his ability to wipe the tarnish off of the LA Clippers from your most recent comments."

The group's other stipulations --

1) A lifetime ban on Sterling from ALL Clippers games (which is already done, done and done).

2) A waiver from all lawsuits stemming from Sterling's conduct, "including alleged statements such as, you wanting to fill your team with 'poor black boys from the South and a white head coach.'"

Donald Sterling's ex side piece is dancing so hard on his NBA grave ... she now thinks she's going to be President. Like, of this country.

Paparazzi spotted V. Stiviano wearing her customary ridiculous visor outside an L.A. restaurant last night and she proclaimed, "One day I will become President of the United States of America." She then muttered something about laws ... but luckily traffic noise drowns out her voice.

V. brought back up -- a few Black friends who have HER NAME (Stiviano, not Shameless Self Promoter) written on their hats.

Donald Sterling is getting SCREWED by the NBA ... so says African-American radio host Larry Elder who actually blames Magic Johnson for blowing the whole thing out of proportion.

Elder appeared on Fox 11 in L.A. yesterday and DEFENDED the disgraced Clippers owner during a heated exchange ... saying Sterling would still own the team if Magic would've kept his cool after the audio was released.

"Magic Johnson could have taken this thing to a nice high level ... and he could've said, 'I don't care what Donald Sterling says,'" Elder said.

Elder went on defend Sterling's statements .... "The worst thing [Sterling] said was 'Don't bring your black friends to the games.' The black friends can go, just don't have em sit next to you. If Magic wants to go, just don't have him sit next to you ... for that, he loses his team?"

Clippers with Attitudes??

Dr. Dre tells TMZ Sports ... he's "absolutely" interested in buying the L.A. Clippers when the NBA forces Donald Sterling to sell the team ... and he seems very serious about it.

Former Major League Baseball superstar Kenny Lofton made a statement of his own last night ... hitting up the Clippers game in L.A. in a shirt that read, "Black and Proud."

The shirt was a HIT with the fans -- including Holly Robinson Peete -- who praised Lofton for his gear.

We also asked Kenny the question lots of charities are asking themselves right now --- if Donald Sterling offered to make a donation to his organization, would he accept the money.

Donald Sterling's wife has apparently flip-flopped again ... hitting up the Clippers game by herself last night after the league BANNED her estranged husband FOR LIFE.

Shelly Sterling was escorted in and out of the Staples Center in L.A. -- by an official (who happened to be black btw) ... and cheered on the team Donald Sterling has been banned from associating with.

It's almost like she's thumbing her nose at Donald by going to the game, since he's not allowed anywhere near the arena.

It's an odd move by Shelly ... considering earlier in the week, she went to dinner with Donald and seemed to have his back -- screaming that he was NOT racist.

But days before that, she blasted him in the media ... claiming Donald's racist comments humiliated the family.

So, the question ... does Shelly have Donald's back or not??

It's too damn late for Donald Sterling to change his racist ways ... so says Lakers superstar Nick Young who tells TMZ Sports, it doesn't matter because he's gonna die soon anyway.

Young was out in L.A. yesterday when he told us, "The man is 90 years old. He's stuck in his ways. He ain't movin, he ain't changing. That's Django ... Django unchained."

He added, "He only got a few years left. He can go out as a villain."

Here's the moral dilemma ... you're a charity and a really bad guy -- aka Donald Sterling --- has given you a TON of money ... Do you now give it back?

We canvassed some of the recipients of Sterling's generosity ... and some feel it's dirty money ... while others say a buck's a buck.

-- A Place Called Home -- a program for high-risk teens -- got a $100,000 donation from Sterling, doled out in $10K yearly installments. The charity has received $30K, which it will NOT return, but it is REJECTING the $70K balance.

-- Temple of the Arts -- It's keeping Sterling's $10K donation.

-- L.A. Union Rescue Mission -- It's been receiving $10K a year. They're keeping the cash, telling TMZ, "We take money from all kinds of bad people all the time."

-- Goodwill of So. Cal. -- It got a $100,000 donation from Sterling, doled out over 10 years. It has received $20K so far and it's giving all the money back and not accepting the balance.

-- American Diabetes Ass'n -- Sterling donated $25K. It's keeping the loot, telling us, "The sad reality is that without donations like Mr. Sterling's, we can't help the people that we do."

As we previously reported ... Sterling pledged $3 MIL to UCLA for kidney research with $425K up front. The school is returning the $425K and refusing to accept the rest.

Donald Sterling should change his name ... get on a plane ... and LEAVE the United States for good -- at least, that's the advice he's getting from "Dirty Jobs" star Mike Rowe.

He may have been joking ... or not ... but Mike raises a good question -- what does Donald Sterling do now??

As Rowe points out, he does have the resources and the money to live out the rest of his days in another country where no one knows who he is ... but then again, he's old and stubborn.

Does he stay in L.A. and try to rebuild his image? Or self-imposed exile?

UCLA is saying thanks but no thanks to Donald Sterling's $3 million pledge ... saying essentially its dirty money and they don't want it.

Sterling gifted $3 mil to the school, with an initial check for $425,000. The money was earmarked for kidney research.

And get this. The ad (above) that was placed in Sunday's L.A. Times is a "thank you" from UCLA to Donald and Shelly Sterling. UCLA claims the ad was placed by Donald Sterling, NOT the university.

A defiant Donald Sterling just said he would NOT sell the Los Angeles Clippers.

Sterling told Fox News' Jim Gray the team was NOT for sale. Gray said on Fox News he spoke with Sterling just before NBA Commish Adam Silver banned Sterling for life.

Silver said in his news conference ... if 3/4 of the NBA owners get on board they can force Sterling to sell the team. If that happens it looks like Sterling may well go to legal war.

It sounds like it may come to that.
