Dave Chappelle is DEFENDING Donald Sterling ... claiming the disgraced former L.A. Clippers owner got screwed when his team was ripped away from him.

Chappelle opened up about the topic in an interview with GQ -- saying, "Ultimately, I don’t think he should have lost his team."

"I don’t like the idea that someone could record a secret conversation and that a person could lose their assets from that, even though I think what he said was awful."

Of course, Sterling was banned from the NBA for life -- and Commissioner Adam Silver said he did everything in his power to force a sale of the team in the wake of Sterling's racist comments.

Sterling fought the sale ... but eventually, a judge allowed Donald's wife Shelly to unload the team to Steve Ballmer for $2 BILLION dollars.

Chappelle's opinion lines up with Bill Maher -- who also defended Sterling's right to free speech back in May .. and took serious heat over it.

The big question ... why would someone as influential as Chappelle wait so long to go public with such a strong point of view? Kinda too little, too late.

Tune in next summer when he chimes in on Ray Rice ...

[Fart Knocker]

Why is Chappelle capping for Jewish slave masters......

This nikka lost, someone save him....

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

I agree.

"I don’t like the idea that someone could record a secret conversation and that a person could lose their assets from that, even though I think what he said was awful."

That's mos def a slippery slope.

 

[Real]

Oh lord......this is the part where folks on this board will start labeling Dave Chapelle of all people a "c00n"

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Faux militants, your take?

 

[beanz]

its a controversial stance but i see what he means. i think sterling should have lost the team but the whole free speech thing and recorded private convos is touchy. imagine a black man who makes it to being CEO of a fortune 500 company getting recorded on the weekend telling his boys he works for a bunch of "cracker ass crackers".

or better yet imagine jordan losing the bobcats because they find out he has a coli account and he trashes gays all the time

Pretty much why I avoided posting certain information. Between the obvious misogynists and faux militants, last thing I need is a campaign run against me based on what other people say.
Sterling is a special case, as he already won in life. He don't have long on this earth and he will die having done much more than most people. He can't lose now.

 

[Will Ross]

Dude was always a c00n don't know why people thought otherwise. It's a reason why whites loved his show so much.

 

[Nemesis]

anyone with half a brain will realise hes defending the right to freedom of speech rather than defending Donald Sterling.......

fukk Donald Sterling but I shouldnt lose my livelihood because of something I said in a private conversation
