The Los Angeles Clippers made their feelings about owner Donald Sterling known yesterday afternoon, taking the court for a playoff game against the Warriors with their warm-up jerseys inside-out.
It was the team's mini protest of the horribly racist comments Sterling uttered on a pair of audio recordings released by girlfriend V. Stiviano over the weekend.
The story extends beyond sports, however, with a number of celebrities chiming in and expressing their disdain for this bigoted billionaire.
From Presidents to rappers to reverends... here's a look at how some famous folks have reacted to Donald Sterling's comments:

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything. You just let them talk… We've made enormous strides, but you're going to continue to see this percolate up every so often.

It's a shame that Donald Sterling feels that way about African-Americans. He has a team full of amazing African-American basketball players that are working to bring a championship to Clippers fans. The Clippers also have a strong minority fan base.

Shaquille O'Neal: Everyone has their thoughts. When your opinions and thoughts become public knowledge, the question is, now what? Another question is: will his team shut down on him and take his remarks personally?...I think the league should take a long hard look on whether this guy should continue to be an owner or not.
