Accordingly, the social media world blew up and celebrities began putting their bids in for the Clippers, sending Donald Sterling on vacations and more.

Tyrese pointed out the irony of Sterling appearing on African Americans’ social media accounts:
Donald Sterling! Congratulations you are now on more Black Social Media pages than your girlfriend! #YouShowedHer #OneNationUnderGod!
