ESPN Analyst Chris Broussard -- Donald Sterling Has 'Antebellum Slave Master' Mentality

Donald Sterling would fit in perfectly if he had lived on a cotton plantation before the Civil War ... so says ESPN analyst Chris Broussard -- who compared the team owner to an "antebellum slave master."

Broussard unloaded on Sterling Saturday on Twitter comparing him to a slave owner ... and said he would love to see BOTH teams boycott tomorrow's game.

Broussard adds, "Donald Sterling has the mentality of an antebellum slave master: he makes $ off Blacks but doesn't see them as equals deserving of respect."

Still no word on any sort of player protest being organized ... but the shot clock is quickly winding down.
