Apparently before his comments got leaked all over the internet, the NAACP was about to give Sterling its lifetime achievement award. Uh... what?

Money talks.

He already received one award after donating another large sum, presumably to cover up for rumors of rampant racism (and lawsuits) twenty years ago. Non-profits often award unsavory-but-wealthy individuals with awards with the hope of receiving even more money. It's not about merit. It's about being someone who can afford to keep a non-profit in business.
