Shoutout To Mariners Catcher Steve Clevenger For Taking Home The 'Racist Rant Of The Month' Award

Hey now! Sure there isn't anything you forgot there Stevie? I'm not questioning you since you seem to have a much better grasp on not-so-casual racism than myself, but let's go through the checklist just to be safe...

- Call a black person a "thug"? Check.
- Bring up black on black crime to distract from the actual conversation? Check.
- Condescendingly mention kneeling during the National Anthem? Check.
- 'Black Lives Matter' insult? Check.
- Blame it all on Barack Obama? Check.
- Compare African Americans to zoo animals? Check.

Hmm, it could probably use the word "ghetto" in there somewhere, but other than that I think you've got it all covered. Pretty unbelievable work if I do say so myself. Fitting all those prejudice points of reference into 280 characters? No simple task. This dude should run seminars on Facebook with the amount of psycho babble running rampant on there in the last couple of months. That's not to say that his opinion is worth a damn, but it is concise and that's more than can be said about most of the people that side with him. Yeah, he is obviously a simple-minded bigot, but at least he doesn't hide it. Nothing wrong with a little full disclosure. Especially when that full disclosure is "articulated" in a clear, succinct manner. He certainly didn't present any new arguments, but at this stage of the game can anyone really say that they do? It's all about repeating the same shit that the people you agree with on social media post, and NO ONE is better at it than this guy! I would imagine his employer feels the same way...
