Mulatto Colin Kaepernick is lionized by the Main Stream Media for disrespecting the American flag, but the MSM, the plutocratic owners of professional sports teams and the parasitical multicultural grievance industry have combined to destroy white catcher Steve Clevenger for speaking out against violent black riots. What, you thought the U.S. was a free country?
The Seattle Mariners has suspended catcher Steve Clevenger for the remainder of the Major League Baseball season over controversial tweets in which he called the Black Lives Matter movement and President Barack Obama “pathetic.”
Clevenger posted a series of comments on Twitter on Thursday, two days after Keith Lamont Scott, a 43-year-old black man, was fatally shot by police in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Mariners catcher appeared to suggest that those protesting against Scott’s shooting should be locked up “like animals.” He also mocked athletes who have been protesting by kneeling during the national anthem at sports events.
“Black people beating whites when a thug got shot holding a gun by a black officer haha s–t cracks me up! Keep kneeling for the anthem!” Clevenger tweeted on Thursday.
“BLM is pathetic once again! Obama is pathetic once again! Everyone involved should be locked behind bars like animals,” another tweet from his account read.
Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto quickly responded to Clevenger’s tweets, saying in a statement Thursday that the organization “strongly” disagreed with the player’s comments and that it was “examining all internal options” regarding the player.
“The Seattle Mariners are very disappointed at the tweets posted on Steve Clevenger’s account,” Dipoto said in the statement. “While he is certainly free to express himself, his tweets do not in any way represent the opinions of the Seattle Mariners. We strongly disagree with the language and tone of his comments. We are currently examining all internal options that are available to us as we determine appropriate next steps. We will have no further comment at this time.”

Bottom line: Steve Clevenger exercised his 1st Amendment right—but quickly discovered free speech only exists if you are repeating already approved Talking Points. The national conversation about race is really just a one-way monologue where whites are always the villains and non-whites are victims.
Consider: Time Magazine put the national anthem-protesting NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick on the cover of its September 22 issue, with a flattering profile of the mulatto millionaire hailing him for starting a “necessary conversation” on the relationship between blacks and police. [All Across the Country, Athletes Are Fueling a Debate About How America Defines Patriotism, by Sean Gregory , Time, September 22, 2016]
The white commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, has, on multiple occasions, praised Kaepernick and other black players for starting a “white people are always wrong” conversation (-monologue) on race:
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league will encourage players to use their voice to promote social change as the demonstrations during the national anthem started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick last month continue to spread to other teams.
…Goodell told a group of reporters the movement from “protests to progress” is a positive sign.
“As I’ve said before, I truly respect our players wanting to speak out and change the community,” Goodell said. “We don’t live in a perfect society. We want them to use that voice. And they’re moving from protests to progress and trying to make things happen in the communities. And I admire that about our players, on(being) willing to do that.

But Goodell denied the Dallas Cowboys’ request to wear a decal honoring the five white police officers gunned-down by a Black Lives Matter-inspired terrorists [NFL denies Cowboys’ request to wear decal honoring fallen Dallas officers, FoxNews,August 12, 2016].
And he enthusiastically championed Kaepernick’s protest–even though it has led to a sharp drop in the ratings.
In contrast, Major League baseball’s Clevenger’s treatment is worse even that what happened to John Rocker. He was forced to undergo “diversity training” (= brainwashing) after the infamous Sports Illustratedarticle quoting him back in 2000. “Chilling” is the only word that can describe Clevenger’s swift suspension [Mariners suspend Steve Clevenger after inflammatory tweets, ESPN, September 23, 2016]
Note that ludicrous cuck Skip Bayless, a white sports pundit for Fox Sports 1, called for Clevenger’s immediate release from the team. He also showily virtue-signaled by loudly proclaiming he was “ashamed to share this man’s [Clevenger] skin color”:

I am appalled that another white American — a professional athlete no less — is capable of typing these thoughts in a public forum, in two different tweets, and actually hitting “send.” You want to talk about showing your true colors in public?

Welcome to Occupied America. White professional athletes have to either shut up or run the risk of being suspended without pay, with white sportscasters calling for your banishment from the sport. Read more.
COMMENTS:
* These two incidents speak volumes about the racial double-standards that have taken root in America.
They also prove to us that a ‘hostile elite’ now dominates our culture and media.
Part of this immediate problem has to do with the outlook and identity of the owners of many professional sports franchises. Yet the problem far bigger than that.
Modern taboos against white racial identity are vast and deep. And decades in the making. Even the SCOTUS has played an enormous role in this unhealthy transformation.
White schools and neighborhoods must be integrated by law. But minority neighborhoods and ‘communities’ may remain proudly separate if they choose.
Where’s the ‘equal treatment under law’?
In this new progressive universe, some groups are definitely more equal than others. The media treatment of Kaepernik and Clevenger epitomize this bizarre and poisonous phenomena.
These double-standards are an assault on white citizens and white America.
Is saying this still legal? It may not be for long.
Meanwhile, elite media has gotten in the habit of instructing Americans how to think about race, about American history, human history and where our civilization is supposed to be going. And they have no interest in providing their adversaries ‘equal time’.
If the dominant force has its way, where white Americans are going is in a direction of less freedom and less influence in the civilization that they and their ancestors created.
Unlike certain ‘minorities’, white Americans are prohibited from coalescing along racial lines, to identify openly as a racial group with group interests, or to enjoy the same rights of free speech and freedom of association that victim groups enjoy.
Worse still, these injurious transformations are likely to accelerate under a Clinton presidency.
Fortunately, these media-driven incidents are becoming a rallying point for white Americans who are slowly waking up to reality.
White Americans are witnessing the fraud and failure of ‘non-racial, anti-discriminatory’ liberalism. Racism is merely kinship writ large. It’s everywhere. The racist antics of a coddled, millionaire football player only prove it.
Sadly, Y Pluribus Unum is dead. But don’t blame its demise on white America. They tried.
* Football isn’t handling this as badly as I thought. Goodell is being less of a cuck than I expected — his comments don’t give the protesters what they really wanted, but steer them toward more constructive outlets. The real issue is at the team level. Kaepernick’s team still employs him but they would have to pay him anyway, and he hasn’t seen the field. Maybe he’ll get cut after the season for football reasons. The right thing to do is not to attend games, at least of teams that behave badly.
And focus on other sports that seem to be catching this contagion.
How would San Diego baseball do if no white fans came to the stadium for the rest of this year, and season ticket sales tanked for next year?
NBA season is coming up and it will be interesting. Majority black teams, highest paid athletes who don’t have super long career expectancy like in baseball. Athletes have much nicer contracts than in football — guarantees, no-trade clauses, etc. BLM stuff is being discussed in the NBA training camps.
Some smart players see the issue. At the Olympics, Carmelo Anthony stepped away from the issue, and he used to be one of the leaders of the anti-white nonsense. But Stephen Curry is being very annoying about it. What will we see, and how will largely-white NBA game attendance be affected?
