Paul Kersey writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mulatto Colin Kaepernick is lionized <\/a> by the Main Stream Media for disrespecting the American flag, but the MSM, the plutocratic<\/a> owners of professional sports teams<\/a> and the parasitical multicultural grievance industry<\/a> have combined to destroy white catcher Steve Clevenger for speaking out against violent black riots<\/a>. What, you thought the U.S. was a free country?<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

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 \u201cpathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Mariners catcher appeared to suggest that those protesting against Scott\u2019s shooting should be locked up \u201clike animals.\u201d He also mocked athletes who have been protesting by kneeling during the national anthem at sports events.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlack people beating whites when a thug got shot holding a gun by a black officer haha s\u2013t cracks me up! Keep kneeling for the anthem!\u201d Clevenger tweeted on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBLM is pathetic once again! Obama is pathetic once again! Everyone involved should be locked behind bars like animals,\u201d another tweet from his account read.<\/p>\n

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto quickly responded to Clevenger\u2019s tweets, saying in a statement Thursday that the organization \u201cstrongly\u201d disagreed with the player\u2019s comments and that it was \u201cexamining all internal options\u201d regarding the player.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Seattle Mariners are very disappointed at the tweets posted on Steve Clevenger\u2019s account,\u201d Dipoto said in the statement<\/a>. \u201cWhile 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bottom line: Steve Clevenger exercised his 1st Amendment right\u2014but quickly discovered free speech only exists <\/a> if you are repeating already approved Talking Points. The national conversation about race <\/a> is really just a one-way monologue where whites are always the villains<\/a> and non-whites are victims.<\/p>\n

\"colin\"Consider: Time<\/em> Magazine put the national anthem-protesting NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick on the cover<\/a> of its September 22 issue, with a flattering profile of the mulatto millionaire<\/a> hailing him for starting a \u201cnecessary conversation\u201d<\/a> on the relationship between blacks and police. [All Across the Country, Athletes Are Fueling a Debate About How America Defines Patriotism,<\/a> <\/em>by Sean Gregory , Time, September 22, 2016]<\/p>\n

The white commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, has, on multiple occasions, praised Kaepernick and other black players for starting a \u201cwhite people are always wrong\u201d conversation (-monologue<\/a>) on race:<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u2026Goodell told a group of reporters the movement from \u201cprotests to progress\u201d is a positive sign.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I\u2019ve said before, I truly respect our players wanting to speak out and change the community,\u201d Goodell said. \u201cWe don\u2019t live in a perfect society. We want them to use that voice. And they\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n

But Goodell denied the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 request to wear a decal honoring the five white police officers gunned-down by a Black Lives Matter-inspired terrorists [NFL denies Cowboys\u2019 request to wear decal honoring fallen Dallas officers<\/em><\/a>, FoxNews,<\/em>August 12, 2016].<\/p>\n

And he enthusiastically championed Kaepernick\u2019s protest\u2013even though it has led to a sharp drop in the ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Major League baseball\u2019s Clevenger\u2019s treatment is worse even that what happened to John Rocker<\/a>. He was forced to undergo \u201cdiversity training\u201d (= brainwashing) after \"cuck\"the infamous Sports Illustrated<\/em>article quoting him back in 2000. \u201cChilling\u201d is the only word that can describe Clevenger\u2019s swift suspension [Mariners suspend Steve Clevenger after inflammatory tweets<\/em><\/a>, ESPN<\/em>, September 23, 2016]<\/p>\n

Note that ludicrous cuck Skip Bayless, a white sports pundit for Fox Sports 1, called for Clevenger\u2019s immediate release from the team. He also showily virtue-signaled by loudly proclaiming<\/a> he was \u201cashamed to share this man\u2019s [Clevenger] skin color\u201d:<\/p>\n
