    I'm racist against people from Maryland.

    You have to understand, @Dick Whitman, that for @MisterCreosote the words "racist" and "racism" are, apparently, catch-all terms for anything of which he disapproves. It's a nice, economical approach, and one I'm going to adopt.

    Chilled red wine is racist.
    Racism is behind people ordering well-done steaks.
    Not washing your hands after going to the bathroom is racist.

    Man ... that makes thing so much easier.

    Have you been reading my posts? Clearly not. We agree here. I was attempting to be supportive when you were crying about people seeing you as a troll. And what do you do?...Be a troll!

    Yes, when it comes right down to it, the fact that Sato's Japanese, and won that race on Memorial Day, is the irony that Frei was pointing out. No fucking shit, or not. But never mind. Gotta go to work.

    Not reading what I post is also a nice, economical approach to completely missing my point.

    Totally not "ironic," either, but whatever.

    If black people hadn't been enslaved by white people, they wouldn't be angry at white people for enslaving them.

    You ended with an incredibly banal point. Sorry, it was funny.

    If Hunter Strickland hadn't hit Bryce Harper with a pitch, Harper would have had no reason to charge the mound.

    I can't believe I'm writing this but Dick's right.
    Tweet wasn't racist - as WT explains clearly 10 pages ago.
