    When Joe the Plumber, white guy, in 2008 criticized President Obama, Laura Ingraham had him on her show and offered to help him if he decided to run for office. No 'stick to pipes.' So it's not employment she wants to preclude participation in democracy; it's skin color.

    See, those who say they don’t want politics in sports (i.e. @GOP) really mean they don’t want politics they don’t agree mixed with sports

    What racism read like in college football in 1923. Here Missouri reminds Iowa State not to bring their ‘colored’ player to its stadium. #NCAAF

    That white supremacist (alt-right) Milo Yiannopoulos other day said he looked forward to journalists getting gunned down. @realDonaldTrump calls us “enemies.” Today I turned in a death threat I got days ago to police. Then #capitalgazzette happens

    RIP #DeanSmith. Forget basketball. Remember he desegregated Chapel Hill, protested the Vietnam War, nuclear weapons and the death penalty

    Joe Gibbs apologized on @SiriusXMNASCAR for his winning team celebrating with Ryan Newman’s car flipped and Newman not extricated. Said they didn’t immediately realize it.
