RACISM! Tennis balls are WHITE! Let's make them BLACK!

In one of the stupidest decisions of all time, a white tennis player was DISQUALIFIED for saying something INTERPRETED as "racist."

The white guy's opponent is black. The line judge is black. The line judge makes a shitty call, and the white player says, "You're friends. I'm sure of it."

So that's "racism," and the guy's tossed out.

Really? It's "racist" to suggest that a judge and a player might be friends? Isn't this "racism" really in the eye of the too politically correct and paranoid beholder? How would this hold up in a court of law?

What if a black player, playing a white, got angry at a white judge and said, "You're friends. I'm sure of it."

NOTHING would happen.

In fact Mr. Nigga would strut all over the court, swinging his neck from side to side, rolling his eyes, doing the Chuck Berry duck walk, and refusing to continue the match for half an hour, and he STILL wouldn't get a penalty.

As Bucky O'Bama would tell you, you're supposed to rise above suspicions of racism. You ignore it. You show equality by NOT playing the race card. If you wouldn't toss the black player for such a remark, don't toss the white one.

This Russian kid was losing anyway, so he wasn't making a fuss, but he should've. He's now been tainted as a racist. Actually, if he was a racist he would've forfeited the match and said, "I don't play with blacks."

To add some media spin, several reporters are LYING and SPECULATING and insisting the white guy MUST HAVE SAID SOMETHING besides "You're friends," something that the court microphones didn't pick up. Something that the black player and black judge haven't quoted, something the official at the match haven't quoted. Gosh, golly, the white guy must've used the N-word or something.

But even if he didn't, hell, "You're friends" is good enough.

Hope he comes back to the tournament next year. Hope he wins a few rounds. After all, if he does manage to get a little prize money, I'm sure he'd want it in Harriet Tubman $20 bills.
