I found this in the Neal’s Nuze section, all I could do was laugh, I mean seriously folks what can I possible say. All white people are guilty until….well….. NEVER, you all are racist.
I bet y’all got up this morning and said to yourselves what black person can I screw around today?
I bet one of you cut a black man off in traffic, or refused service to another black person in a restaurant, I bet one of you tripped a black baby in a park while they were playing.
If white umpires are racist, well dammit all of y’all are!

According to a new study, baseball umpires are racist. Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor at the University of Texas in Austin brings us this gem. He found that MLB umpires called more strikes when the pitcher and the ump are of their same race. That’s right … more strikes! When they are not of the same race, they tend to call more balls.Now here’s a shocking statistic. According to the article, “It doesn’t happen all the time.” Oh yeah? Ok then how often does it happen … 1% of the time … that’s about one pitch per game — enough to Time Magazine to run a story titled “Are Baseball Umpire Racist?”

Could we possibly overuse that word just a little more?

Oh and Time also made a point to let us know that this study benefits white people, “Not surprising, since 71% of MLB pitchers and 87% of umpires are white.”
