Brandon Phillips accuses Pirates of racism
This came to my attention this morning after reading a piece on Getting Blanked by Dustin Parkes, where he noted that Brandon Phillips of the Reds accused a mystery Pirate of racism during Monday's game between the two teams. After the game, Phillips tweeted this out:
#RealTalk... Not really surprised by what I heard come outta another player's mouth tonite but DAMN... Still PISSED bout that $h¡+!! #Racism
— Brandon Phillips (@DatDudeBP) September 11, 2012
This is obviously a serious allegation, and Phillips' main issue apparently came after he was hit by Pirates reliever Jared Hughes in the eighth inning. Check out the video below.
After Hughes plunked Phillips, the All-Star second baseman flips the ball back to the mound, and Hughes starts jawing with Phillips...well, jawing at Phillips, because the Reds star ignored him. Umpires got involved and warned both benches. After the inning, Phillips and Pirates star Andrew McCutchen had a brief discussion about the incident, which was apparently retaliation for McCutchen and Josh Harrison of the Pirates getting hit in a prior series.
At any rate, if what Hughes was shouting at Phillips was indeed a racist comment, there should be a punishment handed down. I know it probably happens more than it should, but there's no reason for that at any time. On another note, how about Phillips keeping his cool after getting hit and not turning the incident into a brawl? He's had an issue with being hot-headed in the past, and this is a step in the right direction for him, at least.

Japan is 98.5% Japanese. Japan does not let foreigners vote and kicks them out all the time. Japan is RICH and has a horrendous colonial history. Yet no "Anti-Racists" are demanding the Japanese children in Japan be replaced with a Blended humanity to end "racism". They only Demand this of White children
This is the common ground on which anti-Whites say we must all agree:
What is non-White belongs to non-Whites.
What is White also belongs to non-Whites.
Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
