Tip Of The Cap To Tony Stewart For Using The “I Had A Black Roommate” Defense Against Racist Allegations

Nascar driver, team owner, and resident manslaughterer Tony Stewart has found himself firmly planted in the midst of this Colin Kaepernick controversy after offering up his hot take on the backup 49ers quarterback not standing for the National Anthem. Occasionally sprinkled in between people reminding him that he literally ran a competitor down in cold blood were the individuals that accused Stewart of being a bigot. Little did they know, Stewart was ready for that lobbed up meatball of an accusation with the perfect defense.

Exactly. Nice try, Gina. But T-bone had a black roommate for five years. Bet you didn’t see that coming. Not to mention, a black president the last eight. Well half-black. Either way that’s pretty much a get out of racist jail free card he now has in his back pocket that he can play the rest of his life.

And you know who also had black roommates? The founding fathers of this great nation, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. You going to call them racists, too? Pretty sure they said something along the lines of “All men being created equal.” So if you do the math and having black roommates means you believe all men are equal, then Tony Stewart should really be on the twenty dollar bill, not Harriet Tubman. I think that adds up. Math was never my strong suit..
