Mark Linder (@UNAAthletics) December 17, 2012Here’s the despicable racist tweet that got University of North Alabama player, Bradley Patterson, kicked off his team:
The tweet was brought to the University’s attention after it was highlighted by Deadspin.
Within the past several hours, Patterson deleted his Twitter account.
Goodbye and good riddance:
Good bye #BradleyPatterson, you racist a-hole who won't be playing football any longer. #justice inquisitr.com/441841/bradley…—

But as T. Becket Adams points out, not all racial rubbish and hate-monger on Twitter is treated equally.
@BuzzFeedAndrew Equally abhorrent things have been said about @michellemalkin and @REALStaceyDash (1/2)—

@BuzzFeedAndrew But I'm not sure why now you've decided to highlight the awful things people say on Twitter. (2/2)—
