The words "Heil Hitler" and swastikas were written on the Jackie Robinson sculpture at a Brooklyn ballpark last week, and the reward for information about who did it has risen to $50,000.

I realize there's wisdom in generally letting trolls lie. But I'm also pleased to be able to call out the people who anonymously peddle hate on the blog where I work.

So this morning, in honor of the Jackie Robinson sculpture—in which Pee Wee is embracing the man who was forced to act like a statue during his first season(s)—I'd like to call out a racist here on Slog: Catsnbanjos.

Here's catsnbanjos' entire catalog of hate. Among other things, catsnbanjos recently took the opportunity of me writing about a series of photographs taken in Africa to basically call me a N*****-lover.

Fnarf called it out in that thread:

Catsnbanjos might want to watch "Birth of a Nation" for the 10,000th time while masturbating furiously into a confederate-flag sock, but the rest of us are interested in the world we live in.

We don't have $50,000 in reward money, but if we did, I'd give it to Fnarf and anybody else who takes the time to eloquently defeat the hate in our comment threads. I don't have the energy to stay on top of it, and I really appreciate those who care enough to make Slog better. I wish we had a tag for those people.

As for catsnbanjos, I want to thank you, too. You prove that racism is alive and well, lest any of us be lulled into forgetting that. Keep those racist comments coming!

If anyone wants to leave their favorite Slog racist in the comments, maybe we can get them all together in one place for a big thank-you.

Race-based hatred originating in fear and resulting in violence is no thing of the past.

Thanks to all our commenters.
