Some Texas Rangers fans are still trying to grasp the amount of moves the front office has made. They shipped off second baseman Ian Kinsler for Prince Fielder in a move that seemed to benefit the team’s line up. Then they traded outfielder Craig Gentry to the Oakland A’s for Michael Choice.
Some Rangers fans have noticed the lack of white players on the team and seem to be upset. It is important to note that this is a very small minority of Rangers fans, and not reflective of their fan base as a whole.

But he claims he was making fun of the others:
@BarfieldRage @runawayvan The quotations around mine (and in all caps) was to imply I was making fun of the same people you're referring to.

Who also claims he was making fun of the others:
Doesn’t seem upset, just pointing it out:
