When are they going to start removing statutes and plaques of baseball heroes that might have been racist?
What time is it now? Shortly after this post, then.
The documentary series by Ken Burns had one on wrongs against African Americans by baseball, then on Latinos, etc.
Summary: white racism flowed in gushes from Ty Cobb down to anti-Hank Aaron hate mail. All whites in the country are racists and baseball shows that.
That is one step from destruction of statues and placques. We'll be lucky to be allowed to have one token American flag in a ball park soon. It will be in an inferior position to a BLM,Black Panthers, Feminist and LGBTQ flag row above them.
