I never heard an apology from Jackie Robinson to men like
Willie Mays and Jim Ray Hart for his criticism of them
for not acting and talking like they were “down for the
struggle” during their baseball careers.
Jackie Robinson was a Republican, but in 1964 he turned Left and never looked back, declaring that, “Goldwaterism is Hitlerism.”
At that point, I said, “Screw you, Jackie Robinson.”
