They couldn’t top Sandy Koufax so they gave up trying.

There’s plenty of blacks in baseball. They just have spanish names because they’re from the DR.

I know Chris Rock is a comedian but crap like this further stokes the fires of racism in the country. If you are forever dividing up and counting which color is in which group, racism will never stop.
The fans don't care what color the athletes are. They enjoy the game.

It’s like this Chris, it takes time to be a good baseball player. At least 3-4 years playing in the minors then maybe another 3-4 years riding the bench in the show. Why would AA yutes want to do that when they can be millionaires a year out of high school? Baseball would be perfect for AA yutes where they can fail 70% of the time and still be considered good.

African Americans? I know several from South Africa. What color of skin is he referring to?

Yes, I was going to mention Dominicans too. Of course many Dominicans are quite Hispanic looking, but I think most of them are what we call Black,
In fact, I remember the first time I ever saw, or I should say heard, Dominicans. I went home and asked my mother “who are those black people who speak Spanish?” and she said “Dominicans”.
They should be considered more “truly black” that our President.

Just a hunch here, but maybe it’s because they like faster moving sports and/or contact sports? Again ... just guessing.
Rock is an idiot.

Howcum, as part of the complaint, wasn’t it mentioned that most MLBaseball players are from the Caribbean region? That should have been the first sentence of Rock’s complaint.

Maybe they are selling drugs and rioting rather than playing Baseball?

Oh yes...that wonderful urban philosopher Chris Rock....Always a source of ghetto wisdom!
I saw him once in a club, he’s about 5’4” and a complete clown.

about 14% **** 11% Has it been shrinking? Perhaps it has with all the black-on black killing. All the more reason Rock has rocks in his head.

No violence.
Now if center fielder could shoot at the base runner they’d be all in.
