that the percentage of black baseball players has really declined a lot in recent years.

Actually, I don’t think it has. The percentage of black American baseball players has declined, but the black players from the Caribbean don’t count as ‘black’ for purposes of the ‘lament’.

= = = = = = = = = = = =

I always figured the ‘rule of thumb’ was the blacks and dark skinned Central & South America were considered Black when they ‘behaved’ or White when they misbehaved.

I also think the Central &South Americans don’t call themselves African Americans, they call themselves, Dominicans, Haitians etc etc
