The Yankees have taken a stand against racism for their seventh-inning stretch.
For 18 years, Yankee Stadium regularly used Kate Smith’s 1939 recording of “God Bless America” in the middle of the seventh inning. But they ditched it altogether this season, replacing Smith’s rendition with different versions of the song. Why? As the Daily News learned, the Yankee were made aware of Smith’s history of potential racism.

Potential racism, another way to eliminate things the commies don’t like.
As if I needed another reason to hate the damn Yankees.
What racism? All Liberals and such want to use revisionist history to condemn people for the times they lived in. GThis is wrong, I liked Kate Smith and she was a very talented lady, shame on the Yankees.
George Steinbrenner must be spinning in his grave at what his sons have done to this once great team.
I’m equally unbiased for baseball (or any other ball/sport) as that I hate them all.
No doubt.
Didn’t liberals hate him and the people who benefited after his death?
Billy Martin was amusing on those beer commercials. Those 70s and 80s beer ads of less filling, taste great were great. They failed with me. I could never stand beer or alcohol. Coffee is another thing I can’t stand.
Oh, well, just one more reason to hate the Yankees.
The equal to double secret probation?
I haven’t watched a full baseball game since the early 1990s.
That’s pathetic.
If you is white and love America, you are prolly a potential racist. Even if you are dead!
Oh awesome. Fighting ‘racism’ and climate change. Micky is spinning in his grave. So is Babe.
Cultural genocide in action.
Dear Lord, the stupid is so thick these days. Oh no, people used to record minstrel songs. Who knew?!! FYI: it wasn’t a “video,” dimwits. It’s from the 1932 movie “Hello, Everybody.” I guess movies released 87 years ago now count as revelatory news to the wet-behind-their-ears morons of the SJW movement. Say, here’s some more shocking news you’d better censor: that movie is about Kate’s heartbreak at losing Randolph Scott to her slender and beautiful sister, Sally Blane. FAT-SHAMING!!!!!
We must also throw every performer who ever wore blackface down the memory hole, which would include Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Jerry Lewis...and Bert Williams, the great black vaudeville star.
I will be happy when the whole lot of these mouth-breathing idiots die from measles, mumps, whooping cough and polio because they refused to get vaccinated.
Potential racism? Hell, every Democrat in the land can be accused of that!
Wait a sec.
Didn’t they not allow negros way back when?
What the hell is “potential racism”? Is that like potential energy?
I hope that one day whites will push back before they push us off a cliff.
