This is one of those things you’re not allowed to say.
Although Jackie was something of a RINO: he worked for Nelson Rockefeller and was a fervent Rocky supporter. Like many Rockefeller Republicans (probably including Lord Nelson himself), he supported the corrupt, amoral LBJ over Goldwater.
There’s no doubt Jackie liked Ike but has switched to LBJ by 64.
I do like Jackie’s story because he made it in the face of all the contempt from fellow players and even the epithets of fans.
There were no “hate crimes” laws, thank God.
Jackie heard it all from the stands and overcame it to be a star.
I’m proud of Jackie Robinson for that because his story has nothing to do with political correctness, affirmative action, civil rights or diversity, etc, etc.
He did a lot to bridge racial division in this country with his character.
