'Back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts'

Disappointing, but at least he’s better than Bonds, but that ain’t sayin much.
All ready to scream racism for the election season, right on time, right out of the Democrat’s play book.
Whenever anyone mentions “the greatest hitter in the game,” I’m with you. Ted Williams comes to mind.
And I’m a Yankee fan.
From the linked article....
“We can talk about baseball. Talk about politics. Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated.
“We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country.
“The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”
I guess Jackie Robinson was a KKK member, then.
Uh, they all look the same?
Hey, Hank, the NRA was founded to defend black ownership of guns so they could defend themselves against the KKK.
Roger that. It was evil europeans raiding Africa by the thousands capturing and enslaving entire villages on a daily basis using GPS co-ordinates to track em down. At least that’s what the lsm would have folks believe. Good thing muslimes never enslaved people huh?
Must be the steroids talking.
Hank Aaron, Harry Belafonte, Jesse Jackson, et al, are going to find that the constant waving of the race card is becoming like the boy who cried wolf.
IBITHWD.....................
What a great point. Needs to be repeated.
Teddy Ballgame gets my vote too. Heck he missed almost five years of prime playing time flying combat missions in WW II and Korea.
Thanks, I haven't had my coffee yet.
This is just a part of the regular news cycle these days:
Monday: Black black black black black black black ...
Tuesday: Gay gay gay gay gay gay gay ...
Wednesday: Black black black black black black black ...
Repeat ad nauseum ...
How two groups that together comprise less than 15 percent of the population get so much attention is astounding to me.
Good Lord...this racial nonsense crap has got to stop.
Oprah suggested that some “white guys” have to just die....guess the same goes for Hank’s generation of racist blacks too since they just can’t let go of the past?
Last night the wife & I dined at a local establishment and were one of the only paste colored folks there. Everybody else was black, as were the servers. We we treated extremely well and I left a fat tip for the very kind waitress. Kindness and Hospitality goes a long way.
I hold no ill will towards anybody, regardless of race/religion. We all end up dead eventually and will be judged by our Creator Lord Jesus. I really wish Hank would hang up the card and get over it all ready—we’d be far better off for it.
Hank, we just caught your foul ball, and you’re OUT!
Yeah, Hank, the Braves are leaving their not-quite twenty year old ballpark WHY again?
AFAIK, Aaron has always been like this. Back when he broke the HR record, he was saying things like "once my career is over, it's go to the back of the bus". He's lucky he was a good baseball player. Otherwise, he'd probably be another under achiever blaming "the man for keepin' him down".
