Wait, I thought it was bad to have a team or class or group of only one race?!

I’m really rooting for this “all black” team. Reminds me of the New Zealand All Blacks team.
Oh, I forgot to add the heavy sarcasm symbol....sorry, not.
When will we learn?
Nice sentiment but you are a suck up!
When we stop calling them “Afro Americans” it could be that they will assimilate? Nah, they have it too good now to change the moniker...and we won’t change our attitudes towards them either. Stalemate, Checkmate, we still pay for them in the end.
If it makes you feel any better, they’re going to get throttled by South Korea tomorrow. They don’t have any pitchers left.
I’ll be rooting for the Koreans.
Wrong foot on the rubber...this guy is NOT AN AMERICAN!!!!
He is a fake from the word go. The Faggot Delivery is not the only thing that jumps out of the picture to me!!
Yeah, I remember Dan Patrick saying Jackie Robinson was by far the greatest American athlete ever. I thought he was doing the usual PC stuff. Then he started ticking off facts like you mentioned. It was incredible! Football, track & field ... baseball was way down the list of his skills.
BTW - Frank Robinson was the best player on his HS basketball team in SF. The Center was a big, awkward kid named Bill Russell.
Yeah, it looks like the infielders have fallen down laughing.
It hasn't been "Afro-Americans" since 1972. Crawl back under your rock and keep drinking.
Unfortunately, this entire thread speaks volumes about this forum at this point in time. Just read some of the posts. These are 12 year old kids we’re talking about.
Do I care if they win? Why is it ok that a team could be 100% black, but if a suburban team of Caucasians it would not be okay? Go South Korea.
I’ve been on the LLWS Facebook page since 09 and never saw racism on there until now. And ESPN lets it stay up.
You are too dumb to get the “Afro” reference? Maybe you should just STFU. I don’t drink or live under a rock.
HINT...they are not from Africa. They live with us here and have no idea where, on the earth, to find Africa. STFU
IF THEY WANT TO SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM OTHERS THEN THEY SHOULD DISTINGUISH THE COLOR OF THEIR SKINS. THEY ARE BLACK AMERICANS. PERIOD.
OH, WAIT A MINUTE. I HAVE USED A RACIALLY CHARGED DESCRIPTION. MY POINT IS THAT WE SHOULD AND THEY SHOULD STOP CALLING THEMSELVES ANYTHING BUT AMERICANS. ALWAYS IN THE SLAVERY MODE, ALWAYS IN THE VICTIM MODE.
Robinson was a Republican, and he was strongly committed to the civil rights issue. He was a big backer of Nixon but acidly condemned Barry Goldwater in ‘64 calling him a bigot. After the election Goldwater and Robinson met, and Robinson changed his attitude about Goldwater realizing that Goldwater was no bigot but a strong believer in the constitution.
Jim Thorpe wasn’t too shabby either. Robinson might have been a greater all-sport athlete, but Thorpe wasn’t too far behind. Thorpe also excelled in four sports including basketball. Of course pro football was in its infancy when Thorpe was past his prime, and he was never as good a big league ballplayer as Robinson. But he might have been a better all-around track and field man than Robinson considering he won the decathlon in the 1912 Olympics. When they later took his medals away they said it broke his heart.
Now that’s the kind of diversity that the Rev’s appreciate. No whitey’s allowed here.
Reminds me of when Michael Jordan thought he could play base ball. He maintained about a .140 batting average on a minor league team. (But he did buy them a spiffy new bus.
Blacks will always languish in ghettoes until they are treated as equals to whites...by the government and its media. they start following behaviors that lead to success, like valuing education, staying with their children, getting married before having children, treating others with respect, avoiding violence, admiring hard work and effort, not making heroes out of those who harm others, stop looking at race before character, etc etc etc
There, fixed it.
No concern for diversity? Just like the NBA has no concern for diversity. Lying hypocrites.
