If black males make up 6% of the population, then how is there a problem with 6% of the major league players being black?

I say we need Diversity in football and basketball. Too many black players.

Where’s the Inclusion of whites? I want my equity.

If blacks were proportionally represented in MLB, there would be 12%, not 6%.
