“”This crapping on white people never ends. Its as if blacks are the master race””
Can’t help but think of the Ken Burns series “Jackie Robinson” that was shown on GA PBS the past two evenings. He had a lot to say AFTER he was allowed to do so but he never denigrated white Americans. Think of the time period (1947-53) and how different the times were. We didn’t hear all the “hate whitey” stuff we hear today and mostly encouraged and instigated by “the man” in the big WHITE HOUSE!
He had legitimate concerns/grievances wanting to eat with the rest of the Dodger team, stay in the same hotels, swim in the same pools, even use the same showers, etc. Not to mention the right to buy a home they could afford in a neighborhood they could afford and preferred.
The bulk of his treatment came from fellow players and was a heck of a lot more hideous than anything Sharpton or any other race hustler today ever had to put up with. It gave us a lot more insight into the man than any news story or movie ever did. It was excellent. Ken Burns does magnificent work!
Jackie Robinson was Republican and good friend of Gov Nelson Rockefeller
