This is such an outrageous story, and exemplifies why liberals are not only out of touch but dangerous. What it shows is how forgiving we are, not how “white” we are. For every crime except murder there’s a statute of limitations. After seven years, we no longer have to keep our income records. After seven years, every cell in the human body is new.
Secular socialists are incapable of forgiveness, but our very judicial system and our Western way of life is predicated on the Christian concept of forgiveness. How else can we move forward?
Fishwrap.
After the game, he mumbled something about being influenced by rap lyrics.
...
Seems like a legitimate excuse to me.
Maybe ‘they’ are onto something here.
If this ‘kid’ was a boor way back when maybe he should be ‘punished’ for it now.
RIGHT AFTER
We dig through ALL the college and high school pictures of the Black sportspeople and gig them for every picture of them with a ‘clenched black fist’, a Tommy Smith photo, a Malcolm X shirt, BLM gear, bandanas, headbands, dreadlocks, cornrows etc etc then we can run their 17 yo arse up the flagpole along with the idiotic White boys that did the same type things or dared be in a picture with a ‘Rebel Flag’ in it somewhere.
The one poster that said the Central & South Americans have no respect for the American Flag may be correct but I seriously doubt you could get ANY of them to say that WE haven’t given them a golden opportunity and some of the younguns even learn English (Juan Soto with the National is 19 and speaks better English than a good number of the College ‘educated’ Black football & basketball players).
Like the Flag or not, they all seem to stand at attention (or what is deemed to be attention in todays world) during playing of the National Anthem
Does the NBA ever show its blackness?
We live in an age of unbridled white id.
How many white people have a poster or t-shirt with a fist on it with words Black Power?.
In truth, I never have done so by my own choice. My life-long "boycott" of sportsball of all kinds has been right up there with my "boycott" of the flu; I just don't like it and go all kinds of out of my way to avoid it. That year they all went on strike was one of the best years of my life.
Ok, and when a Black says “Black Power” it’s OK?
Your problem is that you are obsessed with hate for Whitey, and are blaming Whitey for your hate.
When a White REPEATS racist words that were originally spoken by a Black, the White becomes racist. You see, the words are NOT RACIST when spoken by a Black, but change into something racist when pronounced by a White.
Nooooo. Blacks call each other HO, MF, Ni****, bitch, and worse, but are NEVER criticized for it. I’m sick of the double standard.
“Let’s pose a counterfactual: Josh Hader is black, and an excavation of his Twitter account reveals that he called whites “crackers,” wrote of his hatred for them and endorsed an organization that engaged in genocidal violence against whites. One of his tweets included a picture of a clenched black fist. That black pitcher had also expressed hatred for gays and made graphic, misogynist statements.”
I say it all depends on his current behavior...and ERA.
They guy was 17. Deal with it.
The same people going after Hader on this are the same people excusing all the pedo comments from lefties. #pizzagate is real.
GFY you white hater.
People are tired of the total hypocrisy behind all this race crap. Tired of whites being fair game to unload on all the while ignoring the racial crap coming from many non-whites. Plus so called 'POC' being encouraged to embrace their ethnicity while whites are demonized if any inkling of ethnicity is shown or suggested.
Seems, these days, for white people - especially males - to get into any profession, they have to pass the “did-I-do-anything-even-remotely-racist-since-birth” test.
The problem with these naysayers is, those with “white privilege”, are just those with “white” skin...and the haters can’t stand it.
Maybe it’s because THEY weren’t born “white’...I don’t know, but envy is a prime cause for “hate”...especially when you’re talking about someone you don’t even know, at all, then the only thing your *could be* talking about is the color of their skin.
The only exception are *white* movie stars, *white* famous people, and *white* millionaires...somehow, they are exempt.
If the dude can throw the ball better than anyone else, he should get the job. Professional baseball is not a government entity, and is certainly not a “social experiment”.
Baseball is, by far, the most racial diverse professional sport.
First world problem: To many whites playing baseball...but did they forgot Asian players?
that’s nothing compared to what the mayor of Charlottesville said, and much more recently - and he got elected by his dem constituents hungry for the city-funded $50K/head he pays out to his supporters
