Last week's SI has yet another racist article on the incredibly boring topic of the supposed lack of blacks in baseball. Called "Young, Gifted and Black," it's filled with endless praise of the Tampa Bay Rays for having the most blacks of any MLB team.
Here's a real doublespeak quote from Rays outfielder Cliff Floyd: "In this day and age that list [of all the blacks drafted by Tampa in recent years] is pretty unbelievable. As an African American player it's a joy to see. Getting African American kids back in baseball is a huge issue, and I'm proud to be part of a team that is doing something about it. They are obviously looking for talent -- talent and nothing else."
Translation -- blacks are where the talent is, and all the other teams are racist for not drafting as many of them as Tampa.
Here's a quote in the article from Tampa outfielder Carl Crawford: "I grew up in Houston, and I don't remember the Astros having any African American players besides Derek Bell. I didn't really mind because I loved the Astros no matter what. But a lot of my friends, who were really good players, would complain. They would be like, 'Why should I care about that team? Why should I care about baseball?' And they stopped playing. It matters where you live. You have to be able to turn on the TV and see players who look like you."
Unless you're white, as whites are the demonized race and are not expected to want or need role models who look like them.
This Cultural Marxist piece of black supremacist propaganda refers to blacks almost exclusively as "African Americans." Why? Because the oft-repeated statistic of just 8% blacks in baseball is a lie. Coal black, full-blooded Negroes from Central America along with mixed-race blacks from outside the U.S. are deliberately not included to make the figure seem lower than what itis. By referring to African Americans rather than just blacks it is easier to manipulate the actual situation.
And at 8% of a league which is about one-third non-American, U.S. blacks are represented at almost exactly their percentage of the U.S. population. In other words agreat example of "equality" in action, something that should be praised to the rafters if the real agenda was to have races represented proportionately in all sectors of society, yet we get endless wailing and whining abouta "lack of blacks"even though no anti-black intent by MLB can be found; in fact just the opposite.
The real tragedy is that about 98 percent of whites either still haven't grasped that the real policy is to phase them out as rapidly as possible through immigration and psychological warfare designed to make them feel and act like third class citizens, or they actually support this policy.
