Class and dignity have given way to race-baiting stupidity.
Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron compared Republicans that oppose President Barack Obama to the Ku Klux Klan.
Speaking to USA Today Tuesday on the 40th anniversary of his then record-breaking 715th home run, the 80-year-old Aaron said that Republicans are hindering Obama’s job performance.
“Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.
Aaron continued: “The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”
Except for letters that were dated over 40 years ago, Aaron can’t give any examples of so-called racism.
Having said that, Larry Elder has challenged Aaron to name names.
All the Left really has, is the race card. Obama is supposedly despised because of the amount of melanin in his skin; it couldn’t be that he’s a corrupt, petty little tyrant and a narcissistic sociopath.
His foot is ‘stuck in the mud’ because the American people are fed up with a corrupt out-of-control regime that wields government agencies like a billy club, tramples the Constitution, and commits crimes against the country.
So what do Hank’s Dem comrades think of black Republicans who oppose Obama’s socialist train wreck?….Wait for it…..wait for it…..“Oreos”, “Uncle Toms”, House Niggas” and many more racial epithets.
Robert Byrd who served as a Democrat senator for decades, was a bona fide member of the KKK. As a matter of fact, the KKK functioned as the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party. When it comes to racism, the Democrats have a corner on the market. Their history of racial hatred and exploitation is lengthy.
No one does racism like the left, and I’ve seen plenty of racism on the part of minorities. The fact that these imbeciles fling racial epithets at people of their own color because they think for themselves and refuse to buy into the victimology crap, is contemptible.
White owners, managers, and coaches also fought for the integration of sports teams. Aaron’s fans and supporters through the years included a lot of white people, Republicans included. If all of us are fucking racist, you would have never been allowed to swing a bat during a major league baseball game.
He joins a list of leftwing politicians, entertainers, constituent tools, and media hacks who spew some of the most despicable shit whenever someone wavers from their obnoxious PC narrative.
Aaron just destroyed any respect I had for him. Thanks for adding to the proof that racists come in all colors.
Kiss my bare white ass.
Baseball icon Hank Aaron has dropped from venerated sports idol to being a bitter, ignorant, bigoted, pitiful old man. It’s truly sad for us more senior folks to read this story.
Aaron equates modern Republicans with the KKK. And there’s no equivocating about it. If Republicans criticize Obama, that’s racist. Modern coat and tie Republicans used to wear white sheets — according to Aaron.
Consider his concluding “proof” that blacks are being discriminated against in MLB:
***
As an example, Aaron cited the decrease in U.S.-born black baseball players as evidence of modern-day structural racism. Last season, just 7.7 percent of MLB players were black.
“When I first started playing, you had a lot of black players in the major leagues,” Aaron said. “Now, you don’t have any. So what progress have we made? You try to understand, but we’re going backward.”
***
Pathetic. Blacks are being “replaced” primarily by HISPANICS, plus players from other countries (especially Hispanics, but also Japan). Whites are NOT “replacing” blacks in MLB.
Today the black culture holds talented black football and basketball players in the highest esteem — but seldom extols black baseball players. Black kids get the message early — concentrate on football or basketball — the “black” sports.
Some talented black kids have found that tennis and golf offer more lucrative opportunities — sports that in the past were denied to them, so they might have concentrated on baseball. Moreover, inner city schools simply don’t have baseball diamonds. Nor is there any pressure to provide them.
Black interest in baseball has largely evaporated — a significant concern to MLB. For more detail on how MLB treats blacks, see this “report card”:
