Running racism in America thread

He HAD to be doing on his on, wanting to go out with a bang. I wouldn't be surprised if it was done as sarcastic response to what he was feeling could happen in today's climate. It's too outrageous to not be thought forward. I think he's not racist, but bringing racism to light in a misguided way.

 

Oh. FAFO.

Well, let him Find Out.

 

The sad thing is driving a forklift for your future is kind of fun.

I think I've shared this before but in 1989 at the Gm 4 WS, I was targeted (when A's were on the way to the sweep and I mockingly cheered an A's hit) with the "why don't you go back to Vietnam" from someone a few rows back from me who was upset at the A's. My response was "my grandfather came here 100 years ago, when did you get here?" It was nice to hear those around me say "glad you said that and shut him up."
