I’m not even sure why we’re bothering to answer M. He’s clearly not a fan of the Bleacher Nation or it wouldn’t have taken him two months to respond to this article. He’s probably not even a fan of the Cubs. My guess is he’s one of those blogger assasins who randomly responds to his google search of the 4 million articles with the word “rascist” in it and then moves on without bothering to read the responses. Godspeed to you, M, and your neverending quest to bring “the man” down, one posting at a time.

And now, back to baseball talk…

True this. But I think it’s a secondary admission to that of being a dipshit with no imagination. Seriously, if you had wanted to get on Bradley’s back…aren’t there a half a dozen things related to his comportment as a baseball player one could focus on? I would tend to think “hey, you’re a shitty ballplayer” would be way more insulting than “hey, you’re not white.”

I think to the extent there are folks screaming epithets from the bleachers, M, they’re pretty much admitting to the entire world that they are racist.

I am white. I was teacher in an almost all black school. I was subjected to rascism on an hourly basis. It happens everywhere and with every color. The difference between you and me is that you (for some reason) still feel the need to get preachy with everybody. If you want to be a successful business man, then put on your suit and do it. I ignored the racism because I was just happy to teach math to students, regardless of their color. Instead of calling everyone out you should look in the mirror and ask yourself what really is important to you.

I love how people “can’t believe” that these black players were subjected to racist mail and taunts. As a black man I have always said that the dirtiest looks I got were when I was wearing a suit and tie. There are just people in the world who do not want to see a black man do well. If I am man enough to take the racism, be man enough to admit you are racist.

People who are going to take the time to write a letter to someone to tell them how much they hate them are going to use colorful language and not be too deep in their ability to insult someone. The easiest way to convey one’s hatred of a person of a certain ethnicity is to use the common stereotypical epithets.

I’m sure the venom against Todd Hundley was no less hurtful, but instead of throwing the n-word around, the louts who wrote to Hundley probably drew on his alcoholism as a source for exhibiting their hate. How attacking one player’s ethnicity is somehow viewed worse than the expressions of hatred heaped on the white players that get attacked is beyond me.

It is all hate and it is all stupid. Boo their performances on the field, but attacking these players personally is ridiculous and needs to stop no matter what color they are.

Not all Cubs fans are racist. I know I am not. If Cubs fans were racist, how has DLee, Aramis Ramirez, and Carlos Zambrano managed to stay around so long? I get tired of folks who think at the first sign of criticism, they instead scream racism. There is a fine line.
