They are not African American players. They've likely never stepped foot in Africa. They are Americans, born & raised. That said, they are two outstanding baseball players & we will be proud of all they're going to accomplish in the maroon & white uniform. Both will be considered among the all time great Bulldog baseball players by the time they leave Starkville.
Yet prominent black leaders keep screaming the same thing. And somehow it's still racist to say that we need to stop mentioning color.Quote:

Like Todd said, I want great baseball players. I was thrilled seeing our lead off batter last night. Didn't give two shits what color he is.

Politicians & activists love to keep this division going bc they profit big time from it. It's one of the largest money grabs in the world & now you're starting to see the same thing with the transgender(demonic) movement. At this rate it will over take the race bait grift within 10 years. We are living in an upside down world.

I saw no reference to "RedNeck-American"... Xenophobe!!!Quote:
