        It was also important the Jackie Robinson took all the racist abuse without any pushback. He had to be both a great player and turn more cheeks then there are Jesus statues in America.

        The conventional wisdom is that school desegregation started because Oliver Brown had unique skills Homer Plessy lacked, but ACTUALLY powerful white elites played a major role in creating the Jim Crow system. In my groundbreaking new corporate training book I will

        Clearly doesn't understand what made Robinson special. He had the combination of incredible skill combined with character and self control that changed people's minds. Without those things, the next black player might have been a long time coming.

        Bingo. Robinson broke the barrier because they knew he could withstand what was coming to him without breaking.

        Granted, she doesn't mention the long historically-situated nature of his breakthrough, I don't think she's *wrong* about how JR's story is perceived on a very shallow, impressionistic level by ppl who don't follow sports. It's resented in a simplistic way, like all "Am heroes."
