The New York Yankees are banning music by Kate Smith who made the song “God Bless America“ famous, because early in her professional career she mistakenly complied with a request to sing two songs that had racist lyrics.
She subsequently repented and became an advocate for fairness to all people. If they’re going to excoriate her reputation because of that incident, shouldn’t they expunge the records of all the Yankees who played with that uniform on before the integration of baseball?
The point is we can become ridiculous with our application of political correctness. Wise people learn from the past rather than allowing themselves to be ruled by it.
Great piece. You always show the light at the end of the tunnel.
Wasn’t it from a musical that was mocking racism. The songs written were co-written with he son of an escaped slave and civil rights activist?
That’s exactly right Joe
Maybe the @Yankees can tell us a bit more about waiting until 1955 to integrate.
I don't think they should be called "The Bronx Bombers" anymore. That sounds to much like a threat.
I love Kate Smith’s song, and I love how she sings it. The 7th inning was a powerful reminder of right. The 7th inning always made me proud of my NY Yankees. Makes me sad they gave in to PC.
That song sucked (her version). So glad I never have to hear it again
Yeah, and Kevin Hart was a homophobe. Thank God we live in a country where people can make mistakes, learn from them, and become better human beings.
