        I could be wrong, but I think their banner implies that racism is a part of America, in the way cancer is to a body; as a deadly disease...

        ...this banner "seems" [to me] to be CALLING OUT the racism that's interwoven into America's social fabric, & that it can no longer hide.

        Although White Supremacy is in the news lately, I don't think even those individuals would PROMOTE racism; just "elevating" their own race.

        My guess is that the people displayed the banner to SUPPORT multiculturalism; following BLATANT acts of racism at Fenway earlier this year.

        Wrong! Baseball has a history of racism but murdered no particular race of people, racism has and continues to with many different teams!pic.twitter.com/4DQ4O1OU1N

        Red Sox fans/real Americans should be outraged. Promoting division, fear & hate is not free speech. It is a pact w/ the devil & W nation.

        We're going to have to start banning libtards from baseball games I'm afraid. Sorry, didn't wanna do it. You couldn't handle it.
