    A sign, dropped down by fans at Fenway Park, read: "Racism is as American as Baseball." It lasted one batter.http://nyti.ms/2f7dQCb

        This isn't denouncing racism, it's calling the average American racist, there's a difference

        No it's not, it's saying that racism is a belief system that is American. That's true.

        So racism never existed outside of American and is somehow necessarily intertwined with American identity? Are Black Americans not American?

        Were not considered real citizens. And are still too often subject to racist practices. Is it really that hard to understand?

        Denying the racial progress that has been made and being pessimistic about the independence of racism and American identity is unhelpful

        Denying that racism still exists is dangerous.

        Who is doing that? I'm just saying that this isn't an anti-racist banner. Diff between saying all cops are pigs and policy brutality is bad

        Dumb sign. But can't tell if this pro or anti racism. Also how tf did they get that thing through security.

        Ask some tribal Hunter gatherers they are usually quite racist. Our whole evolutionary history is packed full of racism.

        I think it's not pro racism or against racism. I think it's just a true statement. If it offends you, read a few books on US history

        It's offense is the execution. The message is on point, the time and place were not.

        Maybe, just maybe if people stopped tip toeing around racism in America there would be a need for people to voice it that way

        I agree with you on all parts, but, to me, there are far better platforms. These comments show that as people can't even agree on the intent

        Very true ,I believe it was used to gain attention but at the end of the day it has started a discussion around the nation
