Saddened to hear of the passing of baseball great Hank Aaron. He was a trailblazer for Black Americans in professional baseball and overcame hatred and death threats on his journey to break Babe Ruth’s home run record and become a hall of famer.

Nah dude, you would have done everything in your power to restrict Hank's ability to vote. Then you would have tried to throw those votes out and when that didn't work you'd amp up your "fraud" claims and end up getting 5 people killed

You can't lament racism AND uphold White supremacy at the same time,

“We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country. The bigger difference is that back then, they had hoods. Now, they have neckties and starched shirts.”

Why is it the only time you mention racism is after a well known Black person dies? Never after one of them is murdered by police, even in our own state. Never after the insurrection. Never. You exploit their death to pretend you care about racism while being racist.
