Reggie Jackson talks about Jim Crow & returning to Rickwood Field

[MostReal]

Legendary take, thank you so much for that Reggie Jackson
MLB and the country needed this.

It's interesting that Fox reposted the clips in an edited format because I saw this reposted by multiple baseball accounts last night in the unedited version on TV. I know somebody was probably feeling some type of way during that.

Reggie letting people know that destroying racism isn't just a black folk issue, it's an everyone issue.

Man that was powerful.

I also love how Reggie said he was ready to die for this shyt and he was a fighter but was held back by his teammates, coaches.

it’s wild this thread is not doing numbers.

If it's not about NFL/NBA gossip, posters won't care.

This was a great interview, and I applaud Reggie for keeping it real and telling the truth. Its crazy to think that this stuff was just in the 60s. Most of our parents were alive when that happened. Most of our parents went through this stuff. All of our grandparents went through this stuff for sure. And these Repubs. are actively trying to bring alot of this shyt back. And people just want to ignore this shyt on some 'it aint happen to me'. Its sickening.

Vote. Listen to our OGs. We gotta help each other more, cause this shyt is coming back if we dont.

What was edited?

great segment with him. glad they let him get everything out
when i 1st heard it last nite I was like "wow, Fox didnt edit out the n word"

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Glad he spoke up also because too many folks out here act as if Jim Crow was 200+ years ago, when the vast majority of us had parents or grandparents living through it

 

[Nero Christ]

Seeing them comments on twitter shows why his words are important. These evil muthafukkas reproduced and are still trying to bring the same terror. Can't get complacent at all.

 

[Stop_It_5]

Glad Reggie didn't hold back and in general seeing him, Barry and Griffey out there was great




Never seen a table full of so many GOATs

What was edited?

[Marc Spector]

Exactly. I wonder if Big Papi sitting there felt a black kinship hearing that.

"me no black reggie"
