Forcing people to be separate is racist, you can live in a all white community now, but you can't force someone who isnt white from living where ever they want, even if they want to live in your whites only community.

My liberal idiot friend told me that Major League Baseball was racist because only 7 percent of the players are black African American. I then asked him why there are alot of dark skinned Hispanics in Major League Baseball and he started stuttering like a little schoolgirl that has just seen Justin Bieber!

Exactly. Why not a movie about him? A real hero and great baseball player

You sure whine a lot....still haven't pointed out what's so racist about saying JR doesn't deserve the hero worship he is getting.Why not do a movie about Hank Aaron? He broke Ruth's home run record and was a much better player than JR...the only reason JR gets a movie and worshiped is bc he was the first black in white baseball...its sad and disgusting a great player like Hank Aaron is thrown on the trash heap and forgotten about while a mediocre player is praised.

Blacks were excluded from playing in the baseball league considered the best. Biggest crowds, best stadiums, and certainly the best pay. It was blatant segregation based on racism. There is everything wrong with it.

I haven't seen the movie. But I understand the story and see nothing wrong with a movie made about it. It won't make me feel guilty because I had nothing to do with it. But perhaps it makes you feel guilty since you seem to think excluding people like JR is a perfectly OK thing to do.

I hope the movie is historically accurate and doesn't exaggerate or overly dramatize the story.

Racism still exists but is nothing like it was at time of JR. Nor is it a root cause problem for minorities as claimed by attention-seekers like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.

As much as this might shock you, I'm fairly certain based upon past comments that poster is black.

Separatists aren't just white. (points to the south side of Chicago where you know who has a lot presence...)

Show me where I said FORCE? I never did. I said its not right to FORCE people to live together.So by your logic you are the racist here not me. You are for forcing people to live together and associate together that otherwise might not do so.Its called free association...you want forced association...and you try and claim I am being the racist...what a crock.

It doesn't fit his agenda...he is on the verge of being put on ignore...in his mind he is right everyone else is a racist for not worshiping a mediocre player when there were much better black players to see as hero's.

Separate but Equal was a law that forced separation, do you support that kind of state or federal law?

Nope. You think we should worship a mediocre player. Hank Aaron is worthy of a movie and books and things like that JR is not.

I don't care about this movie, I'd rather see hidden colors 1 and 2 hit the big screen then see these type of movies that level blacks in insecurity.

These type if movie aren't for blacks but for whites to gather sympathy towards blacks.

More Hollywood bs.
