Separate but Equal was a law that forced separation, do you support that kind of state or federal law?
I don't support any law for or against keeping people together or separate. They should be allowed to do as they please. If someone buys 100 acres and decides he only wants blacks on the land then he should be allowed to same thing if he only wants whites,hispanics,jews etc etc...
Jackie Robinson isnt even in the top 10 black baseball players of all time based on accomplishment on the field. Id rather see a movie about Willie Mays or Hank Aaron. Far better players!
My status is true no matter what ya think. He wasn't a great player he was merely the first black in white baseball...there were other black players MUCH better than him.
When they were looking for the first black to sign with the white leagues they were not looking specifically for the most talented player. It would have been too easy to find Negro league players who would have embarrassed his white opponents. Although JR's talent belonged in the white leagues, it was his personality and dignity they wanted to show case. The first African American to sign an NBA contract never even played but he was hand picked to be the example of the kind of players who would follow him.

You are silly, so you support the freedom we have now where anyone can live anywhere they want, and no one is forcing you to have a black person live on your private property.
More propaganda I won't waste my money on. If he had been a white player you wouldn't even know who JR is.
I would expect you to say something like that. The only reason someone would say something like that is because they consider any accomplishments by Blacks to be meaningless.

That is because he only had about 9 years in the majors, vs 20+ years for Mays and Aaron. This is about someone being a pioneer, someone bringing in a new era where there would be no place for barring Blacks from Major League Baseball. It is about a historical accomplishment.

Try running a business and not allowing whites or blacks in...see what happens...that's my private property as well if I own it.

Um, holy missing the point Batman!
Why did they make the movie "Rudy"? Invincible?
