So that means I have to hear about the tragedy that the MLB is only 6% American black. It's just the national percentage of the black American male population but blacks not being overly represented is a bad thing.

If the MLB is only 6% black then that's insanely good considering how blacks are way overrepresented in basketball and football. I think it's like 70% of players in NFL/NBA are black?
So think of all the 18 year old black dudes who don't drop out of high school, or commit crimes so they're thrown in prison, or shoot each other dead. Guys who avoid all that shit and keep playing to get scouted and get on professional teams. And think about how so many of a black baseball player's cohorts are football or basketball athletes instead. Factor those things, it's FANTASTIC that as high as 6% of players are black in the MLB.
American born black. There's a ton of black Caribbean and Latino players.
I hear baseball is as popular in the Caribbean as it was here in the 50s. I’d love to see baseball become like that again
95% of NBA players are black, they don’t want to address the black privilege that they genetically have a higher chance of becoming professional basketball players because muh oppression or some stupid shit like that
