Because the color barrier was put up AFTER that, because of Cap Anson and various other baseball players refusing to play against black players, which was a side effect of all the post-Reconstruction laws coming into place
I originally found this out on r/baseball: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s/7mtUgtJL41
I’ll probably send them an email if I can, because whatever people Elon has working for him are overdoing it for stories like this. The entire reason that the Navajo code talkers were effective to begin with is because they’re a minority, and I really shouldn’t have to explain why Jackie Robinson matters.
Hope these articles get restored, because pretending the past didn’t exist does no good for anyone
Edit: The Navajo code talkers were important for both World Wars, and Jackie Robinson’s character as an honest man is a large part of why he was able to break baseball’s color barrier to begin with.
I intentionally avoid the argument because I do not care to discuss it, but I do very much know the difference between porn and not porn lol.
I'm just saying that everyone should at least be working with the same definitions
Congratulations, you've discovered that federal preemption is stupid. Welcome to the eighties where the rest of us figured that out. It's a violation of the tenth amendment to boot.
I'm assuming you're talking about things like the reason that every state has their drinking age at 21 is because the federal government threatened to pull interstate funding from the states that didn't go along with it. While I absolutely get it, IIRC, the entire reason that MADD and the assorted groups were formed is because high school seniors would drive across state lines to the states where drinking at 18 was legal and then get in wrecks driving drunk coming back home.
If that's propaganda, fair, but if it was real, then I'm stuck on what to do because that is a genuine problem, but federal overreach sucks.
Oh, thought you were talking about them having made a different social media site, not their message boards.
IMO, I’m not sure how this would’ve been avoided with the legalization of porn plus the advent of the internet
“An economic system in which individuals and private parties control the means of production and profits are the key driver of economic activity.” Sound about right but considering everything FDR did, and the opinions here, I’m not going to say you’re necessarily wrong.
How much government intervention is too much? Any at all? If we could trust the people who own corporations to actually not be ruthless dickheads who will exploit every last resource, then maybe zero would be fine, but there’s too many examples of corporations not giving a shit about anything until it fucks either the environment or their employees to the point of lawsuits for me to say that ‘no regulation or intervention at all’ is the right thing.
Inflation is a scam, but IMO, there’s not enough of any resource to back the USD if we were to stop printing money immediately and go to a resource backed currency. Fiat currency is awful, but I’m not sure what we would be backing the USD with
Found this in my sidebar of recommended videos, and decided to watch it because I was curious what he meant by death, and it honestly does a pretty good job of going over how fucked various decisions, such as bailing out the banks in 2008, AI, etc, have done to our economy and society, and leaves me wondering something that comes up a lot in this video:
What is the actual value of money?
Edit: I don’t agree with some of the later examples, ala what he calls Elon, etc, but overall I think the point of the video makes a ton of sense
Yep, they backtracked a few days earlier, which you saw the post for.
Funny thing, if you ever wanna know how astroturfed Reddit is/can be, the most upvoted post in the history of r/NFL is of the original story where it was said that the Eagles were rejecting the White House visit. Got 58k of its 62.9k upvotes with the first 24 hours that story was live.
Second is of the NFL's official Reddit account posting the Cooper DeJean pick six (for those who don't watch American football, it's an interception that gets returned for a touchdown)
Third is from seven years ago, a now taken down for copyright clip of Stefon Diggs catching the game-winning touchdown from the Minneapolis Miracle
Fourth is a clip of Jayden Daniels throwing a last second game winning Hail Mary during week 8 of this past season against the Bears
Fifth is another taken down for copyright clip, this time of the Miracle in Miami
It's why I wish when people saw Gizortnik's name on a comment they wouldn't just insta downvote, because these are the exact people he's talking about; people who are so single-issue about Judaism that they're openly willing to ignore Islam
IIRC not really, but Jackie was specifically chosen to be the one to break the color barrier aka Rosa Parks because he was the best player in the Negro Leagues + a stand up man.
The reason it was specifically the Brooklyn Dodgers is also racially motivated, because ironically that was the club the Triple Parentheses Gang supported in NYC, so the Dodgers’ ownership thought that he’d receive less discrimination on the Dodgers and the players would be more accepting of it
