Wh/Bl Sox


Thinking back on the1977-78 Southside HitMen season, Commiskey Park 81 times through the summer was the Largest Tavern on Earth. Cheering on our favorite Veeck/Hemond cheating, lovable ham sandwiches cast of characters acting like ball players, every spectator left with an alcohol blood level over the blow limit. Every fan was drunk for every pitch the entire season. I attended 52 games that year.

Commiskey Park was on one side of the urban renewal demarcation line called the Dan Ryan Expressway. Walking across the bridge over an Interstate eight lanes wide, one would find themselves in the Robert Taylor Homes complex, since demolished. High-rise public housing stretching for miles on either side, they were occupied by black sharecroppers from the South. I'm sure there were plenty of baseball fans that lived there but they seldom attended. They worked outside, scalping tickets or using the 'watch your car, Mister' gentle extortion scheme.

A recent conversation involving the Great Extortionist, Jesse Jackson, and his black boycott threatening Major League Baseball brought this forward. For a payoff, it sure was an easy endeavor to maintain. Not many black people ever showed up to watch the game. It very well may have to do with disposable cash available but being intimidated by 50,000 drunk white people probably had more to do with it.

Even with the 9-inning state of being en masse, I simply don't recall any harassment of any black folks working there, men or families that were there for baseball entertainment. This is a 46-year memory, and it would be an interesting study of Police reports coming out of the Bridgeport district on game night concerning race relations. Were African Americans beaten up for being black? In this percolating kettle of, supposedly, white hatred was there ever what is described these days as a 'hate crime'? After the game, there was always plenty of mischief and interactions, how many incidents of unbridled White Supremacy violence were there?

There is plenty of racial violence in present day America. Let's be honest about it.

Dumb As Dirt


*************************
Dumb as Dirt - the mindset of the collectivists

... Despotism is not solely the purview of the state. When individuals or groups demonstrate their propensity to use savage force to inflict their world view on others, decent society is at risk. The “Black Lives Matter” thugs who have shown their disregard for civilized acculturation are a prime example of the defective thinking that permeates their shallow and twisted minds. Absent in their pomposity is any moral claim for their warped cause that advocates violence and murder. Genetic traits are supposed to be taboo for discussion, but when certain elements of sociopathic conduct is evident in brutal behavior, sane people have to ask if deplorable cultural norms are not the only factors that breed disturbed motives for initiating a race war.



... The predatory environment that has taken over in urban communities is a direct result of the methodical dismantling of the merchant economy. Substitution of government dependency for all things for survival can only result in a neo-feudal version of the plantation. Just look to the bankruptcy of Detroit and the prospects that Chicago follows soon.

... A persons color is not the issue. The need to speak the King’s English is not the problem. Prejudice towards their race is hardly the barrier it once was. No the unspoken issue why the “Black Lives Matter” hoodlums have emerged as the latest race baiting opportunists is that Black leaders are so timid or fearful to clean up their own house by hiding their heads in irrelevant victimhood.

... Most people relish and even express their pride in being dumb as dirt. While they may not acknowledge those exact words, their conduct and behavior certainly verifies their actual demeanor.
