The latest racism from establishment media revolves around the World Series, with the Associated Press whining that there will be no U.S.-born black athletes on the rosters of the Houston Astros or the Philadelphia Phillies. AP’s Ben Walker handed his piece over to activists who decided that black children were being prevented from playing baseball (with no evidence to support the claim) or that somehow baseball needs “progress” because the sport can only be allowed to be good if it hits certain racial quotas.

The piece even approvingly cites Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts claiming that “we need more black people at the stadium” because black people must be forced to like baseball and pay money to attend games to make skin color-obsessed athletes like Betts happy.
Of course, it does not matter to Walker or the Associated Press that there are black players on both rosters, because those players are also Hispanic. Liberals like Walker who assign American racial categories to everything do not consider black Hispanics to be black at all. We know this because NBC’s racist NBC BLK section complained about the skin color of World Series lineups last year, dismissing all black Hispanic players as “Latin.”
Walker goes even further than that, noting that “Afro Latino players embrace black identity,” just not “for the same reasons” as black American players. In other words, they aren’t black enough to count.
It does not matter that young black athletes are choosing other sports over baseball, so long as they are not actively being pushed away from the sport through discrimination. Nearly 60% of NFL players are black, as are 74% of basketball players. It is not a problem that there are no black American players in the World Series, just as it did not matter that there was only one white American player in the NBA Finals earlier this year.

What the Associated Press and its activists are peddling here, just as NBC BLK did last year, is racism. It is a demand that viewers take note of the skin color of every single player and declare that there are too many players with one skin color or another or too many players that come from one country and not another. It is another step in their efforts to push their toxic racial obsession on every facet of your life, so that the first thing you think of in any form of entertainment or any human interaction is skin color.
