jasonderoga86Josh Gibson has been declared the TRUE greatest hitter in all of MLB history as the MLB has included the Negro Leagues in the record book. Gibson is the rightful champion of not one but TWO records it seems. Babe Ruth is now second greatest. Wow.
I was never really into baseball, but news like this does make me happy and optimistic. This further proves the significance that Blacks in America have in making it what it is today. Even with all the crap Republicans are pulling to discredit the Black heroes/heroines and trailblazers of the past, it's still literally impossible to fully write out all of our ancestors' accomplished.
Let's face it, America has been impressed and wowed over and over by the accomplishments of not only Blacks, but all races, genders, and orientations. Many of these accomplishments are things that nobody in the Republican Party could even dream of doing. These stars are what make America great. Not whiny little prats who believe that they alone are the be-all and end-all of all living things and are entitled to unwavering worship and loyalty.
These facts can't, and never will be, erased from American history. It just makes it more and more clear that those who sought to overthrow the government were people of little to no significance -- just like their "president" -- and who TRULY hate America. They're stuck in the past, still seeing Jim Crow as the law of the land, that a White Jesus means all power in the country resides solely in the hands of arrogant White men with a fancy for dominating their wives/girlfriends.
You can't cover up, hide, or erase the best aspects of humanity and those who represent them.
