They asked Reggie Jackson a question about overcoming racism in baseball. They expected a candy coated, saccharine answer, but he gave them that raw uncut. 👍🏿

Don't ask the question if you're not ready for the answer. 🤷🏿‍♂️

@mekkaokereke I don't see any good reason why his story couldn't be taught in schools. Yes, it's dark, but there's a lot of lessons about what it means to be a team and the importance of allies. That's on top of showing the strength needed, and challenges faced, by people enduring racism. The idea that we need to paper over history so people don't get uncomfortable is lazy and sad.
