As the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season starts, I can not help but reflect on the lack of African-American players I see. According, to ESPN.com since 1986, the percentage of African-American players have decreased significantly; it is almost at half (from 19 percent to a little over 8 percent). Therefore, although I am ready for another season of "America's pastime"; I can't help but ask how is it American's pastime when a huge percentage and culture of the U.S is not represented.


Also, now you see why I am so protective of African-American kids in little league (like the Jackie Robison team and Mo'ne Davis).


We need more emphasis on adding different races in baseball.

Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe.
