But I did. You suggested that wearing #42 was a celebration of ignorance and I countered that it was celebrating someone breaking through that ignorance. There is a difference.
That was a very minor part of my argument. I am more concerned with the way it divides people as to say, they don't want to lose their identity as black americans, but they do want to lost it in some ways. Its complicated, and I think things like JR day hurt the cause. I also agree with those who mentioned Larry Doby.
