In his prime Roberto could FLY around the bases! Because of Press racism he was denied at least one more MVP.

Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, and Willie Mays all won MVP awards before his era and they were black

[Sam Odom]

Rake, Roberto wasnt the 'good negro' (all darkies were Negroes back then) he was out-spoken on many issues of his time, something a 'good negro' wasnt supposed to do. Did not help him in balloting.

But good people can disagree on this

MLK will have led to the destruction of the United States. Sad but true.

[Sam Odom]

Was MLK Puerto Rican ?

[MilfDriller]

You were lamenting the 'segregation' and 'division' of society.... and I was lamenting the key factor that has led to the dismantling and destruction of the American society.

When Pizarro and the Spaniards penetrated modern Peru they led to the destruction of the Incan empire. In a similar fashion, MLK began the process of wholly introducing those who cannot function in a civilized society... the process continues today.... until there will be nothing left.
