Al Campanis of Dodgers was also canned for similar "insensitive" comment. However, I think they were happy to dump him and this was their excuse.

BTJ You are more right then wrong on this one. And then those who run for office chace those votes like grazy. Some even go to Africa to make it look good. I dont understand why so many folks worry what JJ has to say. He is a over the hill loser. Most blacks dont pay attention to him. And JJ can say just about anything he wants. And he get's away with it. Bring back Jimmy the Greek or did he die.

This double standard is ridiculous. Dusty had a chance to retract his statements the next day but he chose not to. "How many bruthas do you see in the U-P (upper Peninsula for you non-Midwesterners)?

As I recall, Jimmy the Greek was actually praising the African-American athletes. And I believe Campanis never got a job again in baseball.

On the local sports talk radio show here in Chicago, the hosts grilled Chip Caray about Baker's comments. But like a typical Tribune yes-man, he quickly changed the subject and declined to talk about the comments.

Come to think of it, I much prefer the heat to the cold....maybe I'm really black and don't even know it.

Dusty Baker is speaking the truth.

Not just ancestors but us here today.

YYZ and the "North of the border posse" you guys would hate a full summer of 90 degree (f) and above temps just as much as I would hate a really cold winter. We are all accustomed to the weather we live in. This is not rocket science.

Lets get over the PC Police and move on.

I live in the upper Midwest and I have no problem w/a summer full of 90 degree days. Beats the hell out of a winter with 10 degree days.

I'll be in Vegas tomorrow and its going to be 113 degrees. I think I'll try to call Dusty to see how I should handle the heat.

Let's face it ... as someone said above in this thread somewhere ... it's definitely the old double standard. Personally, I don't mind what Dusty said but it does suck that a white manager would be banished for such comments. Stereotypes may suck but for the most part, they are stereotypes for legitimate reasons. Many Puerto Ricans come to the United States to deal drugs and not have to work at a legitimate job, ... they collect welfare, breed like cockroaches and for the most part have no respect for this country. Running around with the Puerto Rican flags. Now, this is not all latinos or puerto ricans but enough of them that the stereotypes persists. Black folks generally are better at basketball, track and field, etc... cause they are more athletically inclined for those sports ... I don't care if people say it's racist, it's TRUE!

Anyway, the point is ... I am getting tired of the double standard ... and I'll say what I think and not give a rats ass what people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson think cause they are a big part of the problem these days. I am not a racist ... I have many minority friends who I discuss these things with all the time. They are not like the stereotypes and they agree that their racial stereotypes for the most part are perpetuated by the majority.

Lastly, this is America ... speak English ... I am tired on catering to non-English speaking minorities ... my ancestors learned English or struggled because they did not start demanding everything to be printed in their native language. If you don't like it, get the FAWK out of this country!
