[True Dough]

ANSWER IT!!!

[dchill]

1. I don't get it. To whom is Cotton speaking?

WE know how he really feels.
THEY know how he really feels.

So... Who?

[True Dough]

2. Maybe the "moderates"

Trying to signal that he's not discriminatory.

[lisa58]

3. Papering the record- it won't work

[Buckeyeblue]

4. That's a great question

I would like the media to ask Cotten this:

1. How would you explain to children why he was the first African-American baseball player when baseball had been going on for 50-60 years?

2. Were owners justified in fielding all white teams up to that point?

5. "What does 'color barrier' mean?"

-- High school graduates from some states sometime in the near future.

6. 75 years ago Tom Cotton

would have stood with the managers, coaches and players who said they wouldn't play on the field with a black player. I'd like to know where his parents stood.

13. I believe that

He was just born in the wrong era and unable to publicly say what is truly on his mind.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Re-inventing his image. Or attempting to...

[BComplex]

15. I agree. He's the nazi that wants to take donald trump's place as president, and turn this country

into nazi/confederate central.

[soldierant]

8. He might also be asked

how Robinson was treated by his teammates. I believe Ken Burns did a show on hm.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

10. Applauding the past progress of minorities

while working to hold back any further progress.

[True Dough]

14. Exactly!

You nailed it.

[RussellCattle]

11. "Hey, Tom. Malcolm X's 100 birthday is in a couple of years. Can we expect to see some sort of.....

.....commemorative message when that comes around. Didn't think so. Yes, I know that Malcolm was a trouble maker and Jackie was one of those 'good Negroes', but fuck you anyway". "Pinhead".

[Marcuse]

12. No doubt Senator Haw-haw would have treated Jackie as least as badly as he did Justice Jackson.

“I’m concerned that someone like you is undeservedly taking a position that rightfully belongs to someone like me.”

[KS Toronado]

16. He wants Judges soft on crime

to help him stay out of jail.

17. I was surprised during the week of the 75th anniversary

no channel with my cable TV provider showed the movie "42",
was looking forward to seeing it again.
