Recently, because of the Floyd incident, the issue of racism has become the focus of attention in all walks of life, and no one can stay out of the way in the face of such a politically correct wind. Although the liberation of black slaves in the United States has been almost 200 years ago, blacks are still at the bottom of the whole society, and once there is any wind and grass, the black people will think of the catastrophe they suffered hundreds of years ago, so the Floyd incident can bring such a huge response. It can be said that generations of black people have worked for their human rights, and today I will tell the story of Jackie Robinson, the forerunner of making blacks play equally with whites.
In the first half of the world, American sports had a clear line between white and black, such as baseball before the "Black Sox scandal", the undisputed first sport in the United States, baseball at that time, whites played in major leagues, and blacks could only play in black leagues, all of which began to slowly change with the emergence of a man named Jackie Robinson. All thanks first to the insight of Blanche Ricky, then general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who signed Jackie Robinson in 1945, and Jackie Robinson played in major league games for the Dodgers as a starting baseman on April 15, 1947, the first time a black player was on the major league, and since then, the baseball separated by black and white players has finally been rewritten.
Although Jackie Robinson has successfully stood on the court of the major leagues, the real test has just begun. Fans, opponents, and even teammates have great prejudices against themselves, facing endless humiliation and insults on the field and off the field, and even the malicious fouls of opponents on the court, Robinson has endured, he will only use the stick in his hand to speak, play a single, and respond to his opponent with his own practical actions. Gradually, Robinson used his strength to gain a foothold in major leagues, changed people's stereotypes about black players, and opened the door for black players to enter major league baseball.
In 1972, the Dodgers permanently retired the Number 42 jersey worn by Jackie Robinson, and in 1997, when Jackie Robinson was celebrating his 50th anniversary in Major League Baseball, all major league teams retired their Number 42 jerseys. And on April 15 of each year, the day Jackie Robinson first appeared in major leagues, all major league players wore the number 42 jersey. This is Jackie Robinson, the true legend of the American human rights movement, not only because of his groundbreaking events, but more importantly, because he won respect rather than violence by strength.
Some people may say that the United States did not let Obama become president, why is this still the case? In fact, such a deep-rooted racial stereotype, Obama knows? You know, just like he followed the Chicago Bulls of the NBA, the Chicago Bears of the NFL, the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL, and the Chicago White Sox of mlbs after he took office, but he didn't pay attention to the Chicago Cubs of mlb, the most popular team in Chicago, why? Because the Chicago Bears are in Chicago's wealthy neighborhood, and the Chicago White Sox are in Chicago's slums, the reason for this may only be known to Obama, who grew up in Chicago. So why didn't Obama find a way to change it? It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't, because he can't make America the next South Africa.
Therefore, black people who want to achieve true equality and respect must not rely on only a few sports and entertainment stars, nor can they rely on simple political correctness, and playing iron needs to be their own, and breaking the prejudices of others with their own strength is the best way to do it like Jackie Robinson. Just as community violence and gang fighting in the United States are mostly closely related to black people, it is difficult for white police officers to put aside their prejudices, in the case of Freud, who has been imprisoned for robbery, and it is inevitable that the police will be jealous, and these have been ignored from the beginning, just because he is a black man.
