re: MLB needs more Black managers. Here's why it won't be me right now

s a black person, I love hearing the “black man in America” myth from a guy who: went to an Ivy League school, played baseball for a living and made millions and still gets paid way more than the average middle class American worker to talk about it on TV. Doug Glanville is the epitome of a privileged person if there ever was one.

I’ve never walked in your shoes, or his. But after reading what you said and what he said, this one thing which really strikes me-

As you mentioned, Granville is a pretty privileged guy, Ivy League, baseball, Nice house, lives in a good neighborhood, has a good job…

Yes despite all that, there are still a significant number of people in this world two are going to see him and think “there’s a n&&&&& Shoveling snow”

Like I said, I’m not in your shoes or his, but I try to be empathetic to people even if I can’t fully understand their experience. As far as that one incident goes, I don’t see his perspective being unreasonable.
