Oh my, genius, do some reading on Africans in South America. Yeah, it's history and they may have skipped over that in your GED education!
What in the living frick are you talking about?
You're clearly out of your depth in a conversation about baseball.
In the context of Major League Baseball, when talking about participation rates, a person from Colombia is not an African American.
Instead of trying to hand out reading assignments, use that energy to instead go frick yourself.

I'm glad to know after you got off the boat, you got a great English education.
And it sounds like not only am I right, but I hit a nerve, didn't I?
You've been exposed.

Any money or aid we send goes directly into the hands of the Castros and the Cuban regime.
Well, the money is being spent currently anyway. Right now it's going to cartels and human traffickers.
But the US doesn't have a trade embargo against the cartels, so I guess that makes it okay to stop this deal.

The "War on Drugs" has done nothing to stop drugs. Indeed, it's made it worse.
Bans on gus have done nothing to stop violent crime, indeed, it's made it worse.
But hey, a ban on Cuba... that's gonna be the first ban that works, by goodness... I mean, it hasn't worked for 50 years but soon, it will!!!!

What are you suggesting with this comment? That the U.S. is trading with the cartels?
The Cuban government IS the cartel...

MLB was putting this deal in place to stop the human trafficking.

No. Currently Cuban players have to find passage to either the Dominican or Mexico and wait a period of time before they can become eligible to sign. To find that passage, they pay drug cartels and promise them a cut of their signing bonus.

Implying that there is some sort of racism when a group almost precisely = it's population percentage is idiocy.
Parsing black people to get the right number to whine about is dishonest.

It’s almost like Obama never existed.
