LATINO "BROTHERS" | 2005-10-26

Before the World Series game, ther was a salute to Latino Legends in Baseball.

It began with a speech about Latin Americans who play baseball "and their brothers in the United States."

I wonder what would happen if a white baseball player referred to "my brothers in Europe?"

He would be crucified by the PC demi-gods.

Well, it seems that everything is falling apart, anyhow. We could not keep the Mexican immigrants out, even if we wanted to.

Imagine the reaction caused by a salute to "White Legends in Baseball."

How about if White ball players broke out singing:

Song of the South your music

weaves a magic spell

Song of the South, I see

the scenes I know so well

Cottonwoods in blossom

over my cabin door

Pale moonlight on a field of white

You bring them back once more

I seem to hear those gentle

voices calling low

Out of the long long ago

This heart of mine is in the heart of Dixie

That's where I belong

Singing a song, a Song of the South.
