The Jackie Robinson Story trailer - Legend Films

Jackie Robinson Was a hero! 

[hulkyone]

The original film was in black and white, not color. In the film, there was also an inaccurate portrayal of what happened when the team petitioned Jackie's removal. Leo Durocher actually was the main one who confronted the players and threatened to trade them if they didn't accept Jackie as their teammate. Durocher, who was known for his outspoken sailor mouth, also cursed when he stood up for Jackie, something that the Hays Code would've never allowed to be shown.

Pee Wee is the only white that likes Jackie.Poor Jackie

Rickey knew that Robinson would face great racism, and said he was looking for a black "with the courage not to fight back" Robinson got racial slurs hurled at him, and "Dodgers teammate Pee Wee Reese once came to Robinson's defense with the famous line, "You can hate a man for many reasons. Color is not one of them." All blacks face racism in America --decent ones or not.

Jackie Robinson and Barack Obama

[hulkyone]

@Paulwhoisvegan Obama is no Jackie Robinson, and this is coming from a strong-hearted Democrat who feels he cheated us with his exaggerated and misleading "change" message. All he has been doing basically from the beginning of his term is try to please Republicans with obvious hopes of breaking Lyndon Johnson's popular vote record in the 2012 election; at the start of his term in 2009, he gave us huge tax cuts and also would have a Ronald Reagan statue unveiled in the Capital Rotunda

[hulkyone]

@hulkyone Sorry, I made a typo. I should have spelled it Capitol; it was a case of writer's block. Jackie had to suffer through a lot of racial slurs from the sidelines and discontent from his own teammates when first started playing. Obama, however, is a filthy deal-maker who has cared more about putting feathers in his cap than for helping the American public. He could've first focused on creating jobs and waited until this year to push for universal health care.

jackie robinson...a class act gentleman, many of our black athletes have forgotten about this man as it is all about the individual now.

[mdthomas1221]

[earvase]

@mdthomas1221 I find this DVD at the Dollar Store years ago. And you can get it on for like $3.50. It is a great movie to have.

[baksug]

You kidding me? This is the most patronizing and trivializing description of the racial problem I've ever seen. This is only interesting if you want to understand how these problems were stowed away and forgot about.

[JJHusker]

Looks like a great movie. Someone should post it

[texrea21]
