Jackie Is a hero

[junkyarddog47]

Thanks God for people like Jackie Robinson. Dignity with Honor

@RockVoice4Real I realize that Jackie Robinson was a hero, but why is his number 42 retired in the MLB where no one can wear it... I can understand why the dodgers would but its a little ridiculous how the rest of the 29 teams in major league baseball have to have the number 42 retired.

Yeah i have to do a report on him and i couldnt find anything better so thnx for the video

Wow i would do anything to have the strength of this man! When i was younger i started reading the kinds of things whites say about us (on sites like youtube, for example). Before that i had no idea that they still called us monkeys, lazy, stupid, etc. I was completely heartbroken. To think that a man went through that x1000 and still kept his confidence, and his dignity is unimaginable to me! When i think my life is getting hard and that the world isnt fair, i remember him. Heres to Jackie.

@sciontcdude i still think he was safe

[sciontcdude]

@200damary u should do some research before spitting out nonsense branch did a hell of a lot more to get the first black player to play ..y is it even jackie robinson himself say that branch rickey had a harder job than him and that he deserves just as much respect JACKIE ROBINSON himself said that branch rickeys life was threatened as well...not as much as jackie granted

[200damary]

@sciontcdude Rickey didnt do anything but sign him,jackie was the one who could have been killed by whites so you have no point!

[sciontcdude]

@200damary if white people back in the 60s said what you said...why help blacks? they have nothing to do with me....then we would still have segregation and full blown racism..but it ended because BLACKS AND WHITES worked together....my whole argument with you is trying to get you to give love and respect for ANYONE involved with getting the positive changes done...its easy for me to say "jackie robinson was a great man" y is it hard for you to say "branch rickey was a great man"

[200damary]

@sciontcdude Not racist, just wanna help my black people by look at all black history and thing. why help whites ?They have nothing to do with me. just sayin.

[sciontcdude]

@sciontcdude one last comment and i wont argue anymore but please broaden your views its good to give mr robinson a lot of credit for what he was able to endure he was a great man but also give credit to branch rickey ...hell even mr robinson had only nice things to say bout branch /watch?v=9LaRkuU-YjM&feature=r­elated 5:35

@200damary and when all you think about is black people being opressed and how bad white men are ..and having a black female cartoon character on your youtube and favoriting all videos that have to do with black people...........it makes one wonder do you like things only because it has to do with your black history?........if you like things because its part of black culture then YOU ARE RACIST ..ur not different than a white supremicist who likes only things to do with white people
