You began correctly by telling what happened 25 years ago in MLB. They began building baseball "universities" for every team in the league in Latin America for the purposes of recruiting and training CHEAP labor for the farm systems. You can still find interviews from prominent ballplayers like Gary Sheffield , who covered this issue decades ago, about the decline of homegrown black MlB talent. Many of the families of the immigrant talent complained about how they were entertainment slaves for a green card. Black Americans dont have that problem. They also tried to float propaganda about black ballplayers having "attitudes" which usually meant , "These uppity nggahs won't play for slave wages". The fact that the league is dominated by Latinos was not an ORGANIC process. MLB ratings have dropped significantly as the attraction was always for the black American Freedmen ballplayers that along with their immense talents, brought charisma and swag. Notice what happens to entertainment products as these industries try to replace Black American Freedmen talent with black-looking immigrant imports. Perfect examples are the decline in HipHop as white-owned recording companies opted for degeneracy with immigrant performers over Freedmen. And now the NBA ratings are tanking as it is tries to convince viewers that they'd rather see gawky Euros like Giannis, Jokic and Doncic as its "best" players.

Only if we can have that unity of sticking together like my grandmothers and grandfathers had in their era. Everybody looked out for each other

Older White Man here : The former slaves got it right but subsequent generations bought into the garbage peddled by LBJ and the left wing Marxists

Its not just Black American players that are disappearing. So to are American born Latin players. Its just not highlighted because Latin players from all countries are usually lumped together. Only 6% of MLB players are American born Latin players that's the same percentage as Black American MLB players at 6%. The reason IMO is MLB teams prefer to sign foreign born players of color. Because they tend to be cheaper to sign, and can be signed at younger ages. They are also easier to scout in places like the DR where every MLB has a baseball Academy where they can control and groom players.

Baseball isn't publicly supported at a young age and can be a very expensive sports as far as equipment, playing areas and the traveling that is involved. Tons of basketball courts and all you need is one ball to play either football or basketball. Hell I remember Alyssa Milano doing a go fund me for her son's baseball team.

No more investments in the African American community, those funds are with Latin America now

Things like this generally have multiple causes. 1. An athlete can make the big money faster in sports like football and basketball. 2. Baseball is a game that guys usually learn from their fathers. However, 70% of black babies are born to unwed mothers, so there’s nobody in the home to teach them. 3. Analytics determine that things like stolen bases should not be highly valued, so players with speed are not as highly sought after. This means that speedsters of the past, like Vince Coleman and Willie McGee, would not be as highly rated today.

black owned = low quality

Blacks started viewing baseball as the white man's game and chose football and basketball instead.

what a cop out..

Black Americans go for the NBA and the NFL.....MLB is into Latinos and Asians. Even the NHL which has a history of white players is having more Black Americans every year.

Elitist sport you need visit Dominican Republic my friend and the difference is people in USA practice the sport for entertaiming,in latinoamerican is more than that.

It's sad that the younger folks didn't know this or experienced this...

Females are to be seen not heard especially about sports

The same thing that happened to us in every aspect of American society. We trained our replacements.

why aren't you asking about lack of white nfl and nba players? oh bc you want to spin the victim narrative. black americans are actually represented proportionally relative to the population among US born players.

They got knocked out by Jose Ramirez. ""Down goes Anderson!! Down goes Anderson!!""

♥️🖤💚 thank you

Joe Morgan covered this topic during one of the World Series back in the 90's stating, that "the removal of baseball fields" in lower socio-economically developed areas with the advent of expensive traveling teams, black kids couldn't afford to play what WAS a relatively cheap sport to play. Then add in Football and Basketball remaining "free" as it were, then the numbers exploded because the black kids went where the money wasn't (that is to play). And lastly, a cheap built-in farm system in the Dominican Republic that points almost all of its talent to the sport, and for MLB, a match custom-made for funneling all of the black players you need from a poor underdeveloped nation. As for "black" player fulfillment... problem solved. After all would baseball at the professional ranks be worth watching without the "black" players? I digress. Great Scott

As a teacher and middle school baseball coach for 12 years I’ve tried desperately to recruit African American young men to no avail. I believe the problem is generational, as baseball is a very slow sport of anticipation and is simply too slow for kids nowadays. Secondarily I shall be purchasing some HBCU gear. NC!-CU! EAGLE PRIDE! AMPLIFIED!

Great content. The way you were able to present this in such an abbreviated form. No excuse for this not to be taught in the US public schools social studies or American history classes. Keep up the good work work.

The christian Europeans, not the Americans were the slave owners. The British, spaniards and the french brought the slaves to the new land. America declared independence in 1776 but did not become a country until 1783 after winning the war against the British who owned and controlled the British colonies for 291 years. The Americans then freed the slaves in 1863 just 80 years after becoming a country under American rule. It was the British, and other European countries that enslaved black people, murdered them, mutilated them, r@ped them sold and bought them.

BLACK AMERICANS YOUR ONNNNNN YOUR OWNNNNNN POINT BLANK...STOPPPPP INVITING OTHER RACES TO THE COOKOUT START BUYING BLACK POINT BLANK

The answer to this question is too simple. If you're a stone cold basketball player, you can go from high school directly to the NBA and become an instant millionaire. If you're a great football player, you must spend 3 years in college and you'll get NIL money which could be in the millions. Even if you're pretty good at baseball, you'll spend years in the minor leagues playing for peanuts. I think the choice is obvious.

The bigger, more important question is "what's happened to black Americans?"

Not just MLB not getting involved, it’s becoming an elitist sport. It’s getting harder to find rec teams for kids because of clubs and travel ball. On top of that, it’s expensive to play. You need: glove, bat, balls, decent area to play, and typically at least 15 or so players to have a decent game. Football, basketball, and soccer require one ball for everyone. Most areas will typically have fields for soccer/football as well as basketball courts. I love baseball, but until they quit feeling like there’s nothing to fix (executives and fans), it’s gonna be hard to get kids into it. Trevor Bauer made a great case when he was talking about how players like LeBron are accessible to fans, making them feel like they know him better (almost on a personal level). Baseball players tend to be more private, most seem to not want attention. They need to not only invest more but need to connect to the kids like other sports.

My prayer and hope is that we all become under one accord. We have to stick together especially now❤

Just came across your channel. Great content! Thank you!

❤❤❤❤❤

Well it's technically not gone. We have dei now and if it's not based on merits and ability then it's worse than affirmative action. I know it was put in place because people wouldn't hire blacks. Even if they were qualified...

Rich blacks don't give a damn and hate poor blacks just like racists

Excellent post. It is what it is. There are obstacles but you have to overcome every single one.

Great video. Keep it up.

If slavery generated so much wealth for America then explain why the Northern states had more wealth than the Southern states without practicing slavery? Why Brazil and other countries in Caribbean are not wealthy? Canada, Australia, Norway, Germany etc did not have slavery and are very wealthy . Truth is free market economy is what build wealth in America not slavery. According to your logic , Brazil should be the richest country on the planet, because they imported more slaves than any other country

Africa

Now ro base government assistance based on each demographics NET tax revenue... 😂😂😂😅😂😅😅😂. You know YT men can recieve assistance based on total NET tax revenue recieved from YTmen. (YT mem pay about 60% of NET tax revenue... BW pay about -7%😅😂😅😂😅😂)

It could be you simply moved from chattel slavery to wage slavery. The master-slave Capitalist system.

I don't think thats slavery but ive heard the private prison out n California r owned by the people that own the record labels that push rap music while they pay someone to convince his people to do things to lead them to those prisons. Idk if this is true

Excellent! Well.....we haven't come very far at all. Negligible progress at best. Yes we must remove garbage caveats and clauses from all our legislation. I'm white and am 73, but I am beset with utter rage over this abomination of a country (and world, really). Circumstance Of Birth is N. O. T. a valid measure of ANY element of anyone! Plain and simple. End of story! Who someone is and what they do to others counts----NOT what someone is!

The results have proven we didn’t need affirmative action anymore. The rate of blacks in school has changed very little

Here's a sobering fact: the prison population of Africa is 1.4 million people with a population of 1.3 billion, the prison population of the US is 1.2 million with a population of 347 million.........nuff said

Correction, Affirnative Action FORCED workplaces to meet "Racial" quotas. Which in FACT, DID inevitably lead to hiring under qualified individuals based solely on skin tone. The idea that AA benefited Any "white" person is also false, proven quite simply, by its very use. AA also violates the Civil Rights Act by Discriminating/Favoring one race over another. ON TOP OF THAT! The idea that Black people were kept behind or were not allowed to succeed, being presented by a BLACK MAN that managed to be appointed to a Prominent Position by a Sitting President, pretty much spits in the face of the whole need for AA in the first place. There were MANY well respected, successful and important Black People in History that succeeded despite the obstacles placed in their way. Which makes their accomplishes all the more impreasive. Adversity breeds Strength and an indomitable spirit to those who fight through it. Instead of complaining about perceived past and current "oppressions"..... Overcome and flourish.

Saying that Haiti defeating France shook France enough for it to give up on America is like saying that the US defeating Britian made it give up on America. (Except the prior is even more ridiculous) There was other stuff going on lol. By the same stretch, you could say that France was only successful in the Napoleonic wars because America defeated a British army in north america 😂

How does one "fix" getting in trouble for breaking the law?

First

USA--now the FSA (Fascist States of Amerikkka) has always been & still is the world's most corrupt & biggest 💩🕳country in the world. It's still a slave-holding nation, & the constitution still legalizes it in every state & colonial territory of Amerikkka. USA has never been "the land of the free & the home of the brave" but "the land of the enslaved & home of the white".

Irish, Baltic, Slavic, Italian 4th generation north East American here wondering why nobody else who had slave ancestors are talking about the cyclical effects repeating in ways consistent to no matter what you do to work through it, being at least a quarter short of effective, complete, enough, sustainable, paid up, or mention of notion. Dress sewn and fabric ends unmet, frayed. So not free,. Under the thumb and at the mercy of those who fill the role of handlers. Because that kind of slavery is prison without the cage, and death by exposure or actual prison because people don't believe that kind of thing is happening, so it's a crazy person who is saying it.

This is entirely wrong and you made up connections which don't actually exist. Your entire claim is "napoleon sold Louisiana territory to the US because they lost to Haiti, US became superpower it is today as a result". This is entirely untrue. Even if it was not sold to the US, it would have become US territory within a few years of our own timeline, Americans were swarming the area for settlement and the French never actually really cared too much about their North American possessions outside of Quebec. You are a history revisionist doing so with racial bias, disappointing.

Affirmative action was meant to right wrongs committed by Whites against people during Jim Crow. It was not for everyone. It was not for Hispanics, gays, lesbians, White women, etc. However, Black people NEVER objected when White women and Hispanics, etc were added. As a result what should have been a program to repair the wrongs against Black people became diluted. And especially Black men got the least benefits from affirmative action. White women hijacked civil rights and now the LBGTQ community is hijacking it again

I'm sorry, but this feels like a total stretch to me. America was going to go West no matter if we bought Louisiana from the French or not. Just look at how we obtained Texas, California and the rest of the Southwestern USA from Mexico. Same could've happened with France too
