Site Meter Ogre's Politics & Views: Gary Sheffield on Race

Gary Sheffield says that Joe Torre (Yankees manager) is a racist. Well, actually he says that Torre is NOT a racist, but he judges people by their skin color. But he's not racist. I think someone needs to buy Gary either a dictionary or a muzzle -- or both.

This, however, is the lunacy brought about by today's PC world. You see, any word can mean anything you want it to -- otherwise someone might be offended. And if you're black, you can say anything about anyone without any consequences -- unless you complain about black people (like Bill Cosby).

I think Sheffield is just being very, very petty and is mad that the Yankees traded him last year. I think Torre is really taking the high road and refusing to even comment on the entire interview. Know who the real racist is? Gary Sheffield. Stop whining, Mr. Sheffield. You're being paid a LOT of money TO PLAY A DAMN GAME. Shut and and play.

I'm getting ready to go to a tennis game. I am going to take 3 balls with me to play tennis. I look in a box and find there are 5 balls there -- three are green and two are black. I select all 3 green balls and do not even consider taking the black balls with me to my game. Does that make me racist? According to Sheffield (and way too many others), I treat blacks and white differently and am or am not a racist because of my selections. What a moron.

The two black balls were bowling balls.
