The truth is even if he was joking the way he is treated is a double standard. If a white manager said that he would of been fired joking or not, Dusty says alot of things I don't like but this is the first time I totally disagree with him. Also look at the Cubs, Lenny Harris and his below .200 average is good enough to start 30 something games at 3rb but Mark Bellhorn who is of the lighter skin color starts off slow and is traded, also both of the Cubs prospects that were sent up Kelton, and Hill both White never got the chance to play, Hill was sent up to play 3rd but guess what Harris got to keep his sot while Hill sat the bench until he was sent back down. So I really believe that this time Dusty has crossed the line with his racist comment.

Well, whites managed to keep ALL black players out of Major League line-ups for about 75 years... maybe Dusty is just doing his part to make up the difference...

WRONG. Actually you couldn't be further from the truth and I would hope you'd get your facts straight before coming on here and posting a remark such as that. Geez, when is the racist junk going to stop...

As reported by ESPN this morning: They spoke with a representative of the American Military who said that blacks in the military die from more "warm weather, heat related" incidents than whites, hispanics etc... THIS IS factual.

If he was white saying this about another race Jesse Jackson would call for his firing.

Well, if the American Military is reporting it-- it must be FACTUAL

From the tone of the interview it sounded like Dusty was joking around-- I don't think it's racist what he was saying, though I do think if he were white saying this there'd be a much larger uproar, but that has to do with the FACTUAL!! racist history of our country towards blacks and the still lingering and rightly so concerns there-in.

This isn't Al Campanis making the blanket statement that blacks can't manage in the big-leagues, this was a poorly drawn, and frankly low-key, generalization about the small physical differences between the races. Big difference. You guys are digging pretty hard to make this worse than it actually is IMO.
