A Well-paid Slave Is Nonetheless

I Lost Money, Coaching Jobs, A Shot At The Hall Of Fame.

If You Destroyed The Underpinnings Of This Great American Sport, You Are A Hated, Ugly, Detestable Person.

I Was Told By The General Manager That A White Player Had Received A Higher Raise Than Me. Because White People Required More Money To Live Than Black People. That Is Why I Wasn't Going To Get A Raise.

And I'd Be Lying If I Told You That As A Black Man In Baseball I Hadn't Gone Through Worse Times Than My Teammates.

I Am Pleased That God Made My Skin Black - But I Wish He Had Made It Thicker.
