Columnist critical of Dusty Baker's comments I personally do not have issues with what he said, even if they are wrong, they play to somewhat prevailing stereotypes and the report said Baker was chuckling while speaking. But these comments reek of what Jimmy the Greek said in terms of playing up stereotypes and I can't believe this story has gotten so little attention. If a white manager had said it, I can't imagine it not being the lead story with widespread calling for his ouster.

i see nothing wrong with what dusty baker said. but face it america, you can say whatever you want if you are a person of color. if you are white the media goes through your words with a fine tooth comb. the biggest fear (and career ender) of a white coach, manager, or journalist is to be labeled a racist. guarantee you one thing, if a white manager had uttered those "racist" words he would be looking for a job.the emperor is naked..........wake up america !!!
