Let me see if I get this straight Millions of Africans were brought to the U.S as slaves.... Millions of Africans were brought to Latin America as slaves....Both groups come from AFRICA.... yet only the African Americans are Black yet the Latin American Africans cannot be black they are Just Latino. Were you people paying attention is History class or better yet any of you graduated High School? No wonder the Asians are talking over this world our educational system is terrible.

Torii Hunter is talking about African-Americans, as in black people from the United States of America.
apparently you have a reading comprehension problem....what he's saying is that you can't call black/latino's real black people because they aren't "african american"...they don't count...are you intelligent enough to understand what a freaken moron this guy is? Ahh, probably not.

To say that Vlad and Big Papi are black is half true because they have latino blood in them also. Therefore, the are a mixed race of black and latino with latino being their dominant race. On the other hand, Torii is geniunely black and that is why he labeled Vlad and Big Papi as imposters because Vlad and Big Papi are not geniunely black. I think "imposter' has such a negative connotation that it stirred up a little bit of controversy even though it came from a black person. I can't imagine what would happen if a white player said "imposter."

Well if black people in America played soccer wed probably be able to win a world cup. I wish USA could replace that asswipe Oguchi Onyewu who is horrible and a disgrace with ANY black NFL or NBA player.
Ill be a little racist here advocating against Tori Hunter and kinda maybe make a point that african american black people are not that good at hitting a baseball. Here is why:
Baseball season doesn't go up against Football or Basketball it is a spring sport. Not like the guys in the NBA or NFL were Jim Browns and played Lacrosse, inner city black kids play organized baseball. IF a kid can hit and hes a goood enough natural athelete to play D1 football or hoop hes gonna get drafted and have a shot at instant money out of high school. You fucking kidding, you think someone who can run a 4.40 40 and is a great natural hitter is not going to get drafted or get on scouts radars given the fact that in the USA EACH MLB ORGANIZATION EMPLOYS ALMOST AS MANY PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYERS FROM ROOKIE THROUGH THE MAJORS AS ARE IN THE ENTIRE NBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now pro football/hoop is a relatively new thing. Baseball was NOT Jackie Robinson's best sport. If he had been born later hed have stuck to football probably which he was all world at at UCLA so yes, these type of black atheletes don't play baseball. But it is not like the doors to the game are shut to them at all.
So yeah, in the past you had the LeBron James's of the world playing baseball as there wasn't any pro hoop leagues and that has changed, but those types of guys dont cut it in the modern baseball game noone makes it by legging out grounders this day in age.

So, you think it's their blood that gives them their accent? Jesus Christ this is some stupid shit. They are black because their ancestors were descendants of Africa. How do you not understand that? Because they were raised in the D.R., that makes them less black? Thomas Jefferson may have fucked Torii Hunter's ancestors and Vlad and Papi's ancestors may have only procreated with other African descendants...making Vlad and Papi more "black" than the moron that is Torii Hunter. Do you get it now?

Wrong. Go to Panama, Costa Rica, Belize, Guatemala, Cuba, etc.... you'll find them in droves.
Of a total Latin American population of 549,549,000, an estimated 100-150 million[5][6] are Afro Latin-American.[7][8]Approximately 5% of the Latin American population self-identify, or are classified by census takers, as being primarily of black ancestry. A further 16% of the population is mulatto, while Zambos are a smaller minority.
So are you going to tell someone what race tehy are and what they aren't??

14% of Panama is of African descent
3% of Costa Rica is of African descent
31% of Belize is african descent
2% of Guatemala is African descent
35% of Cuba is African descent
As I said before just because someone has dark skin, and may look black to the uninformed, it does not mean they are of african descent. Latinos also can have dark skin.

my problem with hunter is that the MLB is not trying to keep blacks out of baseball, actually its quite the opposite.
the simple fact is that in every major city most kids are playing basketball or football...all you need is a court/field and one basketball/football...when is the last time you have seen any kids playing pick up baseball, anywhere, inner city or suburbs it just doesnt happen.
it seems to me that baseball has fallen behind with this generation of kids who prefer basketball, football, soccer, skateboards, video games, whatever......
