Jesse Jackson criticized Major League Baseball on Thursday for sending investigators to the hometowns of umpires to ask neighbors questions that include whether the ump belongs to the Ku Klux Klan.

"Major League Baseball has done a disservice to its progressive social history by equating southern whites with white supremacists," Jackson said in a statement. "I am surprised the professional league which helped change social attitudes in all sports leagues about segregation, by championing Jackie Robinson, would make such a destructive move."

I thought he hated all white people. What do I know?

Jackson will be doing this shit till the day he dies and the media will continue trying to make money off of him. All of the stories with him in the spotlight are worthless garbage despite their accuracies.
