New movie about Jackie Robinson will be coming out soon. I wonder if hollywood will show how Christianity desegregated baseball. How Robinson used the Sermon on the Mount as a way to deal with the racisim in the majors. I wonder if they will document his conservatism. If so it will make people's head spin.http://socrates58.blogspot.com/2007/04/jackie-robinson-and-branch-rickey.html 4951

Jackie Robinson is one of my very, very favorite people. I am glad they are making a movie about him. I just hope they get the input from his wife and family. They will have the best take on his life. That is an interesting take on the role his political views played in the whole thing. I do have to say that conservatism does not have a good reputation when it comes to race relations.  4951

Conservatism and Christianity played a helpful role. From abolishing the slave trade, abolisionists, Civil Rights leaders (Rosa Parks-Very Christian) and how it was the church that led the civil rights movements not NE Liberals. 4951

Yea, why don't they just ignore the masses of Christians that were for segregation and Jim Crow and instead focus on how Jackie Robinson fought them with their own oppressive belief systems. 4951

OR talk about a secular government allowed segregation, slavery. Maybe someone can make a movie about the athiest that freed the slaves, sat at the wrong section of the bus or diner, read a stirring speech in Washington. Wait they can't because it never happened. 4951

@TexINS:
 
Hey, how did you get to be the pied pipper for idiots.
 
Somehow you always manage to bring them out.
 
Can you lead them to the back of Kingwood and play or say something that would take them into the lake so they can all drown?
 
Or at least take them to the bus station.
 
If you call me before you round them up, I'll be happy to disguise the bus, and place Obama stickers all over it. 4951

@TexINS: I thought it was the secular government that got rid of slavery. For comparison this was the other government,
"[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts." Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America. 1,2
