Willie Mays faced discrimination when he arrived in S.F.

[@flame-sky7148]

Thank you for the story, it happened and it's history. Remember Mays had just served the country during the Korean Conflict in 52-53, but then he faces home discrimination. He played through it.

[@louisrasky8143]

He was also banned from the Olympic Club, which banned blacks and Jews. Quentin Kopp and he joined Lake Merced and eventually they got into the Olympic Club

[@GregLucas-pv8nm]

Jews ain't banned nowhere. Jews ain't persecuted in America. If jews were in danger in America why did only Black towns gets destroyed. You can't name noooooo Jewish Town or buildings that America destroyed, not one

[@chizzymomentum1807]

And still we have no black bill, or rights or even reparations!!!! No one has faced discrimination like the African Americans in America history!!!!

[@californianorma876]

Good story. It's San Francisco history and it is important to know what happened. When I was three or four years old, he hosted a party for the neighborhood kids. I'll never forget my mom was shocked ...that he was serving fruit punch and had white rugs. 😮 1963 or 64. We moved from that neighborhood to a bigger house, near San Francisco State College. The first black families had just moved in and white flight was occurring. So this is a very real part of history. 🙏🏽

Now good luck any body try to buy a house in SF

Guess what, SF is still a segregated city.

Yes. The homeless and the un-homeless...

He couldn't go to some casinos in Las Vegas in 1958 and almost got kick out of one of them

These are the extra burdens Blk ball players had to deal with. Also why Russell Westbrook has no tolerance for fans calling him “Boy”.

Leave it to MSM KPIX to keep stoking the flames of raciism !

[@theWZZA]

It's a good thing to remember history, so we don't repeat our mistakes.

[@flame-sky7148]

it's good to remember the good things in history and also the bad, so that we can learn from the past. As america loves the inventions of the airplane or lightbulb, and claim those things within themselves, but when it's negative things, they don't want to claim them.

[@williamcarter9066]

@charlestodd5685 U mean leave up to DONNY the convicted felon and the no outreach in to black people in a black church filled with white MAGA followers yes it is racism that he's never stopped !!

[@ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

People who say “stoking the flames of racism” never suffered from terrorist acts of racism and want to bury American history.

[@faithenichols6947]

Racism is still alive and well. The truth won't hurt anyone it hasn't already hurt.

Gotta use the victim card always

You're saying Willie Mays didn't face prejudice in San Francisco?

[@middleguy1776]

@@7beachbum everyone at some point has faced racism in their lives. Why are we constantly spotlighting it? Especially if we want it gone?

I have more respect for Harvey than Willie 🏳️‍🌈

[@analogboi]

it is possible to respect both.

[@ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

Learning to respect anyone without ever speaking with them directly is an ignorant internal human flaw.
