What's the deal with blacks trying to claim or force blackness on other nations/cultures? Is it because you have no culture of your own to be proud of so you attempt to hijack others?

Dominicans aren't black.

Dominicans can be all white, all black, or all native. 90% of Dominicans are a mixture of those three. I am all three.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

What are you talking about? Jack Flaherty identifies as black

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Really, I cant believe this was not posted yet, lol.

6.2%
A recent study from the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida found Black U.S. players represented just 6.2% of all players on MLB opening day rosters in 2023, down from 7.2% last year

Blacks dominated the 1990's. Ken Griffey, Barry Bonds, Tony Gwynn, Albert Belle, Frank Thomas, Kenny Lofton, David Justice, Fred McGriff, Kirby Pucket. Not many great pitchers though. I think towards the end of the 90's there were two things happening: Latin Americans started entering MLB and basketball/NBA started getting more popular with inner city kids. Those two things started to decrease the number of blacks in the MLB.

Dave Stewart was great late 80s to early 90s.

A big factor is that baseball became a lot less popular with blacks. Baseball was still the biggest American sport in the '70s. Since then it's become seen as a boring, uncool sport. It's become less popular with whites too, but with blacks the decline seems to have been larger.
