Derek Jeter getting death threats for dating outside his race

[Catherine Vincent]

The problem is, he is bi-racial so he's not tied to any one race. Idiots!

1. yeah, no kidding

what race would that be exactly?

[FreedomAngel82]

3. Ugh

How disgusting and immature. And people like to think racism isn't still strong in this country? Another perfect example. How sad for him. :( I hope he can get some justice about this with the person he is dating and I hope they stay safe. I'm personally not a Jeter fan (I really adore Chipper Jones of Atlanta Braves) but this is just simply disgusting and immature. *sigh* Poor guy!

9. sorry, didn't mean anything by it

I don't really give a rat's ass what race he is to be perfectly honest. He seems like a good enough guy to me even if he is a Yankee.

2. That's sad.

People are still getting death threats for dating outside their own race? I thought we were past that already?

[Catherine Vincent]

5. I wonder if this is a woman jilted by him.

I think I would do anything to get this guy back.

8. It's 1960 all over again!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

4. I saw that interview with him on 60 Minutes...

And as you can tell from my siggy, DJ is my baby's daddy :D

It doesn't suprise me at all to hear that he's been getting shit. Racism still exists- even if you're the king of NYC.

6. Maybe it was for dating outside his sport n/t

[MalibuChloe]

7. he dated mariah carey, who's also biracial...

so who is he dating now? must be a white girl, since anyone who would send death threats for such a thing would almost have to be a member of the KKK. :puke:

[Catherine Vincent]

10. We shouldn't jump to conclusions.

It could be from someone that is african american. You never know these days.

[put out]

11. To paraphase the great Bullworth,

We just all need to mate until we are all the same color.

Really, who is worried about all that? All of us are better to shake things up a bit.

12. The letter said "traitor to his race"

The question is, WHICH one? I'm assuming he's considered black if you have to pick a race, so from the wording, it could be black pride gone awry. Would a white person care if he's being a race traitor to the black race? Or are they just confuzzled? Odd.

[Qibing Zero]

13. That's sad

There are a million actual criticisms you could make of the man - why choose one that doesn't even make any sense? :D

14. Um, is he dating horses?

Or sheep? The only 'race' there is is the human race.

[KingFlorez]

15. Wonder which freeper did those letters

They seem to have a problem with that sort of thing.

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. What self-respecting woman

would date a :puke: Yankee??

[Catherine Vincent]

18. I think I would do more than just date this guy,

:P

[Penndems]

17. What business is it of theirs who Jeets dates?

Last time I checked, this was a free country. He can date anybody he wants to. These nutjobs need to get a life (and some psychiatric help).

He's young, handsome, a talented athlete, and pulls down a huge salary. Guess they're jealous of that.

DJ's probably laughing all the way to the bank.
