Reply #176: The men who used to wear ties to the ballpark

[Speck Tater]

would refuse to sit next to a black man, and were scnadalized by the idea of letting "colored people" play baseball.

So how was their superficial "respect" superior to real respect of a person who wears a T-shirt and respects his fellow humans regardless of skin color?

Dressing up in some particular costume or another does not make you a better person. In fact, in many cases it seems to give people license to behave in a most disrepectful manner.

The German SS had the sharpest looking dress uniforms in the history of the planet. Did being snappy dressers make them more respectful?
