Curt Flood Zitate

I was told by the general manager that a white player had received a higher raise than me. Because white people required more money to live than black people. That is why I wasn't going to get a raise.

Der Geschäftsführer sagte mir, dass ein weißer Spieler einen höheren Raise als ich erhalten hatte. Weil weiße Menschen mehr Geld zum Leben benötigten als schwarze Menschen. Deshalb habe ich keine Gehaltserhöhung bekommen.

I don't want to play myself up as a hero, because it would make me unbelievable. I'd rather settle for people thinking that I'm a bum, but digging my stories, than liking me and not being able to believe in my stories. That's one reason I've been hard on myself, because I want my stuff to be believable.
