Asinine. You cannot expect 20th Century people to have enlightened views on race. Time and place. Could Albert Einstein run a smart phone as well as my grandson, no. So a six year old is obviously smarter than Einstein. Time and place. Tom Yawkey was a nice guy, otherwise. And his racial policies hurt the Red Sox and himself more than blacks. The Sox were a joke in the late 50's, up to the Impossible Dream season. All because they were getting by with Marty Keough instead of Willie Mays. Don Buddin instead of Ernie Banks. Ike Delock instead on Don Newcombe.
