Was Babe Ruth Black? 

Who was here for the og thumbnail💀💀💀

Only OG’s remember the old thumbnail…

We all saw the old thumbnail….

Only real fans saw the original video lol

Fun fact Ted Williams was Mexican. His mother was a Mexican American and he was also a advocated for MLB to desegregation

We ain't forgetting the old thumbnail

bro doubling down on twitter he’s cooked

We got babe Ruth being black before gta6

Side note: a third of Babe's 714 homeruns came after the ground rule double became a rule in 1929. Before then a ball that bounced over the wall was considered a dinger.

Babe’s parent’s owned a Saloon bro, not a Salon 😂

OG thumbnail gang unite 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Shocked he didnt start talking about skull measurements

I’ve always assumed that babe must have been Italian or something which could explain the darker skin tone than most white people and black hair

I knew the last thumbnail was too much for RU-vid lol

The old thumbnail was better actually

Bro thinks he’s slick for removing that old thumbnail

Bruhs wildin with this one 💀

Babe's dad could pass for Babe, so the illegitimate scenario is unlikely. Gerard Depardieu must be black because nose.

The Ty Cobb quote in this video is suspect. It is accredited to Fred Lieb, a sportswriter who had previous beef with Cobb. And we all know about Cobbs recent revisionist history.

Babe Ruth being black is a YUUUUGE stretch 😂😂😂

The original thumbnail was 100x better!! Lol. Keep up the good work, friend. Love the videos. This was an especially interesting one

I see words, even censored ones, hurt people's feelings.

His father owned a Saloon not a salon.

people got to calm down, I'm literally as white as it gets and I used to point out how Babe look exactly like my german descended grandpa. in fact my grandpa was darker than babe. no one ever questioned if my grandpa was black and guess what genetically virtually no one is 100% black or white like what would that really mean.

I saw the video yesterday that I guess got deleted

The old thumbnail was goated

Bro is bold to repost this after the OG title

iTalk, bro, you gotta get the point dude

people calling you racist over this might be the most stupid and overblown shit ever

I was at work when the video came out but I looked for it and I thought I went crazy

Lets say he was black what differnce does it make today and how does it change anyones life today??It will be nothing but an interesting footnote.

I thought he was half Native American. Could of sworn I heard that

Babe Ruth was Irish and they were treated very similar to black people back in the day. You can find signs from that time in stores that said “No blacks, no dogs, no Irish”

I was fortunate to see Hank Aaron as a member of the Milwaukee Braves in the 50s & 60s. It never bothered me about his skin. My memory of Hank was his swing. The best ever.. The sweetest swing.

ITS BACK!!! I’m so glad you decided to repost this video.

Just started watching your videos yesterday and have been absolutely hooked ever since

LOLOLOLOLOL MANS GOT COOKED AND CHANGED THE THUMBNAIL

Well people used to call italians the n word back then too just cuz they were dark, doesnt mean they were black though.

real ones know the og thumbnail

You should do Ted Williams hiding his Mexican heritage next. After seeing his Mexican uncle overlooked he chose to hide it. Really interesting story.

Bro is really set on this topic lol

I've always thought he was white because of his German background but I mean even German immigrants faced discrimination back in those days, a lot of people forget that Italian irish and German immigrants faced discrimination much like Hispanic people do today also because some were catholic

Ted Williams' mom had Mexican heritage. He fully admitted he would have had 'issues' if that was publicized. I always wondered about the 2 fans coming up to Hank after 715. Thanks for letting me know!

Babe was the spitting image of his father. He wasn't illegitimate. His father. Now that's the question.

Didn't the Ken Burns Baseball documentary discuss the rumors about Babe's race? Also, Babe's father owned a saloon, not a salon. They have the same French root but mean very different things in today's English.

“Dealt with Racism” bro called a PR agency before he made another thumbnail 😂

Trying to defend that old thumbnail is some crazy work bro 💀 YFK owns you

Moses Fleetwood Walker⚾️

I think they kept calling Babe those slurs because he interacted with African American people, including ballplayers. Like N lover, N this N that. I say this because I saw the movie "42" and saw a lot of people would call those things to people who interacted with Jackie Robinson. That was a movie, so I would imagine it was a lot worse in real life. That's my guess.

That original thumbnail was something else but given the context it makes alot of sense.

That OG thumbnail was Based as fuck

An iTalk Studios classic

I’ve played baseball since the age of about nine years old, and I’ve never thought about this at all… And I’m black, glad I came across. It is an interesting topic.

Didn't expect to see a title like this for a iTalk Studios video

When I first saw a picture of Babe Ruth when I was 7 years old, I thought he was black. He had a lot of the same features as my black family. Then I saw a color picture of him and said, "oh nvm". Fast forward to me being in my mid 30s with two babies that came out white with straight/curl non nappy hair(white wife, take that racist). My eldest has started to turn olivish color, which is the color that Babe was in that color picture. So maybe he was mix race?

Yeah it’s back

How about everyone meat riding the “can’t forget the OG thumbnail” most of yall don’t know

There were plenty of Black baseball players in the majors in the late 1800’s…. I wonder why that’s never discussed, when this topic comes up?

Real ones know the original😂

I knew zero percent of this, so thank you for the history lesson. This is kind of exciting to look into.

Bro, he was just tan from being in the sun too much. Y'all tan too, bro. 😂

Thanks for the great content. Have a great Day.

Original thumbnail was something else

*What WAS the original thumbnail since nobody wants to just let those who missed it know.*

The curse of the bambino, he's gotta be Italian.

Ted Williams had Mexican rut’s on his mother side if I’m not mistaken

Made sure to change that thumbnail huh buddy?

This video is insane

Desus and Mero would say he's Dominican

It’s funny my great grandmother used to talk about” legends” like this. She swore until she was no longer living when she seen babe Ruth she thought he was a biracial man

Man U didn’t have to reup load the whole video lol 😭

It’ll never take away from the fact that Babe Ruth was the greatest baseball player ever regardless of race

Og thumbnail got taked down 💀💀💀

Hank Aaron was the greatest baseball player ever. Period.

Bro why did you reupload it

This has to be my favorite titlw to a video ever

Babe family last name from Moms side.was Saenz.. His daughter talks about him going to Mexico and learning how to pitch from his Uncles... yep

Old thumbnail > New

As someone who is biracial part white part Asian this story was interesting to me. Looking at his nose that’s where I see maybe he was biracial? Also as story told he was pro equality as well. It’s probably something though we’ll never know for sure but it was interesting to dive into.

What if Babe Ruth watched this video

I know he found the old thumbnail relatable

Yooo the original thumbnail 😮😮

Who else is walking this for a second time? 😂

"Adolf enthusiast" 😂

What was the old thumbnail?

Spike Lee has been trying to prove this for more than 20 years

Making things up for a lack of content is kinda insane

I didn't see the old thumbnail. I'll have to check wayback machine.

history will remember the old thumbnail

Somewhere in the back of my mind I guess I always assumed he had Native American or Italian ancestory, although I don’t think i ever consciously thought about it until now.

You see that dude run? That boy white.

So Babe Ruth got real tan in the Summer while playing baseball outdoors and being exposed to a lot of sunlight. Some rival player's used racial obscenities towards the Babe, means he was possibly black ? Isn't that kind of a reach to fit your narrative ?

Shout out to the 70%

bro thinks we forgot about the old thumbnail

Moses Fleetwood Walker Was the first black player.

According to The Kid Mero, Babe Ruth was actually Dominican🤣

The discourse this caused on twitter 💀💀💀💀

I have to disagree. I do not think it changes a whole lot, if anything at all. First, it shouldn't be shocking that Babe Ruth may have some African ancestors in his DNA-makeup. Even if he wasn't the illegitimate son of his mother and a black bartender. Most Americans are of mixed race to a degree. When Elizabeth Warren was in the news a while back, it was mentioned that all Americans have some percentage of American Indian DNA in them. While many Americans will consider themselves "white," you scratch the surface and you find a variety of DNA markers in us. So that Babe Ruth may have some African DNA in him shouldn't be all that shocking. Second, I don't see how it changes how we think of Babe Ruth. No one should go out and try to claim he was the "real" first black player. That will always be Jackie Robinson. No one really treated Babe Ruth as a black man. Further, he never presented himself as a black man. They made fun of his looks, but no one said he was actually black. He did not go through was Jackie Robinson went through. Babe Rush was the most significant player of his era. At this point, I think his real ancestry (whatever that may be) is, essentially, irrelevant.

I want the old thumbnail

YO he showed the old thumbnail 😭😭😭
