The Boston Globe has a sucky paywall.
Is this truly a racist callout to white supremacists or a poorly designed protesting sign?

1. I think it is supposed to point out that racism isn't just a few people

marching with torches, but something that is deeply ingrained in America.

2. ESPN adds a little info

A Red Sox spokesman said four people were escorted from the park and that one of them said they were inspired by Black Lives Matter.

So I'm leaning toward poorly designed protest sign.

3. Imo that Racism is part of what is America, and it is directed to those in denial

4. Considering that some BoSox fans used racist taunts @ Orioles CFer Adam Jones in May

I'm not thinking they helped their anti racist stand.

5. Yes it is and we can only hope people

Will recognize this, think about this, and, at long last, want to end it.

6. I think it's a riff on an old quote about racism being "as American as apple pie."

Shaun King added baseball to that last year, and perhaps others have said that as well.
