Roberto Clemente's influence on Puerto Rican baseball players was very similar to that of Jackie Robinson for African American baseball players. He wasn't the first Puerto Rican to play in the MLB, however, he was arguably the most notable at the time. Roberto faced discrimination and disrespect while playing in MLB. Roberto persevered and continued to let his play shine and prove why he and many Latino players like him deserved to play among the best of the MLB. Recognized as "The Great One" , he often made his frustrations known about being overlooked by the media during his career. In Puerto Rico, Roberto was nothing less than a monumental superstar. He was considered a national hero and was idolized by all of the young players watching him. As rich and famous Roberto got, he never stopped helping others. He always helped the underprivileged as much as he could. - Wikipedia

“Nicaragua recuerda a Clemente en todo momento. Se le rinde homenaje en escuelas, ligas de béisbol, en barrios y cómo no recordarlo si fue el hombre que ofrendó su vida por ayudarnos a todos los nicaragüenses”, sentenció Enrique.

“Cuando Clemente murió sus tres hijos estaban muy niñitos. Hoy doña Vera, su esposa, quien falleció hace poco, está compartiendo con Roberto, por primera vez después de muchos años y desde allá nos van a orientar nuevas gestas, nuevas tareas en pro de los niños, niñas, de todos los nicaragüenses, y de todos los Latinoamericanos que seguimos recordando a ese gran ser humano”, - Enrique Armas Rosales, cronista deportivo de larga trayectoria y actual vicealcalde de Managua para el19digital.com

The U.S. Senate has an opportunity to take steps in the right direction toward holding law enforcement officers responsible and ending needless police brutality.  House Democrats drafted a sweeping police reform bill, and the GOP coalesced around its own, more limited measure drafted by U.S. Senator Tim Scott, the Senate’s only Black Republican.  Senate Democrats blocked that imperfect legislation, rather than letting Republicans pass the bill with their input and send it through a process where lawmakers from both parties could iron out their differences.

Now, the legislative progress has ground to a halt.

For criminal justice reform activists like me, this stalemate is a huge disappointment.

Americans are demanding reform now. An estimated 26 million people have participated in protests following the death of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, constituting the largest protest movement in U.S. history. New Jersey alone saw dozens of demonstrations in communities ranging from Newark and Hackensack to Camden, Toms River and beyond.

Support for police reform crosses party and ethnic lines. Ninety-four percent of Americans believe at least some reform is needed to improve policing, with 58% calling for major changes, according to a recent Gallup poll.

Lawmakers don’t feel the same sense of urgency. Everyone knows the current House bill stands zero chance of passing a GOP Senate. So by blocking U.S. Sen. Scott’s bill, Democrats are effectively kicking the can until 2021 -- in the hopes that they’ll gain a Senate majority and reclaim the White House. - Star-Ledger Guest Columnist Taaj Williams

In social psychology, a stereotype is an over-generalized belief about a particular category of people.  It is an expectation that people might have about every person of a  particular group. The type of expectation can vary; it can be, for  example, an expectation about the group's personality, preferences, or  ability.

Stereotypes are generalized because one assumes that the stereotype is true for each individual person in the category.  While such generalizations may be useful when making quick decisions,  they may be erroneous when applied to particular individuals.  Stereotypes lead to social categorization, which is one of the reasons for prejudice attitudes, and may arise for a number of reasons. - Wikipedia with references
