Jackie Robinson ended white people's cool era #shanegillis #funny #comedy #smokecountyjk #shorts

White people used to be cool in America. A long time ago, dude. The height of white people being cool was us going like,

meh.

That was as cool as we got. We're like, meh, see?

Ha ha.

Meh.

And then the day white people stopped being cool was Jackie Robinson's first game.

See?

See? That's what I'm talking about.

You can look it up, dude. You can look it up, dude. You can find it. You can find the radio call from that game online. You can hear the exact moment white people stopped being cool. You can hear the announcers. They still got that, like, "[ Imitates radio announcer's voice

like a man in a suit, laughing,

with a white sock taken down the Brooklyn Dodgers. And we all had cool white nicknames. Like, up at the mound is Old Curly, he's a 47-year-old alcoholic. He's the greatest athlete alive.

Wow.

That was a six-second 40-yard dash.

Six seconds.

Fastest man alive, they say. Then it happened, dude. And Jackie came up to the plate. You can hear the announcers like, meh. Coming up to the plate is young Todd Barr from Brooklyn. No way he can hit Curly's pitch.

Here comes the pitch.

Fuck, home run.

All right. That was it.

Jack, you hit the ball short and you knocked that voice out of all the whites.

Okay.

Not one of us has talked like that since. Not one of us has talked like that since.

It was one swing.
