What race was babe Ruth?

He was half mayonnaise. You know they didn't let brothas play back then.
 
Honestly, he looked more like someone who was a quarter black than someone who was Moorish. The Germans really didn't have a Moorish influence.

He was definitely made of chocolate but came in a white wrapper a little nutty too.

Was Babe Ruth Black? And Why It Matters
CLARENCE PAGE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
May 17, 2001|CLARENCE PAGE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
If the jokes about Bill Clinton being the nation's first "black" president were not weird enough for you, get a load of this:

In his new role as a sports columnist for Gotham, a slick new magazine for Manhattan party animals, black filmmaker Spike Lee asks another burning question: Was Babe Ruth black?

Eh? The Babe? The Yankees' home run king? The "Sultan of Swat"?

The question is not a new one, it turns out. Despite George Herman "Babe" Ruth's denials at the time, rumors and suppositions persisted about his racial background. His nose was just broad enough, his lips were just full enough and his complexion was just swarthy enough to draw not only suspicions but also some vile, N-word taunts from the opposing team's bench.

Either way, imagine what the Babe was going through. Although Ruth's maternal grandparents were immigrants from Germany, his father's family lived for several generations in 19th century Baltimore and is less easy to trace with total racial certainty.

Even if there were no hard evidence that he was black, how was Ruth to come up with hard evidence that he wasn't? You can't prove a negative, as the old saying goes. Ruth was white enough to stay in the heavily segregated major leagues, but not white enough to resist taunts and other forms of discrimination, according to some accounts.

Gee, imagine how the Babe must have felt. Whether he was a black man or not, he was getting abused like one.

In the May 7 issue of Sports Illustrated, columnist Daniel Okrent responded to Lee, citing an episode alleged by Fred Lieb, a sportswriter of that era. According to Lieb, the notoriously racist Ty Cobb refused to share a cabin with Ruth at a Georgia hunting lodge, saying, "I've never bedded down with a n----- and I'm not going to start now."
 
There's a lot of evidence to suggest he was. Players would often call him the N word from the bench and here's an excerpt from a piece about something Ty Cobb said about Ruth.

Ty Cobb was one racist sob.
