Derek Jeter threat

[Slim Sheedy]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Yankees star Derek Jeter received a threatening letter that reportedly warned he'd be ``shot or set on fire'' if he didn't stop dating white women.

The FBI is investigating ``racially threatening letters to Jeter and others across the country,'' special agent Scott Wilson said Monday by phone from Cleveland. He declined to comment further.

Jeter downplayed what he called the ``stupid letter,'' saying he did not perceive it as a specific threat.

The Daily News reported that the hate mail to the Yankees' 31-year-old captain called him a ``traitor to his race'' for dating white women. It warned him ``to stop or he'll be shot or set on fire,'' the paper said in Monday editions, quoting an unidentified law enforcement source.

Similar threatening letters denouncing interracial relationships have been sent to other public figures in recent months, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jason Taylor, and the parents of tennis star James Blake. The threats have been traced to the Cleveland area.

No, dont trust you, because that is completely false.

You are more likely to find a crazy white girl, than a black girl. Because instead of going crazy, the black girl would probably whoop your ass, or have someone whoop your ass, and thats theend of it.

White girls though, drama queens, will forever make your life a living hell.
