Who gives a fukk if he had some African ancestry or not? He is still not black.

No one knows for certain. They could do a DNA test and both sides are going to claim foul regardless of the results.
Why do we want to claim him either way? He was a racist piece of shyt who lived and died as a racist piece of shyt. So either he was a white supremacist or uncle ruckus. Little to no distinction in my opinion.
He looks similar to J Edgar Hoover

Yes he was racially abused at times. It’s been lost to history. So much media didn’t make it to the internet, old books that had limited runs were lost, and the same for so many newspaper articles.
He was called Hard N lips growing up. He was born 30 years after Because he was so much darker than the other boys and his other features. The Red Sox fans called him the big baboon. He was a pitcher at first before he became the hit king.
Similar to Jordan’s love of the game clause Babe Ruth would often go out of his way to play games with Black men who were banned from Major leagues. Babe would be up in Harlem at the AME Churches. One of his best friends was the owner of the Black Yankees of the Negro Leagues. He brought the first black man into the Yankee Clubhouse. After he retired he played for free in front of 8,000 people in Dyckman against the New York Cubans.
He’s on record calling Italians Wops and Irish people Micks. But never the N word.
His was blocked from being a manager because it was feared he would add black players. He’s the only great of his era with so many games known of against in their prime Negro League legends. He retired in 1935 twelve years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier.
Why would a white man give and receive so much love from black people in that era ?
He’s darker than Adam Clayton Powell Jr

???? I’ve read that he went out of his way to befriend Black athletes and play Black baseball teams
- According to Ruth’s family and baseball historian Bill Jenkinson, Ruth wanted to be a baseball manager after he retired. But he “didn’t get the job because Landis knew that, if hired as manager, Ruth would have openly supported signing black ballplayers.” Ruth never became a manager and his daughter said he was denied his dream because he supported letting black players enter the majors. As late as 2014, Ruth’s adopted daughter, Julia Ruth Stevens, told the New York Times that her father was blackballed from becoming a major league manager after his retirement because it was feared that he would lobby for players of color. “Daddy would have had blacks on his team,” said Stevens, who lived to age 102.
