Is the black community (if such a thing exists) capable of actually NOT supporting a high profile black individual?

I'd bet Mike Tyson still has a significantly higher favorability rating among blacks than whites.

Another thought:

McGwire got 23.5% of the vote his first chance in the HoF, and I think everyone agrees that pre-congress hearing and steroid investigations that Big Mac was a cinch first ballot guy. I guarantee Bonds gets a significantly higher % than that.

It's because he's black. That scientific poll said so.

It has nothing to do with him being a [censored].
It has nothing to do with his obvious use of performance enhancing drugs.
It has nothing to do with his playing for the worst team on the planet (Go Dodgers!).
