bleh, its not like steroids and HGH care what color your skin is.

I was surprised since up to this point I hadn't given much thought to there even being a race issue. I doubt whites would change their minds if Barry was white instead of black.

I think you would be naive to assume race doesn't have an effect in this debate.

Do you think there would be that much disparity in a poll about McGwire?

Not as much as it has to do with Barry Bonds being a complete dick head

My first thoughts were, "Why?" Why do we keep having racial polls like this? Aren't we trying to move forward from racism, etc.? I know it still exists, but why even do a poll like this? Why does it matter what whites and blacks think about Barry? It should matter what PEOPLE think IMO.

If anything I think it's reverse racism.

I think it's less white people hating Barry because he's black and more black people loving Barry because he's black.
