Re: Racial poll about Barry Bonds
[ QUOTE ]
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. [/ QUOTE ]Without a doubt. Also Giants fans love him because he's a Giant (and my dad the Brooklyn fan despises him soley because he's a Giant)

Re: Racial poll about Barry Bonds
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I think you would be naive to assume race doesn't have an effect in this debate. [/ QUOTE ] Do you think there would be that much disparity in a poll about McGwire? [/ QUOTE ] the problem with this comparison is the disparity in the way they managed their public perceptions and that McGwire isn't going to surpass a cherished record (held by an african-american I might add) can we draw some comparison with Sosa?

Re: Racial poll about Barry Bonds
I don't even know why these [censored] race things come up. The home-run record is held by a black guy already, so why the [censored] would white people use that reason as to why they dont want Bonds to break the record?

Re: Racial poll about Barry Bonds
The assumption of this poll is that race is a factor in why people like or dislike Barry Bonds. That isn't necessarily true.
But there are reasons far more convincing than just skin color to dislike Bonds.

Re: Racial poll about Barry Bonds
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. I think it's sort of a "gotta stick together" mentality.

[/ QUOTE ] I said McGwire because he was white... What would comparing him to Sosa prove? My point was that I think the racial disparity in the Bonds poll is caused more by black people not wanting to call a black person a cheater then white people being racist. I could be wrong but I think if this poll was about McGwire, there would be less racial disparity in the results.
