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.

do you only post on any 2p2 thread that relates to race?

seriously

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.

No, he also sticks up for homophobes. He's 2+2's resident Archie Bunker.

Why people hate Barry Bonds will never make sense to me.

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!).

You better hope that Redbean or one of the other Bonds apologists don't see that post!
