re: How did Hank Aaron hit so many homeruns being as small as he was?

quote:

Said something along the lines that the KKK doesn't wear hoods anymore, but they traded them in for suits. (hinting at them being republicans/conservatives as he went on to say that Obama is trying to do great things but he has one foot stuck in the mud due to the "suits.")

I have seen some really stupid post on TD but this just has really taken the cake. You don't think Aaron may be holding some resentment especially against people who discriminate or who are racist?

It's not Hank hasn't spit on, yelled insults at, couldn't be with his teammates on his way through the minor leagues or received hate mail & death threats while chasing one of the greatest sport records in America? Are you really this shallow to not realize this? Even still, Hank has handled what he went through over the years with the utmost class & now that he says a few sentences in his old age to vent, he's a racist.

IMO, that is pretty much him saying if you're against Obama, you're racist.

You are wrong & this is not what he meant. He meant that Obama came into a situation doomed to fail because of the failures of the past regime before him. His comments had nothing to do with saying people who don't like Obama are racist. His comments about the KKK not wearing hoods but suits & ties was a shot at corporate America.

Maybe ole Hank had a valid point after all.
