I want to say it isn't racism but, even in my declining years, I continue to be amazed by where and when I find racism. And I am new to this baseball thing, where it shouldn't surprise me but sometimes it does (and sometimes it can be the one place where people are colorblind, but will let you know in no uncertain terms that you suck).
I think Bonds breaks down into the following:
--people who don't like people who achieve more than they do
--people who just don't like bonds
--people who are racist
--people who are racist but are in denial that they're racist
--people who don't care
--people who are genuinely happy about it.
no real feel on percentages.
btw, as a woman new to writing about baseball, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your own writing on the subject. Thank you for your inspiration.
