I never realized Hank Aaron was black. I’ve often heard the name, but today was the first time I actually looked up his picture.

Sad that Hank would demean himself this way. He is actually one of the true heroes of civil rights. Everybody know who Jackie Robinson was. People often don’t realize that players like Roy Campanella and Hank Aaron faced the same ugliness without the recognition.

I didn't either... but then until recently we never bothered to care if someone was black/white/brown/whatever.

You must be very young.

Aaron’s pursuit of Babe was in large part about race. With the black and liberal racists jerking off over 714

That just can’t be. We are constantly told that we think about racism constantly. /s
