"holding a bat autographed by black-American baseball great Hank Aaron"

Thank you Reuters for focusing on the color of one's skin. I guess that somehow makes the bat more important? For cryin' out loud, we know who Hank Aaron is and what he accomplished and THAT had nothing to do with the spectrum.

It is the reason Obama was holding it and not a Babe Ruth bat, though.

What kind of s#$%$ would be stirred up if Reuters printed, something about “that great White American baseball figure, Babe Ruth”?

But, back to the subject, if I was a Turk, I’d be very offended. Maybe Hillary pulled out all of the adult supervision from the place. Or, more likely, they were tossed out.
