...Hank Aaron compared Republicans that oppose President Barack Obama to the Ku Klux Klan....
“Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.
Aaron continued: “The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”

The interviewer was nice and gentle, but I felt Aaron spent an inordinate amount of time talking about all the hate mail he received prior to breaking Babe Ruth's home run record. He also said he had kept it all these years.
I concluded that this is a man who wallows in self-pity and gives the type of yahoos who sent him that mail a lot of satisfaction.
I think of all the other great black players who came up about the same time he did (Ernie Banks, Roberto Clemente, Larry Doby, Billy Williams and others), doubtless experienced that same type of discrimination, but never allowed it to consume them.
Might be a worth while endeavor to pen an open letter to Hank in his local newspaper?!?!?
Apparently Hank ain’t making enough dough these days to be affected by the Dems war on the rich...or he’s a crony capitalist.
He is a blalck, what do you expect? Rice voted for “The Clown” as did that black general whose name I forget. Only the white thinks race is not important, the Third World knows better and as a result is gaining control with the help of white people.
I’m sure Hank knew this at one point, but brainwashing and the rewriting of history by the cabal in power continues: It was the Democrats who were most instrumental in filibustering and doing their best to delay the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Republicans were 80% in favor.
Here in the Kingdom of Lies, anything goes.
Some people never grow up.
Babe Ruth did it in the “Dead Ball” era; didn’t have a corked or SuperBall in the center.
But yeah, when he hit that record breaker, I cheered for him too. I was a kid back then. Same with Roger Maris, Micky Mantle, Mark McQuire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds. Everybody loves to see someone “going for it” and trying to beat a record.
This was a stupid thing for him to to say, but it’s more than that; he REALLY believes it - it does not appear to be something that he just blurted out in a moment of anger.
He’s a racist old man, and he can fade away. He’s done to me.
Evidently, skin color means more than just being an American and a hero to a lot of kids.
anybody who makes their living hitting little white balls around is suspect in my book. ;-]
Someone please tell Hanky that 0bama hides behind his skin color and that if he were white, he'd surely been impeached and possibly in prison by now over F&F, IRS voter suppression, illegal NSA activities, Benghazi murders and criminal acts pertaining to Obamacare, TO NAME A FEW.
He finally found the courage to come out as the demented racist he is. Now shut up and get lost Aaron.
Plantation mentality. Mr. Aaron judges others by the color of their skin, not the content of their character.
It’s up to conservatives to explain why the policies of the left are what harm black citizens. We’re going up against public schools, media, social culture, etc. so we need strong leaders willing to speak above the noise.
I really miss Ronald Reagan.
And as a black man, he will side with black men. Period.
this crap is getting old.
Jimmy Carter synrome.
Maybe I’m just old, but I’ve learned that the only person that will never let me down was hung on a cross over 2,000 years ago.
Let’s see if Hank can decipher DixieCRAT
