Hank Aaron, who was celebrated Tuesday night in Atlanta on the 40th anniversary of breaking Babe Ruth's all-time home run record, compared Obama critics to the KKK as he opened up about the state of race relations in an interview with USA Today. The Braves legend, who told the newspaper he still has the bigoted letters and death threats he received during his pursuit of one of baseball's most cherished records, said that little has changed despite the decades that have passed. "The biggest difference is that back then they had hoods," Aaron said. "Now they have neckties and starched shirts."

Hank. I look to you for my ideal of an all around great hall of fame baseball player. Your take on politics shouldn’t even be worthy of being published in any form.
Go shag some balls Hank , you’re way over your head.

Dear hank,

Thanks for letting us know that your view of politics is clouded by your own racism.

Baseball, basketball, and hockey players are best for that. I have not paid for you to open your yap aboput things, outside of your selected field of expertise.

Since you are the racist, let’s all burn your baseball cards, if any still exist.

Using Hank’s “logic”, he must be a member of the Black Panther Party since I have not heard a peep out of him criticize the knockout game from blacks.

"FU Hank"

Hank funny you mention the KKK. It is made up of mostly RATS. Remember Robert Bird? He was the grand dragon.
Now please tell me just what the RATS have done for black people?
Yet they keep believing every lie the RATS promise them.
That is plantation Hank.
FU HANK FU

And they're still Democrats, Hank, all of 'em.

Uh, no need for you to go to all that trouble. Everyone should send their Hank Arron and Willy Mays cards to me and I’ll dispose them for you :)

So Hank, any white person with legitimate criticism of Obama is racist...?

His skin color makes him beyond reproach ?

Thanks for exposing yourself as a idiot and tool....

So Hank Aaron is saying that Martin Luther King, a Republican, was also a member of the KKK?

I used to think highly of Hank but his skin color is the most important thing to him.

Well Hank, in my mind you went from an American hero to a bigoted pinhead.

I spit on you.

Aaron will definitely hurt his reputation with those statements. I am disappointed that he stooped to that level.
