 Re: Bonds Indited for Perjury and Obstruction of Justice
Quote: Blacks more likely to feel Bonds investigations unfair than whites
Updated: December 3, 2007, 4:05 PM ETMore than half of blacks surveyed in an ESPN/Seton Hall poll on Barry Bonds think baseball and the federal government were unfair in its probe of the all-time home run king and think Bonds' record should remain asterisk-free.
 Bonds
Those numbers are significantly higher than whites, who were asked the same questions in the survey of 631 people.
Only 26.3 percent of whites said Major League Baseball was unfair in his probe of past abuses, while 52.5 percent of blacks felt that way. Only 25.7 percent of whites felt the government was unfair in its probe, compared to 54.5 percent of blacks. And 34.8 percent of whites felt Bonds' record should not be marked with an asterisk or stricken from the record book; 50.4 percent of blacks felt that way.
| This large of a disparity does not surprise me at all. There are still a lot of people that are PC in public but bias in private. ESPN - Blacks more likely to feel Bonds investigations unfair than whites - MLB
