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.

Why is it just Barry? Mark McGuire took an oath before Congress and lied, Rafael Palmeiro and how many others. I hate to see only Barry get strung up for this.

Talk about an escape goat.

I don't think McGwire lied. He just refused to talk about the past.

In light of Roger Clemens' testimony under oath, in front of Congress the other day, I certainly hope that he's indicted for perjury along with Mr. Bonds.

Anything else would be just a tad hypocritical...don't you think?
