I think  Bonds probably used steroids.  If Comrades Naveen and Walter 
are to  be believed, that makes me a racist (or at least a dupe of 
color-blind  racism).  If either of them made such a suggestion to my 
face, I'd do  the unladylike thing and loosen some of their teeth for  them.

No comrade, it doesn't make you a racist, but as is the case with  
out-of-context quotes, your selective quoting of this study is unethical  and 
politically/intellectually dishonest. The findings of the study undermine  your 
position 
by showing clearly how aware and sensitive Black America  is to the racism 
involved as ONE of the factors behind the demonization of  Bonds, whereas 
whites 
are completely blind to it, using their "support" of the  "good Negro" Aaron 
as proof that they're not racists. ("Some of my best  friends...") Your 
dishonesty indicates an unwillingness to face up to  an untenable position.
