[Marxism] Bonds, Genes, Racism

["Naveen Jaganathan" <naveenkj3@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sayan, What you wrote is so laughable that I can't even seriously engage you
on racism -- racism in sports, racism in science.  (Louis is right, you need
to stop being a troll, and posting crap to provoke a reaction.)

Marxists have a historical understanding of racism.  You can't divorce the
racist culture, and racist history of the treatment of Black athletes from
the current villification of Barry Bonds. Sayan's conclusion is precisely
the kind of logic one is led to, if you try to question the motives of what
each individual thinks in his private thoughts about Barry Bonds.  Again,
that's not the question.  No, not everyone who doesn't like Bonds is a
racist.  That much has been repeated over and over.  The point is,
individual motivations aside, sociologically racism pervades everything and
gives prominence to  the such views as "Bond's cheated" -- in the face of
facts showing otherwise-- and considering the history of racism in this
country it follow a pattern of discrimination.  That sociobiology is racist,
and new tracts, however implicit in its racism is still racist should be
obvious to anyone that has seriously looked at this subject.  It is no
different in the case of Bonds.  That people in the fucking Left can't see
call out racism when they see it in culture is disturbing.
