Hammerin' Hank Tells It Like It Is

looks like the racist assholes haven't changed in 40 years....

The Atlanta Braves received a bevy of angry, racist letters this week after an interview baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron did with USA Today.
A few days ago, Aaron, the senior vice president of the Braves, told USA Today: “Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated. We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country. The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”
That set off a firestorm of mail to the Braves, including a letter from someone named Edward. (USA Today only referred to those who sent letters by their first names.) The letter, which included racial epithets, said: “Hank Aaron is a scumbag piece of s—.”
“The Braves have been besieged by hundreds of letters, e-mails and phone calls deriding Aaron for comments he made to USA TODAY Sports,” the newspaper said. Sportswriter Bob Nightengale continued:

Marion calls Aaron a “racist scumbag.” Ronald won’t attend another Braves game until Aaron is fired. Mark calls Aaron a “classless racist.” David says that he will burn Aaron’s I Had A Hammer autobiography.
Sheer racism, exposed in vile letters directed to Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, have poured into the Atlanta Braves offices over the past week.
Yes, it was like 1974 all over again, the year Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record, with letters laced with the most hateful epithet known to African Americans

dali....
he has the facts....tens of thousands pieces of hate mail....
sounds as if you think sending hate mail is okay with you....do you think it's proper to send hate mail to anyone....
he has the law on his side as it's a crime to send hate mail....
he has no need to pound the table unless it's to try to silence you and the other fools....

How many pieces did they have to cut it into to turn the "bevy" of hate mail into tens of thousands pieces?
Or is just one piece of hate mail enough to be fucking outraged? Fuckers should go to jail for sending hate mail because it is illegal, right? Mother fuckers are hiding behind "freedom of speech" and antiquated bullshit like that, are they? We need to fuck those sumbitches up!!!

Even if you made being white skinned a crime for the next thousand years, mo fo's would still be banging the drum for retribution over their long nursed grievances which will never be satisfied.

Ironic when Aaron accuses others of racism he is heroic and speaking the truth. When someone calls him racist, then they are actually the racists sending hate mail!!!

Stevepar - where does it say Hank Aaron received "tens of thousands of pieces of hate mail"? The USA article you cite says he received a "firestorm of mail" including "a bevy of angry, racist letters". How does a bevy translate into tens of thousands of pieces of hate mail? I would bet the vast majority of the mail was critical without hurling racist pejoratives at him. The USA article cites two writers who called Hank Aaron a racist. If it is racist to call another person a racist, then liberals are the biggest racists on the planet.

Aaron's remarks were stupid. It's ok to say I support our first black President. It's fine to say blacks have made progress, but there is still room for improvement. It's stupid to say Obama should get a pass and if Republicans treat Obama the same way Democrats treated Dubya, it makes them modern-day klansmen. That is ludicrous, and I am surprised anybody would even defend Aaron's remarks.

l.l....
reread the article or read the history of aaron when he was chasing the babes' record....
they have photographs and everything.....
jewish liability....
you get more far out everyday....

That's why I support reparations - give them the fucking money and then stop the diversity /affirmative action/quota/grievance racket for good. Originally Posted by Jewish Lawyer

If you really think you could ever buy your way permanently out of the hypocritical, double-binding, have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too head-fuck which any professional victim learns to practice to perfection, then you've never been to a strip joint (which would be surprising for anyone on this board).

Nobody has mentioned this, but as I remember it, an equal amount of hatred was heaped upon Roger Maris when he broke Ruth's single season HR record.

or taken out of context or something. He says it is not what he meant to say and blames it on the reporter. I guess Hank can't take it or he was used by a reporter with an agenda.
