AnsonMaybe I'm wrong, but many of us don't want to see any steroid user pass Hank Aaron (an African American last time I checked).
Racism still exists to some extent but I don't believe it's coming into play with the case of Bonds. He has, from the start, handled himself in a manner that attracts negative attention.
Removing race out of the mix, I would be upset to see any person pass Aaron unless they did it without the enhancement of illegal substances. I don't care if it's McGwire, Bonds, Sosa, Manny, it just isn't right. While I may have slightly more respect for McGwire (mainly for how he's handled himself off the field), I still consider him a cheat and his numbers tainted. The HR chase of 98' served as a way to save baseball. However, in retrospect, I feel duped that both of the involved parties probably did it unfairly.
