Default Ty Cobb- Would He Have Gotten Into the Hall in 1929

Posted By: peter chao

Barry's lived in both Menlo Park and presently lives in Beverly Hills in California. If he was a racist he wouldn't be living in virtually lily-white neighborhoods.

He does have some racist tendencies...but it is more like he has a huge chip on his shoulder. He's a second generation star in the Bay Area, Bobby Bonds, his father was loved by many here. His godfather is Mays who lives in Atherton, another rich white neighborhood. Barry's been a celebrity his entire life...and has been treated as such.

But still Barry is a proud black man...in his warped way, he probably thinks that by making racist comments he's getting back at some caucasians who don't treat blacks well. We need to tell Barry it doesn't work that way, and he is being just as racist as the people he's condemning.
