I get that aaron had it hard but he is a American .imagine how hard clemente must of had it .I'm sure he got it pretty bad as well . I don't remember ever hearing about him getting racist with people .nothing gives you the right to be racist . TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT.

I agree with everything you said except for Aaron had it hard. I wouldn't call being blessed with the ability to get rich and famous playing a game for a living..hard.

You should have quit while you were behind. I suggest you do some reading about his life. Having the ability to play baseball did not insulate him from bigotry. For example, how many crosses did the Klan burn in your front yard? How many death threats have you received?

If I was able to be rich by not having to work and be famous, I wouldn't give a damn how many death threats I received.

That's like saying ' I want to be President of the U.S. but I don't want to wear a tie and receive all the hate mail. lol

Quit making excuses for ignorance. Hate is Hate!!

I would hate to think that the amount of money one has would ever cause a person to not worry about death threats against themself or family members. That is basically saying that money is the most important thing. I would lose respect for a person putting money ahead of family much more quickly than for making the comments that Aaron said.
