8. I most definitely don't deny that there are racists who hate Bonds.

But it's being used as a crutch when every other defense falls flat is getting to be very, very old. More often than not the charge is being used as a shield. It's meant to stifle any criticism of the guy by making people afraid to be called a racist.

If Whitey Whitebread broke one of sport's all time biggest records under a cloud of suspicion then he'd be getting his ass reamed too. The racism charge is really a pretty cowardly tactic to just throw out there randomly. If you have actual examples of such instances then apply it to those individuals. Just throwing it out there as a blanket type statement is crap.
