Speaking to USA Today Tuesday on the 40th anniversary of his then record-breaking 715th home run, the 80-year-old Aaron said that Republicans are hindering Obama’s job performance.
“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,” Aaron told USA Today Sports.
Aaron continued: “The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”

Very disappointed as while I'm not a Republican but a conservative, I have a real problem with Aaron's ignorance.
I KNOW that Aaron evidently isn't aware of Dr. Ben Carson, Allen West, Herman Cain, J.C. Watts, Senator Tim Scott, ALL Republicans and in the words of Obama.. And did I mention (they are) black?"

Very disappointed because Aaron like Obama I guess is NOT very smart in trying to convince people that THEY are not racists!
Why would Aaron as Obama does constantly be devisive ???
So why should I have any respect anymore for Aaron when he obviously doesn't like people like me???
"Aaron goes on to describe the racist letters he has kept for decades as he was chasing Babe Ruth’s home run record."
i bet he received many many more letters of praise over the years from people
of all walks and colors of life and the children that thought of him as a hero
sad really that this is all that he can see
and then to go off and paint a large percentage of the people
with that stripe based on a few hateful letters
what a jackass
Written by someone who has never experienced racism, when no matter what you do, what you accomplish, the only thing so many people can see is your race and not your accomplishments.
And, it is just as likely he has saved both the good and the bad letters.
