Another idiot who makes his living by playing the race card.
Update to this story.
Via Washington Post:
Baseball great Hank Aaron is catching hell for telling the truth. Actually, the Hall of Famer is catching hell from racists because he had the temerity to point out that racism still exists. Those who think otherwise are delusional and willfully ignorant of the racial state of play in the United States.
Aaron’s alleged offense occurred in a USA Today interview with sports reporter Bob Nightengale. Aaron explained why he still has the racist hate mail he received as he closed in on breaking Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record. […]
The frustrations are many, but Obama spending years having his citizenship questioned by birthers stands out. It was a lie with racist underpinnings that flourished in the silence of a Republican Party all too eager to ride the wave of base enthusiasm it created. Don’t forget that before his implosion, Donald Trump was an early frontrunner for the 2012 presidential nomination thanks to his ugly embrace of the birther lie.
