I'm a non-white and think that Barry used drugs..... It's just elementary because HGH and steroids were not yet banned or made illegal in baseball at that time......
Race does not have anything to do with drug use. The two gentleman who were accused of doping during the Tour de France were caucasian, chinese swimmers and divers were suspended during the last Olympic Games due to drugs..... Drug use is universal, and it does not matter what color or race you are.
Look at the OJ Simpson case. Both sides rioted when the cops were acquitted and not only the minorities.

Unfortunately, there is always going to be a racial divide in sports. Where did you see this poll? How credible is the source? How many people participated in this poll? Were the people polled divided equally among race? See...unfortunately, nothing in sports, life, etc. is black and white. Also, eyes see what they want to see and ears hear what they want to hear. As a white male, I am saying that I don't know if Bonds used steroids. We may never know.

Why does this have to be about race? Why can't people just go on with the game. There is no proof he did roids!

Yeah, I think a lot of times race is brought into it when it doesn't need to be. I personally think they should just get off Bonds' case until they find some proof and stop ruining his reputation which has already been tarnished badly after continually going after him since the whole steroid issue began.

well it is a fact that at one point he did use roids (2003 Balco scandal thingy). The question is whether he took them knowingly or not. I personally believe that he took them knowingly because when ur a star in a league that is paranoid about steroids you would not ingest unknown substances
This is what bonds said,
"I never asked Greg" about what the products contained, Bonds testified.
What kind of excuse is that, if that was me i'd be asking what it was made of ect.
So in short i prefer to think of bonds as crafty as opposed to a blundering idiot who will blindly ingest anything that gets put in front of him.

This is not a race issue. Bonds is not a victim. I can't stand people who try to make it a race issue or people who think that Bonds is some kind of victim. It is neither, period.

Why is it that everything in the world has to do with race? This kind of crap really gets to me. Who conducted this survey? Where did they get these statistics from? Were all the African Americans from SF and all the whites from New York? This crap is so screwed up and I can't believe that anybody could believe it. Do black people think Lance Armstrong used performance enhancing drugs and white people think he did not?

Everyone's always eager to play the race card when it benefits their point of view.
It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks no matter what color they are. No one's opinion is going to change the facts of Barry Bonds' career.

I think I saw this on my SAT:
If all MLB players use steroids,
All MLB Home Run champions are MLB players.
and all MLB Home Run champions are tested for steroids,
the all MLB Home Run champions are guilty of steroid abuse.
Just ask Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Frank Thomas, Jose Canseco, Juan Gonzales, or anyone else.

if he wasn't going for the record would you even care?
innocent until proved guilty.
baseball is Americas "white man game"they do not want to believe a arrogant black man can hold the most hallowed record in sport.trust me.....people now say Aaron is a classy guy.when he was going for the record ,he was not considered so "classy'.he received so many death threats that it wasn't funny.now that mainstream has gotten used to him holding the record ,seeing that he is not controversial,they don't want what they view as a "angry black man,who doesn't appease them or the media,as the new record holder.get over it.....its gonna happen.
