Hank Aaron Compares Republicans That Oppose Obama To KKK
Atlanta CBS ^ | 4/9/14

Posted on 04/09/2014 10:32:40 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

...Hank Aaron compared Republicans that oppose President Barack Obama to the Ku Klux Klan....

“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.”

this crap is getting old.

Indeed it is. People who aren't racists are being called racists, and it's even gotten so bad people are accusing others of calling them racists when they are not doing so.

Everything is all about race now, whether it is or not. It's even meta-race.

If anybody is a racist, it’s Hank Aaron. Just because he’s good at hitting a baseball doesn’t mean he’s good at anything else.

Democrat negroes support Democrat negroes , no matter what .
And if certain other negroes do not support the Democrat negroes that they support , then they attack those negroes that oppose the Democrat negroes that they do support . Those non Administration aligned negroes are seen as ‘Uncle Toms ‘

My heart breaks when I see this. Hammerin' Hank was a childhood hero to me.

He set his record due to his launching pad stadium. Ruth also had the short right field in Yankee Stadium. Willie Mays got his the hard way in windy (with the wind almost always blowing in) Candlestick.

Look folks....give Hank Aaron just a little slack!!! Obama has screwed the country up so bad....African-Americans will suffer for the next hundred years for supporting him.

Have you noticed that the venom coming form the mouths of the majority of African-American spokesmen & women is filled with hate and envy!!! They know they screwed up.....they just don’t know how to get out of it!!!

So....out comes the race card card!!! But......Hank....it just won’t work this time. Best you folk march down to the White House & tell Obama to resign and go back to the gutter of Chicago from whence he came!!!

The deeply prejudiced are unaware of their own prejudice and deal with it by projecting it onto others while still feeling the guilt. Thus we have the psychological wall that prevents legitimate criticism of anyone black without accusations of prejudice.

Obvious to some, wordy to others, but I am getting sick of it. Wake up, Obama supporters. You are the ones with the problem, not us.

Heartbreaking is right. How utterly callous of heart is it for him to speak like this. How many of his fans loved him? Rooted for him? Treasured his player card? And now he spits in their face.

How ungrateful, bitter, and unkind can a person be? Did he Aaron run across bad apples in his lifetime? Sure, who hasn't.

How fantastic that Aaron cannot see his ugly irony of portraying himself the victim of racism while in the same breath denounces vast swaths of people as bigots. Mr. Aaron ought to take the log out of his own eye and then apologize to those many who he has impugned and besmirched.

Just more proof that the Racialists have been successfully indoctrinating “their people” that any challenges they face is racism. Hank experienced actual racism and struggled mightily, resulting in a great personal accomplishment. Yet, he has traded his individual character to the collective victimization of his entire race.

It is rather sad that this happens in America.

What an ignoramus to tarnish his legacy among the sentient of his fans.
Hammerin' Hank's level of political/social comprehension is down with the, "You don't like ObamaCare, you a racist" crowd.
Sad to see Aaron make such a fool of himself this late in the game.

I don’t even blame hank

Conservatives are blamed, personally, for every word that comes out of their mouths which the left doesn't like. I see no reason why we can't hold Hank Aaron to the same standard. Sure, I blame him. He's wrong, and he needs to be held accountable.
