Why are blacks rooting for Bonds?

That said, if he'd just come clean and admit that he has cheated, I believe more people would accept him as the all-time HR leader if he would quit denying it. Also, I don't know how much the steroids actually helped him hit HRs as what they've done is helped him hit the ball 475 ft instead of 400 ft. He still had to put the ball on the bat. And it didn't hurt him one bit that when they built SBC Park, the right field wall isn't as deep as it was at Candlestick.

Bonds is going to break the Aaron's record, but history will look back at the legacy that either player left behind and they'll be remembered as this:

Aaron was a good guy who played hard and hit 755 without steroids.

Bonds was an asshole who hit hit the most home runs, but he used steroids to increase the distance on his hits and also had fences that were closer to home plate.

And I really doubt that there will never be a candy bar made in honor of Barry Bonds.

OK, yes, he is a jerk. But it is hard to not acknowledge his acheivement, which I think you are doing.

My view is that most baseball players are juiced. Baseball has let this go on and he has only played by their rules. Can't penalize him for doing what others did and excelling at his trade.

Look at Clemens. You don't think that guy didn't use something?
