Bonds... Black ?

So the headline of an editorial in SF Chronicle says Barry Bonds got picked on regarding steroids because he's black. Uh, maybe because he's known for being an arrogant jerk, and is breaking records ?

O.K., they make the point that white Mark McGwire didn't get picked on... Actually, I don't follow sports, I've only heard second-hand about Bonds being an arrogant jerk, and have no idea whether McGwire was a "nice guy" and thus avoided getting hammered for steroids.

But it did make me think. There are two white guys known for taking steroids and being arrogant jerks... AND THEY BOTH BECAME GOVERNORS ??!!! Well, there you have it.
