Barry Bonds says Boston's 'too racist' for him

Bonds on racism: 'It ain't changing'

Barry Bonds is open to ending his career in the American League as a designated hitter -- just not in Boston.

The Boston Globe reported in Friday's editions that Bonds said the town was "too racist for me" and that he would "never play there."

According to the report, Bonds is relying on word of mouth for his opinion.

" only what guys have said," he told the paper, "but that's been going on ever since my dad was playing baseball. I can't play like that. That's not for me, brother."

2. Boston is no more racist than most large cities. There are neighborhoods

that whites should avoid and there are the same for blacks. In most neighborhoods and the Down Town area of Boston whites, blacks,Latinos Orientals, whatever get along just fine with each other. Convention goers of all ethnic groups attending the convention should be just fine. There are certain areas one group or the other should probably avoid. Speak with some locals,they should be of help in this regard. ...Oscar
