Hank Aaron was highly respected among everyone around the political spectrum, until last week. We he claimed the GOP was the KKK in “neckties and starched shirts.” Of course, the hypocrite Aaron fails to remember that the KKK Was, and still is today the Democrat party. The shooter at the Jewish Center in Kansas City was a progressive leftist Democrat who ran for Governor and Congress as a Democrat. Now, after the backlash, Henry Aaron is trying to back off his rustling hustling comments, whining like race hustlers often do claiming his words were ‘taken out of context.’

Atlanta Braves legend Hank Aaron is reportedly “upset” and “bitter” because he feels that readers — not the reporter who wrote the story — took his comments that implied those who opposed President Barack Obama’s policies now wear “neckties and starched shirts” instead of KKK hoods out of context.
And the reporter who wrote the story is claiming Aaron should not have to apologize for something he never said because Aaron was talking about CEOs, American society, and corporate America and not referring to a political party.
Last week, in a story that appeared the day before Aaron was honored for the 40th anniversary of his 715th home run that broke Babe Ruth’s record, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale quoted Aaron in a story in which Aaron expressed disappointment that there is still racism in President Barack Obama’s America.
In the story, Nightengale quoted Aaron as saying, “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.
“We have moved in the right direction, and there have been improvements, but we still have a long ways to go in the country.
“The bigger difference is that back then they had hoods. Now they have neckties and starched shirts.”
