As has been pointed out by others, Bonds tries to paint himself as the victim of racial discrimination so that he doesn't have to face the fact that he is a major league asshole. This way, he can avoid personal responsibility for his actions by saying that everyone hates him because of his skin color and not because of his actions.
So while its definitely true that the media have often unfairly attacked Bonds and would certainly attack him if he were in Clemen's shoes, that has very little to do with his race and much to do with his history of being an asshole.
