Well Boston did make a great team with Bird and McHale (both white), BUT they also loved Jim Rice.
I think Boston is a great sports town that doesn't put up with BS and tries to win in all sports. Cincy has the exact same rep, yet they have made stars of Eric Davis, Barry Larkin, Joe Morgan, and so on.
Racism truly cannot exist in sports today (not that it should anywhere). All the owners are businessmen now and watch the profit/loss. They go out and get whoever will help them win white/black/latin/asian whatever.
In the end it's all in the press a player gets. The press in a town either loves you or hates you. Perhaps Boston's press just dislikes Bonds and to him that is racist.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
