Henry Aaron put up with a lot of racist BS when chasing Babe Ruth's home run record.  He has stated that he kept a lot of the mail he received as a reminder of how racist the country was.  He was asked recently why he kept all that old mail and part of his response is shown above.  His response has brought on a whole new barrage of hate mail, many laced with racist slurs.  We still have a long way to go towards enlightenment.
