Quote
a question posed by one juror about Greg Anderson, the athlete's beleaguered friend and trainer. "With all the money you make, have you ever thought of maybe building him a mansion or something?" Bonds replied, "One, I'm black. And I'm keeping my money. And there's not too many rich black people in this world. And I'm keeping my money. There's more wealthy Asian people and Caucasian and white. There ain't that many rich black people. And I ain't giving my money up. That's why."

I'm not a betting man, but I'd bet that some remuneration is flowing or will flow between Mr. Bonds and Mr. Anderson. You're a class act Mr. Bonds.

There ain't that many rich black people.

I wish there were one less.  What a jackass.

If anything, he'd probably say that due to all the hardships he's suffered in life as a result of being a black man, he's entitled to the extra advantage of steroids and HGH, and probably quite a bit more as well.  He and Joe Morgan should have some kind of club with a secret handshake.
