I find this a rather odd article. Susann Blanco…Bond’s first wife  was a hairdresser with a high school education and a penchant for African American athletes. She was a regular in the group of gals who follow teams around. Now there is nothing wrong with interracial marriages, women who are cosmetologists and high school diplomas. It’s just that certain of those attributes seem predominate with the white women black athletes marry. We will note that this current soon to be ex-wife is black and an attorney.

Bond’s first divorce was a huge story in San Francisco. So we all raised our eyebrows when he remarried a woman of color with several degrees. It is said that when black men marry out of their race, they marry down and when black women marry out of their race, they marry up…we’re talking social status here. I have a feeling it’s probably six in one and half a dozen in another. But I do know that Barry Bonds would have never married a black woman who was a hair dresser.  He is not a particularly nice guy, so no doubt much of what he faces, he deserves. I think the second wife made a huge effort. The first wife was in it for the dough and she got some…so all should be happy. But don’t sell this story as though that first wife was mistreated or didn’t have a clue was she was in for…the girls who travel and hang with these athletes know a great deal.

 Now the real story is how did Hank Baskett, the black football player end up with Kendra Wilkerson, the bimbo without a brain, who used to service whazhisname, the 80 year old founder of Playboy, with two other blondes?  I don’t know any man of any substance who would have gone near these three women…yet here is this 26 year old dragging this woman home and now we hear she is having his baby…Somebody explain this to me?  How did even his guy friends allow him to to do this?
