Dr. Boyce and Tom Joyner discuss Barry Bonds, the Homerun King. In this video, Watkins uses his statistical and black sports expertise to discuss the homerun king and the record he broke. He also mentions whether or not there should be an asterisk next to Bonds' record due to steroid use. Watkins argues that if Bonds should have an asterisk, then so should Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and any player who was allowed to play during segregation, when the best black players were locked in the negro leagues. Watkins also discusses an ESPN poll in which blacks and whites see the Barry Bonds record in very different ways. Watkins argues that much of this is due to the fact that Americans have not really sat down and dealt with racism in an honest fashion, as he encourages them to do in his book "What if George Bush were a Black Man?"
Dr. Watkins has appeared on ESPN, CNN, BET, Fox News, CBS and other networks fighting for racial equality. He and Al Sharpton appeared on The Wendy Williams Experience in New York, and Watkins has also gotten into powerful feuds with Bill O'Reilly of Fox News (The O'Reilly Factor) and Sean Hannit
y of Hannity & Colmes. He has appeared with Michael Eric Dyson many times, The Rev. Jesse Jackson and other African-Americans fighting for equal rights for black people. Watkins was one of the first to bring the Jena 6 case to light in national media, and he also was the one who gave Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson the idea to attack Don Imus' corporate sponsors. It was ultimately Watkins' idea that took Imus off the air. He has recently been one of the most outspoken critics of Bill Cosby after the release of his book "Come on people." Watkins is an advocate for education and financial empowerment, and he often speaks out in defense of the poor and the hip hop community. He is also the first black finance professor in the history of Syracuse University.
