Makes Deal With Federal Prosecutors; Atlanta QB Loses Another Endorsement Deal

This is not a racial, this is animal cruelty, so don't pull the race card on this one. If Bret Farve did the same thing I would be upset with it to.

i think that it is a crying shame that under the cloak of anonymous - white America brings their real face to the dance. It is beyond amazing that they throw words around like "thug" and gather all black male athletes into that bucket and do so with disdain. This is of course is all done on the DL (on the down low) and while they cheer their personal favorite team to the championship - all done of course on the backsides of the thugs they secretly find appalling.

This type of white America cracks me up - cause this is all driven out of fear. They are afraid - fearful that they will lose their place in line as black America rises. Their secret fear that they are lacking, over-marketed, not worth their place in line in the first place drives this insecurity.

Any time you gather a group and label them - it is called racism. You are a racist. A pure - D - hater of another race and you feel some false superiority that is not even warranted. You are no better - no grander and as foul as can be by spouting ridiculous rhetoric.

And then there's the issue of the "thug" like behavior among professional black athletes. Although it seems not to be that much of an issue in the NFL, it runs rampant in the NBA. Although dog fighting has been around for ages, it's been romanticized by Rap artists such as DMX and others in the black community. To have a college educated, professional athlete be involved in the same cruel and sadistic acts as some street thug shows that there are some fundamental problems with that community as a whole. And then to have other professional black athletes say on camera that they don't see anything wrong with it and don't see what the big deal is just reinforces my comment.

"Isn't it odd that this keeps getting brought up when NAACP has hardly said much about it?"

"So why does this keep coming up? I bet I know why...this has been the all-day banter of hate radio, hasn't it?"

Because someone is pointing out the hypocricy of the NAACP automatically makes it "hate"? Almost immediately after the Duke rape case became known, the local NAACP chapter was on the news talking as if the lacrosse players were already guilty. Their actions and comments created a ripple effect that DA Nifong took advantage of to further his own agenda. Even after it began to look obvious that there were many holes in the case, the NAACP and friends rode the race waves as long as they could. When it was finally made clear that the Duke players were not guilty, instead of taking responsibility for jumping the gun and ruining the lives of those young men, the NAACP simply packed up and left.

Now that a black professional athlete is being accused of commiting a felony that could end his professional career, the NAACP is all about due process and not jumping to conclusions. It makes me wonder if the NAACP would be that involved if Vick was a lineman or running back instead of a starting QB.

The very things about this case that annoys me is the hypocrisy amongst the corporations and the media and the slant that they report the "news".
Michael Vick is alleged to have supported underground dog fighting and everyone wants to lynch him and disparage him and tell him how horrible a human being he is.
Should I ever feel the urge to rape, I'll be sure to put on my Kobe Bryant jersey. Should my girlfriend find out, I'll just slip on my Rae Carruth jersey as I throw her in the trunk and I can go to court wearing either my Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco or Sammy Sosa jury to the trial and blame it on a chemical imbalance from steroid use.
I don't know who to worry about more, Michael Vick or the media who portray crimes against humans as fluff while portraying cruelty to animals as a crime against humanity.

I wish I had a couple Vick trading cards, in twenty years they will be worth millions due to rarity.
