OJ Junior

The Michael Vick case has truly become a famous/racial case, as was the OJ case.

When OJ was acquitted, black america (or, most of black america, and I seem to remember not the "upper crust" black america) cheered and jumped for joy, claiming a victory for black america. Because they began to see the case NOT as a murder trial, which is as it should have been viewed, but as a black man being tried by a bunch of white racists. Not being black, I'm not sure where this line was crossed, but truly am confused as to this leap of reasoning. Perhaps because the victims were white and the accused black, they saw it as a white legal system coming down hard on the black man, I'm not sure. Perhaps they saw this as a racially motivated trial?

Let me say that I believe that ANY prejudice against minorities, be it blacks, hispanics, or even the fairer sex, is too much. But that doesn't change the fact that in many (deep woods southern?) places, there is hatred against blacks.

But you BETTER BELIEVE that reverse racism exists in the world today too. You cannot have heads without tails.

Michael Vick has become the latest poster child for black america and their "struggle" against a white dominated society. I was watching the ESPN round table about this, and Neil Boortz (someone who I generally dislike) made an excellent point in saying that "people who don't believe that Michael Vick has committed a crime here are doing him a disservice" - and HE GOT BOOED! You're shitting me. The audience looked to be 95% black, and almost all of them were in support of Vick being let off the hook. How ignorant are these people?! Is it because Michael Vick is black being tried in Virginia that they want to automatically speak out against Whitey and say he's innocent? Is it because he's an athlete, and a black one at that, who is famous and such, and they want to overlook his transgressions because of this? It's unbelievable, the unwavering support he's gotten. Even Whoopi Goldberg says "there are places 'in Michael Vick's south' where dog fighting is common".

BIG FREEKIN DEAL you moron! It DOESN'T MATTER! It still A FELONY! A CRIME! AGAINST THE LAW!

I don't have any issue with Michael Vick paying his debt to society, getting freed after his time is done, then working hard to MAYBE return to the NFL. To play again. To make his living. That, to me, is fair. But these complete idiots who just want to support Vick because a) he's famous, and b) he's black, without any regard to the fact that he broke the law, just propogate anti-white attitudes and ignorance among the black community.

I'm all for giving and providing Michael Vick support. As friends, as family members, as fans. BUT, do not blind yourself to the fact that he broke a federal law - it doesn't matter whether he killed dogs, or sold drugs, or molested children, he BROKE THE LAW and should do his time. Do not sit there and say "well, he killed dogs and broke the law, but he's our poster child for the successful black athlete and we need to NOT let him get convicted, so we'll ignore the preponderance of evidence against him and protest his arrest, even though he's been indicted by a grand jury."

Black america is fooling itself; Michael Vick needs to be punished for breaking the law, simple as that. Then, after his debt is paid to society, he can return and move on to the next phase of his life; and hopefully provide a positive lesson for the black community. Sorry if I'm skeptical.

EDIT: Just noticed that Vick tested positive for marijuana...frankly, I'm not sure when his stupidity will end...and Judge Hudson won't look upon this "screw you" arrogance very lightly.
