who wudda thunk it? playing the race card to defend someone who is a subhuman animal torturer?
i've written about vick twice (once earlier today). i've written about animal abusers WAY more than twice. MOST of whom had skin the color of new fallen snow (well you get my drift so to speak). the pig and dog fights i wrote about yesterday (the video was rife with WHITE faces, nary a person of color in sight) had no color attached to them.
want to bring color into this? WELL I EFFING DON'T. ANYONE that tortures animals is beyond redemption and the scum of the earth.
this goes to labs to bull fights to cock fighting to some little effed up kid setting his (almost always male) neighbor's cat on fire.
THEY ARE ALL SICK F**KS PERIOD. how DARE you make this about the color of vick's skin or what goes on or doesn't go on in the 'ghetto' (by the way, vick's house is HARDLY the 'ghetto'). IT'S NOT
Tossing Vick and Young Blacks to the Dogs
By Earl Ofari Hutchinson, New America Media
Professional dog fighting is a big, and expanding international business that’s way out of the reach of most poor young blacks.
West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd trembled with rage on the Senate floor as he lashed out at the barbarity of dog fighting. Byrd, a well-known inveterate animal lover, didn’t mention star Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick by name in his animal defending tirade. Vick has been indicted on federal charges linked to gambling and dog fighting. But Massachusetts Senator John Kerry did mention Vick. He demanded that the NFL suspend Vick. There was no hint that they singled out Vick for attack for any reason other than that they were enraged that a high profile athlete had abused animals and thereby sullied sport.
But the Humane Society of America, the legion of animal rights groups, and a handful of sports commentators that want Vick’s head skipped the racial subtleties and virtually declared that dog fighting is the “sport” of the ghetto, glorified by rappers, indulged in with bloody relish by gang members, and now by black athletes like Vick.......
