lccurtis1]For all you who are critical to M. Vick and Clinton Portis. Please tell me you dont go hunting in the woods with your socially accepted white buddies because if you do shut the hell up. White people always try to be critical when it comes to black athelete's white america cant stand to see these young African Amercans make money and do the things there spoiled white society has been doing for years. Get off the bandwagon and be real about this. Anyone who has gone hunting or any other sport in which white america kills animals for game is just as guilty as M. Vick. "He without sin cast the first stone" Oh maybe you dont read the Bible either. Anyway these guys are rich and often purchase property and give to relative's or allow them to live on it, so lets stop pretending as if we dont know this. Clinton was just being sarcastic and we all know that, but the truth of the matter is why do we care? It is his property and it is his dog maybe if he had a bull fight or rodeo on his property it would be ok with white America. Hey if we are trying to throw someone under the bus what about G.W. Bush who lied about WMD's and has the entire middle east in a uproar. Bottom line people we know that these guy's are not perfect and we need to stop looking at them in that light. And as long as they are not out there killing, stealling, raping, robing, crimes in which we should really care about who really cares. Lets not allow the media to make us stupid to reallity is this really the worst thing that has happend this week? Hey what about the 88000 homeless people on skidrow. unemployment, poverty, aids, oh I can go on and on.

People who think like this are perpetuaters of hate, race, and exhibit true ingnorance of the problem. The fact that Vick and Portis are black is IRRELEVANT. What IS relevant is that Mr. Vick was hosting dog fighting on his property. IF he was indeed involved in this ILLEGAL activity he should be prosecuted REGARDLESS of what his skin color is. Mr. Portis was WRONG to condone dog fighting REGARDLESS of what HIS skin color is. This has NOTHING to do with race but EVERYTING to do with being humane to helpless animals and RIGHT and WRONG. Anyone who thinks this is a race issue is ignoring the illegality and inhumanity of a cruel and ILLEGAL activity. Those who blame race for everything are the racist themselves because they WRONGLY view any activity by minorities as OK. If anyone says anything about it they claim it's racial and use that as an excuse for the offender being prosecuted. What do you think klan members thought when they were being prosecuted for killing innocent people? Because their victims were black they TOO thought their prosecution was just the black man taking out his revenge on a white. THAT is RACIST thinking and no matter WHAT your skin color it REMAINS racist thinking. Slavery was wrong in every aspect that one can look at it. Slavery was not solely an activity of whites owning blacks but the other way around. There were also white slaves called endentured servants. No human being should own another regardless of color. Slavery ended in this country in 1865, that's 142 YEARS ago, although racism still exists. Racism ALSO isn't a white only affliction. Blacks and other races have their OWN racists who largely go ignored by many who blame whites for everything. Using racism as an excuse for committing crimes is nothing more than a COP OUT. I could sit here and make seemingly valid excuses for everything I've done wrong in my life but that would be COPPING OUT and blaming someone else for MY actions. Quit trying to make Vick and Portis look like victims of a cruel society of bigots when in reality VICK is suspected of being cruel to animals and Portis wrongly supports it. Their skin color is unrelated and unimportant to this issue.

ended in 1865? race dont play a part in a case involving a black person? you must be white, tell you what? ask GOD to turn you black and send you back to the year 1901 and the wrote:
