And I still love how people like Thunderhorse make this a race issue with Vick. I think black America (whatever the fuck that is, I still don't understand why people seem to think that we need to describe things like that) just want to support him because he is black. It's similar to the O.J. Simpson trial and how blacks fucking cheered because he was acquited. It sure had nothing to do with him being a great guy and being innocent, but everything to do with his race. That's about as ignorant as you can get.
And no I don't think everyone feels that way obviously.
centuries of being oppressed tends to have that affect.
Black America was "cheering" because of the fact there was a time, not so long before Simpson's time, that a Black Man would never have gotten a fair trial. Seeing a black man beat the justice system that had
never protected us in the first place was reason enough to be joyous.
White people are still angry about that, SO angry in fact, that they STILL bring this up, despite the fact that it was nearly 20 years ago. Even now, while Simpson is in prison, White America
continues to voice their displeasure with how that whole mess was handled.
Am I crazy for finding it a bit odd that Michael Vick spent more time in Prison for killing animals then Stallworth did for running someone over drunk? even if I find it odd, and even if I'm alone in that feeling (which I'm not :smug: ), What more do you people want from Vick?
Hillis isn't beating out Vick
White America (Twigg) is outraged
once again Michael Vick will be the face of the NFL, and every black kid in America is going to want to play quarterback (which means shortage of pocket passers for obvious reasons)
