Michael Vick: Adding Insult to Black People's Injury

Full story: www.freezerbox.com

Wait a minute -- what injury did Michael Vick inflict on black people? Since when are an individual's crimes a reflection on his race? It's not Vick's crimes that reflect badly on his race. It's the reactions of black people -- a few of them anyway.

I feel the same way about many Caucasians. All the name calling has got to stop. I like Mike Vick. Would it feel better for you if I were Caucasian?

One young (black) man posted, "Michael Vick makes us all look bad."

No, Vick only made Vick look bad.

The thing is,this has nothing to do with race!A couple of years ago I had a botfriend from another race(he was Mexican)and the relationship fell apart(he acted up). I could have said,oh I guess "those people "were right. Mexicans are bad people. did i do that?no. because he acted up because that's what he chose to do as a man.
that doesn't mean I enjoy being called racist for comdemning Vick. I don't,in fact I am quite offended and think the people who say it are idiots. I have to remember too,that this is a blog,not high school,not college,etc.I haven't been on a forum yet that there wasn't name -calling and just plain juvenile behavior. I was on one for awhile last year that had nothing to do with race or Vick or animals and it was still about this bad.When I leave for work I remember the blog is at home.

Please explain Fa'moon, who has called you racist for being a Vick basher. I've not read many of your posts, but the one's I have are satiral in nature.
