Does anyone know what the statistcs are in the general public of whites versus blacks with dog fighting? There is much of this going on that is caught and does NOT involve someone in the public eye. I have a feeling it just may be more racial than you think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551930000416978345.post-67119588850108642712007-08-31T18:33:00.000-07:002007-08-31T18:33:00.000-07:00"Put the race card back in the deck and keep shuff..."Put the race card back in the deck and keep shuffling."<BR/><BR/>Consider why it's even in the deck and ask me that again.

Do you seriously think that if Peyton Manning had done the same thing, it wouldn't have been even bigger news than it was with Michael Vick? If a purple NFL star from Antarctica had done the same thing, it would have been big news.

In fact we aren't mad at all. He will get what he deserves. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, there is a strange subplot we must confront when things like this happen, and that is comparison. With a history of unfair treatment and coverage from the same sources and governing bodies that are still very much in place today, why wouldn't we examine each incident with a fine tooth comb to ensure equity, which is what we all want, right? <BR/><BR/>Considering that this is the first news about the soccer player I've heard, and it's not been plastered all over ESPN, you tell me what the initial reaction should be?Jarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055106710456679987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551930000416978345.post-34516672400779416072007-08-31T06:41:00.000-07:002007-08-31T06:41:00.000-07:00How do you find some of this stuff, awesome post.....How do you find some of this stuff, awesome post...

What Vick did is disgusting, and color is absolutely irrelevant. Obviously African Americans (blacks? not sure what's politically correct these days) aren't happy that the perp was one of their own, and understandably so. But I hate to see people like Jesse Jackson coming out and saying that the public reaction would be different if a white man was at the center of the ring. It's unfair and untrue.Kevin Haywardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775525614447976322noreply@blogger.com
