In this episode, I talk about Michael Vick. I did a few media interviews about Vick recently and I have made some of these points very clearly:
1) I find it amazing how people have no problem throwing away the life of a black man over some damn dogs. Would we do the same thing to a hunter who shoots animals in the head and stuffs them on the mantle? No we would not.
2) Michael Vick is a young man who deserves a second chance. He has time to make up for his mistakees and they should allow him to do so. This notion that committing a crime means that everyone has the right to take everything from you, including your ability to vote or make a living is nothing more than a modern day lynching (recall, when black men were lynched, it was not because they were black. It was because someone had convinced others that he was a bad person).
3) The ease with which we imprison this man is reflective of the fact that America has a sick epidemic when it comes to the incarceration of black men: there are more black men in prison in the US than all over the entire world. Ronald Reagan, in his efforts to destroy this country, led to massively expanded incarceration rates for black men that are destroying our nation. This is a SICKNESS.
4) If you think that Vick is any worse than Paris Hilton, the consistent drunk driver who could kill an entire family after one night of partying, then something is wrong with you. What is most ironic is that when she went to jail and cried, they let her out. The same would probably not work for Michael Vick or any black man in America. This is reflective of the fact that white females have, by far, the lowest incarceration rates in America. They are protected and black men are exterminated.
Racism is written all over this case. I don't blame you if you don't see it, because like HIV, racism is a disease that most carriers do not know they possess, and they easily infect others. The difference is that this is also an intergenerational infection.

yes, racism is written all over this....view the poem on my blog site....Mike will be in my prayers...we need to rally to get him back in the NFL when he is released.....poets-life.blogspot.com
No racism is not written all over this! Are black people racist agaimst blacks? I heard Africans are!It takes a racist to know a racist and Vick got what he deserved! Anyone that want to use race is the racist! EVOLVE
We are a NATION OF LAWS ! OBEY THE LAW like everyone else!
We are also a nation that makes laws based on what makes sense. It's stupid that people go hard on Vick for what he did, but they don't go after deer hunters. You are clearly off the mark....Uncle Sam
What do black people want? Immunity or equality? Michael Vick committed a heinous, sadistic crime for over six years, which hardly indicates a mistake.
When Paris Hilton kills animals for her entertainment, get back to us.
When hunters starve, torture, feed gunpowder, shoot up with agression drugs, pull a deer's teeth with no anesthesia, forces deer to fight with other tortured, starving deer, then hang the ones that loose, and IF they survive that, hold the deer's head in a bucket of water to drown the deer, get back to us on that one too.
Michael Vick IS a monster, and he is right where he belongs. He should be there longer than he was sentenced for, he should be there for the rest of his life.
Your excusing this monster for what he did is not helping your cause. He is a disgrace to your race, and your defense of such a monster is simply causing his sadistic and heinous acts to turn those into racists that otherwise would not be such.
Michael Vick is the most hated man in the US today, and your blog here is absolutely mind boggling--You are an idiot--and you do not represent your race very well--Just another Rev Wright--
