Support Of Vick Exposes Blacks & NAACP PDF Print E-mail

Am I the only person who thinks there's something wrong with the NAACP standing up for Michael Vick in a dogfighting case but attacking Donovan McNabb over all the Terrell Owens nonsense.

Does it make sense to you? Here you have the NAACP speaking out on behalf of Michael Vick who has admitted guilt. They demand that he be treated fairly. A couple of years ago you had the head of the NAACP here in Philadelphia, Jerry Mondesire, coming out criticizing McNabb for his play and his handling of the Terrell Owens incidents. You would figure that a guy like McNabb who has never been in any trouble and done tons of charity work would get the nod over Vick, who has never been arrested by the police but, he supposedly gave a women herpes in the "Ron Mexico incidence" and he had the marijuana smelling bottle at the airport Rather than this trouble excluding Vick from NAACP support, it qualifies him for it. Poor leadership is one of the major factors that has a good percentage of "Black America" headed backward.

Also notice that you have a lot more black people speaking up for Michael Vick in this dogfighting case than you had supporting McNabb when he dealing with Terrell Owens. Black people call 610-WIP and question Donovan McNabb's blackness because he came from a two parent family and has never been in any trouble with the law.

You'll see support rise for Michael Vick after he's sentenced and does his time. This criminal jail culture and the acceptance of it, permeates much of Black America. Kobe Bryant became a"real brother" when he got charged with rape.

People in the sports world foolishly single out black athletes as being spoiled because of the athletic prowess. That's not the major factor in why so many get in trouble with the law. Most of these athletes came up in this "Criminal Culture" where most of the men in their lives have been to prison or been in trouble with the law. Going to jail or prison is a "badge of honor". Having an attitude, being angry and mad is part of being a "real brother".

If a black athlete just does his job and refuses to be a sulking trouble maker, then he's not a "real brother". You saw that in the case of McNabb and Kobe before he got in trouble. Somebody as talented as Barry Bonds can still make millions and be angry with his bosses, but the millions of black kids nationwide are going to remain jobless and without an education, if they don't get a different attitude. A "real brother's" attitude will keep you poor, jobless and in prison.

People in the sports media continuing saying black athletes are spoiled when the truth of the matter is, they're just trying to fit it with their peers.

Bucs Player Passes Breath Test, Is Charged With DUI
By Stephen Thompson of The Tampa Tribune

Published: August 24, 2007

PINELLAS PARK - Tampa Bay Buccaneer David Boston was arrested Thursday night on charges of driving under the influence.

Boston, 29, who lives in Cooper City, was found passed out at the wheel of a dark red Range Rover at 49th Street and Park Boulevard, Pinellas Park police Capt. Sanfield Forseth said. The vehicle's engine was running.

Boston told a Pinellas Park police officer he had left Orlando's Celebration area and was heading to Tampa International Airport, Forseth said.

After having Boston complete a field sobriety test, the officer concluded he had probable cause to charge Boston with driving under the influence of a controlled substance or alcohol, Forseth said in a prepared statement.

At 8:30 p.m., Boston was taken to the Pinellas County Jail, where he was booked on a charge of driving under the influence.

Breath tests indicated there was no alcohol in his system, and the results of a urine test are pending, Forseth said.

It was looking like he might actually make a team somewhere.....so much for that.

Top 10 reasons to be happy you're Mike Vick...

10. All of this controversy over dog fighting, makes people forget how much of a lousy QB you are.

9. You can eat all the Twinkies, and Slim Jims you want locked up. Ask Tank Johnson.

8. Your recent troubles have saved the world from buying your ugly sneakers.

7. You will be playing prison league football, so you have a chance of actually winning a championship.

6. Your Jersey might be off the shelf, buy your Dog Chew Toy is selling great.

5. Forget a water bottle, now you get to hide your weed up your ass. That's much cooler.

4. Your speed, and elusiveness will help you avoid getting "shanked" in the yard.

3. You don't have to worry about hanging with the wrong crowd anymore, because all of your friends snitched on you.

what was in the water bottle again, Mike?

This goes beyond the normal realm of stupidity.  This isn't like Allen Iverson trying to "keep it real" or like Pacman Jones staying true to his "thug life" roots...  Vick seriously is repeatedly messing up his life further and further with every decision he makes.

It's highly moronic self-destructive behavior... kind of like the way he plays quarterback.

He's being persecuted, plain & simple.
