The hero worship can only take folks so far, the NAACP should remember that Vick's main accusors are now his friends...all black folks as well! I understand the hesitation of the black community to fall into blind acceptance of a justice system that has failed them so often, but this is NOT the case to take a stand behind...Vick has now admitted his guilt...the fat lady has sung, Elvis has left the building, Jim Morrison has pulled has pants back up...it's over!

I know that there are some that will not understand where I'm coming from on this but I'm going to say it anyway. Vick has not admitted much. Please, please don't take this as I'm saying he's innocent because I'm not but I've known guys in other situations where they took deals for things they were innocent of because they knew that if it went to trial and they lost (and in this country, we should know by now that anything can happen at trial), they would get far worse.

But to the original point, u are right. This is not the case to stand behind. The NAACP is a very hypocrital organization. They try to make it seem like they are speaking for all black people when in actuality, they are speaking for very few. Same goes for Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. I don't know who voted them the unofficial president and vice president of black America.......but I'd like to demand a recount.

the naacp exists for itself. to feed itself, fund itself, it is a business after all.


as for vick, and appropriate punishment, i agree 100% that the penalties handed out in many instances is an outrage. none more so recently IMO than the woman who shot her husband in the back and killed him, and is already free.

martha stewart spent more time in jail than many violent criminals. absolutely too many sentences for probation handed out. problem is not enough jail space. so save jail space for violent offenders, and slap those such as stewart with a hefty fine.

This is also true. I do believe that white America has more love for dogs than people. There was someone that once said that white people would rather kiss a dog on the mouth than kiss a black person.


Hey that's pretty good!

I believe still true in many cases...although this fine white person will take a nice kissy-poo from a BrownSugar over a wuffie ANYDAY!


I am beginning to like you a lot more...although I won't kiss you.

Perhaps GoovesInsideHisHeadHO might.




Not that you're interested.

Angry little man has genetal herpes methinks.
I have heard the outbreaks can bring on these moodswings.

Do the sores actually ooze, or they just arise in a deadly undercover fashion... ? I have limited experience.
