Being an African-American female... I do get some racial remarks thrown at me from time to time but I try and not let them bother me... but the issue I have is not about me and my every now and then racial conflicts its about a man and some dogs... Michael Fucking Vick... Now also being a African-American we really don't have that much to look at on the TV (right now) when it comes to excitement (unless you call a drive-by shooting killing 6 is exciting). Jerry Rice was beginning to fall off the map and so many black people's attention went from the NFL to the NBA but when Michael Vick was drafted he became IT. Of course he did get into some trouble with the law like any other young-minded NFL player, but this... did it. For the people that do not know... Micheal Vick has been indicted on charges stemming from dog-fighting. There are too many ways you could look at this situation. I'm going to take the "person with common sense" vs. "a plain ol' dumbass": Plain ol' Dumbass (PoD): I don't think Micheal Vick did anything! He's a good man! Common Sense (CS): Now... I'm not going to argue Micheal's morality rate here... for all I know he's a good Samaritan. But there was evidence found at his house that is usually used for dog fighting. PoD: Well how do you know that couldn't have been his friends? CS: Maybe it is... but at the same time... the shit was at HIS HOUSE!! Of course the owner of the property is going to be punished first if not anybody else. Because he consented to the use of his being used in that way- PoD: How do you know that's what he consented to? For all you know his house could have been used for training see-eye dogs? CS: You're joking right? HE LIVED IN THAT HOUSE!! He knew what the f*ck was going on in there... please don't give me that. He knew what he was doing when he allowed his friends to that type of business into his house and he also knew the risks... now it's possible his NFL career maybe over. PoD: *silence* CS: Thank you. Now as for the matter of racial lines or not... I can't honestly say I think Micheal Vick was actually involved in the whole dog fighting (besides consenting to allowing them to use his house). But on that note... so many black people believe what I have just typed and many white people will oppose what I just typed as well... and even though I am only 16 years old... I do know this... OJ Simpson was a football player... he was accused of killing his wife... he was black... the racial lines were drawn in that case as well. I just don't see how people can sit there (who have been on this earth way longer than I have) and it not bring back memories of the OJ trial... I don't even think I was born... and yet I'm asking questions seeing where I could go with this. I just say let the trial play out... if he's found guilty... many black people will hang their head in shame as another (successful) black man will waste away in prison... if hes found not-guilty... many black people will rejoice at the sound of another black man escaping the harsh grip of justice. Me?? I'll be on the racial line... awaiting the verdict. Hating the harsh reality of life |
