Mike Vick

Mike Vick, what to say? First, he’d be so much better off if dopes like Stefon Marberry and the Atlanta branch of the NAACP would just shut up. Marberry is the witless NBA player whose talent and intelligence is apparently limited exclusively to launching a sphere into a hoop raised ten feet off the ground.

Stephon tried to defend Vick by comparing dog fighting to hunting. Where to start? Well how about with the obvious.

While one may not agree with hunting, it is a legal activity. Dog fighting is not.

Legal hunting provides hundred of millions of dollars for the protection of wilderness. Dog fighting does not.

Legal hunting provides a means to protect wildlife in the off season, thin herds to ensure adequate food and habitat is available while maintaining a healthy vibrant stock. Dog fighting does not.

Aside from the occasional prize for the biggest animal taken in season or particular hunt, hunters don’t gamble on the hunt. People engaged in dog fighting do, another illegal activity.

A hunter’s skill determines the outcome of the hunt. Good hunters take only reasonable shots that will bring the animal down cleanly to limit the animal’s suffering. Dog fighting is a barbaric form of entertainment where the entire event is set up so that the dogs suffer to maximum degree possible.

Real hunters eat what they kill. Except for Koreans I suppose, dog fighters don’t.

Hunters enter the domain of the wildlife they hunt. If Marberry or Vick want to enter a caged circle with a dozen or so pit bulls, armed with a bow and arrow, I’d pay to watch that, bet on the dogs and stay until the dogs had eaten their fill.

Then there’s the NAACP race hustler down in Atlanta who thinks Vick is getting raw deal because he’s black. No, he’s in trouble because he’s a cruel creep who has broken the law in about a dozen ways. Even as such; Vick is more likely to get “a deal” rather than a “raw deal” precisely because he is black and a celebrity at that.

Then Mr. NAACP went on to wonder why there are a disproportionate number of blacks and Hispanics in our prisons. Ok, let’s start with obvious.

Because black on black crime in the nation is an epidemic.

Because illegal Hispanic aliens are executing young blacks in our cities.

Because (g)assbag prosecutors insist on putting Hispanic Border Patrol agents in jail for doing their job.

Because out of wedlock births and fatherless homes in minority communities has become the norm.

Because the drop out rate in minority schools is appalling.

Because drug use in the minority communities is rampant.

Because an accepted and “respectable” hip-hop industry makes millions of dollars peddling crap that glorifies all of the destructive behavior above; the very behavior that is more likely than not going to lead to poverty and/or incarceration.

Of course when whitey points these things out, he’s a racist. When a Bill Cosby points them out, he’s an Uncle Tom. When Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ignore these problems while blaming everything on whitey, they become black leaders. It’s just easier to blame the mess in your front yard on the landlord than to go out and clean it up.
