Even so, one must look at all the opportunities that his athletic prowess has afforded him and reason that something good somewhere rubbed off. So far as I know it he hasn't killed anyone. The logic is that all people raised on poverty will be poor is wrong. I may be a difficult hurdle to overcome, but I think a shining example is Booker T. Washington. A poor man that went on to do great things and made a pot full of moolah. Furthermore, it seems veryy easy to typecast Vick as a victim of societal woes, when the truth is simple. Vick is a thug. He participated in gambling (illegal); violated interstate commerce laws( again illegal and this inclues the tax issues as well); cruelty to animals, on and on. He is a pathetic example of how a young millionaire and teenage role model should behave. He opted to pursue this nefarious activity, and chose his friends similarly. No one has come to his aid, no one has said he was innocent or made a mistake. All comments made about him or his character, from those that know him best, have said that he was stupid to do this. When one willingly skips down the dark path, well... you know the rest. Good riddance to Vick. As for the Whoopster, playing her role as a race defender - why is that needed? I don't ever remeber anyone defending any white criminals just because they were white. Crime and its defense should not be about color, but about right and wrong. Unfortunately, it seems that this point is missed and/or overlooked by Whoopi. I think you are right billb. Ms. Goldberg feels that MV is being unjustly treated because of his race, not because he participated in illegal and inhumane activities. She needs to get rid of her "blackness" knee jerk reaction and look at the reasons for this outrage against Vick. Maybe if she takes off her rose colored glasses she can actually determine right from wrong.Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601995256624285781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-78581378912629213512007-09-05T13:14:00.000-05:002007-09-05T13:14:00.000-05:00That's what "personally" means, farmer idiot.

When you preface a statement with "personally", it notifies any observers that you are no longer being objective, but subjective. <BR/><BR/>You are putting objective analysis aside for a second to inject a personal opinion. The problem comes when "observers" masquerade opinion as analysis. I did not do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-33964693834236572752007-09-05T12:08:00.000-05:002007-09-05T12:08:00.000-05:00"Personally, I think she's far less objectionable ..."Personally, I think she's far less objectionable than Rosie was."<BR/><BR/>How about your own objectivity, billb - what do you personally (...) think about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26061284.post-81713201691606154642007-09-05T11:19:00.000-05:002007-09-05T11:19:00.000-05:00Reid, while it is shocking to hear about dog fight...Reid, while it is shocking to hear about dog fighting and I abhor the thought of it, Whoopie has a point. When you grow up in neighborhoods, as Vick did, in which there is no value placed on human life, how can he be expected to have empathy for dogs that were meant to fight, especially when apparently fighting is fairly common? Yes, he should be punished, but for the interstate gambling and RICOH laws he broke, not necessarily for the dog fighting. That's a minor crime in the eyes of the law. <BR/><BR/>Whoopie is just playing her designated role as race-defender, much like black leaders did during the OJ trial. And, she's getting viewers back to the show. Personally, I think she's far less objectionable than Rosie was. <BR/><BR/>You have to keep the emotional, knee-jerk, dog-lover reaction out of it. Put it in context. Kobe possibly raping somebody didn't create as much outrage. The real crime here is the illegal gambling operation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
