Black Racists Support Vick

August 25, 2007

On August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King gave his famous “I have a dream speech” in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. There are a couple passages appropriate today as it relates to the football player Michael Vick. They are:

In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.

and

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Too many blacks, including the NAACP have been blindly vociferous about their support of Vick. They ignore the allegations of animal abuse in his dog fighting business and claim he is being unfairly treated because he is black. They clearly and repeatedly imply a racist reason for any charges or criticism against him. Their racism blinds them to the truth.

The issue here is what Vick did or did not do. It is also about the content of character.

Vick lied when he said he had nothing to do with dog fighting at his home. He admitted his role later and plead guilty. He is a criminal with a bad character not worthy of emulation or support. His actions were despicable and inhumane and show a demonic element of his soul.

By coming to his aid and immediately dealing the “race card”,  Vick’s supporters are racist and deluded. They have not approached this in a dignified way nor with discipline as King admonished. They drink from the cup of bitterness and hatred of whites.

They accuse and now must stand accused as Vick is…. of having bad character.

Shame on them.
