Nobody extra – Michael Vick
Nobody Asked Me But:
JIM’S WISDOM (a name, not a claim)
DOWN: Gerald Rose, the founder of New Order, a new Atlanta-based human-rights group, who said he planned to go ahead with a "major rally" for Vick at the Georgia Dome on Monday.
"People are hurt, people are angry," he said. "Being a black man, we're all trying to get to a point where Vick was at. We feel let down."
Being a black man means wanting to stage dog fights and hang dogs? I don't think so. Too many black people fight the wrong battle for the wrong hero. To America's shame, there are countless battles to be fought against racial injustice, countless heroes who stand tall in the fight. Vick isn't one of them.
If it is racist to think that Michael Vick belongs in prison rather than on a football field, then I’m a racist. But it isn’t, and I’m not!
