Rag Box Editorial: Michael Vick

Is it just us or are we the only ones who are sick of the NAACP playing the race card. Atlanta head of the NAACP, RL White wants Vick back in the NFL after he serves time for his dog fighting violation.

Where was the support for the Duke Lacrosse players when the NAACP wanted their heads on a platter? No one from the organization came forward to apologize after the truth was discovered.

The NAACP does itself no favor by playing this game. No one questions that American blacks are disproportionately represented in prisons, etc., but if you get a chance to get out of the ghetto for a cool 130 mil, get out already, and stay out. If you can't pick up a clue on that, no one should come to your rescue. And if the NAACP wants to continue along this path, then they will set themselves back to the 60's instead of looking at present reality. Vick is not a question of race. He's a question of crime. Every time someone like Michael Vick hoses up, it's a slap in the face to the NAACP, and they don't seem to understand this. And you don't get a free pass because you served time in the slums. A lot of people do that, and they don't turn into jerks like him.
