This is some of the most ignorant shit I've ever read. Open up any history book and you'd realize that this kind of bullshit is what the majority of slave owners used to rationalize their barbarism. "Oh,well we feed em and house em and don't beat em too much, so who gives a fuck about liberty or freewill"

The fact that you brought this shit just proves that racism still exists. People are just better at being politically correct these days.

That said, the people saying that the Vick case is race based are mostly just soapboxing. They're taking advantage of a high profile case involving a black man and using it to espouse their own political or social agenda. Vick fucked up and that's pretty much it. If a good ole boy like Jeremy Shockey was doing the same thing, I don't doubt that he'd be booked and crucified my animal lovers just the same.

People who are calling it a racial agenda only make it harder to have any rational discourse about any actual racism thats going on. Same shit happened during the Imus incident. Is Imus a douchebag? Mos def, but being a senile old douchebag with a lame sense of humor doesn't make you worthy of being a focal point on a debate on race issues.

Of course if this thread is any proof, you'll tend to gain a pretty good insight into what people really believe anytime the concept of 'racism' is brought up. "We're not racist but these damn <insert race> need to stop being so uppity!"
