Michael Vick not a black & white issue.....or is it?

[biteme]

There.

Don't think it's a race issue at all.. Had it been a white player, they would receive the same treatment. Probably even worse.

Gotti is no hero to me. He's a ruthless, cold blooded killer, who deserves to be where he's at. But, I hate gangsta thugs even more because they kill indiscriminately, whereas the mafia kills each other.

Why do we vilify gangster rappers and the inner city drug culture and at the same time romanticize the Mafia?

D_T

mafia types are usualy associated with the high class/finer living than your inarcisistic street rapper. also the real inner city gang bangers are in fact romanced as well just not as commercial as the mafia but they are glamorized.

half the shit you see on tv is to distract you while the real shit is going down

killing animals is sadistic, sure...but look how much newstime is spent on vick and his animals, some roids in baseball, a kidnapped girl in the bahamas...and how relatively little is spent on the rather more gravitous issue of trillions of dollars of your nations wealth being poured into a shitty middle eastern war and the economic and political apparatus being subverted to keep cash flowing where the people in power want it flowing

vick killed some dogs
bush killed thousands of people

turn that shit off people, cmon

I think someone should explain why Michael Vick is scum of the earth for shooting, drowning, electrocuting and hanging dogs meanwhile John Gotti, who probably shot, drowned, electrocuted and hung even more humans is a national hero amongst many white Americans. Why do we vilify gangster rappers and the inner city drug culture and at the same time romanticize the Mafia?

I'M JUST SAYIN!

michael vick's case embodies bloodlust and cruelty, while the mafia is just associated with greed

Gotti allegedly chainsawed a guy in his basement...no cruelty there, eh?

If that in fact happened, it depends on the circumstances. And even if he did it for thrills, it still wasn't publicized enough to influence the public's opinion of him

vick is surely not doing it for the cash, he is soley after the bloodlust. I wouldnt be suprised if he managed a wild cock fighting ring as well. at the end of the day our boy vick is looking for blood spat, the mobesters are looking for $$$ and protecting it

You're dead wrong here; just as many white kids love G-Unit as they do john gotti.
