I don't know much about you, nor your opinions regarding anything including the Vick case. What I don't understand is how much emotional investment you place in validation via the responses in this thread (and others).
Someone rubs you the wrong way on a forum, just like in real life, someone endears themselves to you, just like they do in real life. You can't please everyone, but thankfully, many people can empathize with others' faults.
people treated black people like animals for hundreds of years and it was considered normal. like animals. beat them, whipped them, enslaved them. tortured them, raped their women. and i still dont give a fuck about that
maybe in 200 years when we realize animals can talk and are actually a different race of people, we might start letting them vote.
What a stupid way to justify something, The injustice now is that people know better and to be out right cruel to something or someone is just wrong, I'm not saying slavery or the way black people were treated was right in anyway but to try and find a similarity between actions from 1870 to the present is just fucken ridiculous. Why not bring up something about apartheid while your at it
