The NAACP Simply doesn’t get it.

This defies logic, and I’ll say it as bluntly as possible. If Michael Vick were white, I’d want him to hang for what he did to those dogs, too. If he were hispanic, or Asian, or purple, or polka-dotted, I’d want him to hang.

Hey NAACP? On this specific issue? Shut the hell up, and purchase a clue.

Atlanta NAACP: Vick should be allowed to return.

Wow, taking him back before he’s even had the chance to say he’s sorry? I’m all for rehabilitating criminals (and he is one), but this is too much. They need to pick their battles — the NAACP’s credibility is on the line here.

I’m black and I agree with you 100 percent. Unfortunately, there is a knee jerk reaction where black people automatically support any other black person in trouble.
Some black people still believe O.J. Simpson is innocent, and some black people still came out and supported R. Kelly, even though there was video tape of him involved in kiddie porn.
