Am I the only person who thinks there's something wrong with the NAACP standing up for Michael Vick in a dogfighting case but attacking Donovan McNabb over all the Terrell Owens nonsense.
Does it make sense to you? Here you have the NAACP speaking out on behalf of Michael Vick who has admitted guilt. They demand that he be treated fairly. A couple of years ago you had the head of the NAACP here in Philadelphia, Jerry Mondesire, coming out criticizing McNabb for his play and his handling of the Terrell Owens incidents. You would figure that a guy like McNabb who has never been in any trouble and done tons of charity work would get the nod over Vick, who has never been arrested by the police but, he supposedly gave a women herpes in the “Ron Mexico incidence” and he had the marijuana smelling bottle at the airport Rather than this trouble excluding Vick from NAACP support, it qualifies him for it. Poor leadership is one of the major factors that has a good percentage of "Black America" headed backward.
Also notice that you have a lot more black people speaking up for Michael Vick in this dogfighting case than you had supporting McNabb when he dealing with Terrell Owens. Black people call 610-WIP and question Donovan McNabb's blackness because he came from a two parent family and has never been in any trouble with the law.
You'll see support rise for Michael Vick after he's sentenced and does his time. This criminal jail culture and the acceptance of it, permeates much of Black America. Kobe Bryant became a"real brother" when he got charged with rape.
People in the sports world foolishly single out black athletes as being spoiled because of the athletic prowess. That's not the major factor in why so many get in trouble with the law. Most of these athletes came up in this "Criminal Culture" where most of the men in their lives have been to prison or been in trouble with the law. Going to jail or prison is a "badge of honor". Having an attitude, being angry and mad is part of being a "real brother".
If a black athlete just does his job and refuses to be a sulking trouble maker, then he's not a "real brother". You saw that in the case of McNabb and Kobe before he got in trouble. Somebody as talented as Barry Bonds can still make millions and be angry with his bosses, but the millions of black kids nationwide are going to remain jobless and without an education, if they don't get a different attitude. A "real brother's" attitude will keep you poor, jobless and in prison.
People in the sports media continuing saying black athletes are spoiled when the truth of the matter is, they're just trying to fit it with their peers.
