Mike Vick the Martyr

Fans across America, and only America, were outraged of the brutal and cruel treatment by Atlanta Falcans star QB Michael Vick in conjunction with his Bad News Kennels towards defenseless dogs. In recent events the QB was sentenced to a little over two years in prison for his role in organizing, rackateering, torturing, and killing these animals. In the event preeceding his trial we saw a huge outcry by animal rights groups particularly, rallying to make sure the "murderer" be put to justice. He made "national" headlines on a daily basis, and talk shows such as Ellen and Opera killed him on a daily basis as they took advantage to spew their Vick hate to those television viewers who were female and over fourty, sitting, outraged that a black man had done such a sinful act to dogs, not humans, but dogs.

I would like to regress at this point and say that Allen Iverson (Vick's homeboy from Newport News, VA) said it best in one of his most famous quotes. "PRACTICE? what we talking about, PRACTICE? Cause we're not talking about the game, we're talking about PRACTICE!?! mannn"

If Mr. Iverson knew he would'nt be scrutized to retirement im sure he would have a similar sentiment of the Vick situation, lets just switch dogs with PRACTICE, and humans with the game. Now I know everyone will kill me for being insensitive, and have heard this part of the argument millions of times, but thats not where I'm going with this so just hold it. This problem is deeper than using Vick as an example for hoping to stop dog fighting nation-wide. Yet thats where it stops, NATION-WIDE. America was built on a constitution for and adopted by anglo-saxon males from the late 18th century. We live in an America today where although these individuals still hold the majority the national identity is ever changing with new culture and attitudes immigrating from abroad. To make my point simple, NO WHERE BUT IN AMERICA WOULD A MAN BE IN DANGER TO GO TO JAIL FOR KILLING A DOG, and I for sure know that Mike Vick did NOT think he was breaking some law when he ran his bad news kettle. Shit.. you are not even allowed to beat your own kids in America anymore... this is WRONG, not becuase I think you should be able to abuse anyone, yet it other cultures it is only appropriate to beat your children. I think everyone heard the story of the Domincan man who was threatened by the police in New York for beating his child, promptly caught a flight to the DR and started flogging his child. When approached by a DR cop the officer kindly asked, "Want me to hold him for you." Thats just the way it is people, and America needs to be accepting of everyone else's culture and needs to ammend its values and cultures accordingly.
I had a dog for a few weeks and beat it mercilessly, because it was undisiplined and the only thing animals listen to are your foot in their mouths. White America needs to stop being so ignorant and sensitive about LIFE, thats why their children are ending up nowhere, while the minorities of the country are getting ahead.
Bottom line is that America needs to accept that different cultures raise their kids and dogs differently. If a dog attacked a human and mamed him, im sure PETA would throw its best attys infront of council to make sure the animal was not killed. As an atty in future practice, you know what I would say... "Shoot the dog in the mouth, and see if it lives or dies." Wow that was harsh, but I need to get a point across people. Becuase we talking about DOGS, not humans, DOGS.
My only hope is that this country starts to progress and understand where diverse people from differing backgrounds come from. Calling myself a proud American , I was ashamed of this nation and its sensitivities to an animal that man had taken in and domesticated because of the animals sheer stupidity to grovel for food and attention. Doesnt seem like progression of our race to me. If an alien were to fly and take a look at our country and see us picking up a dogs shit they would fly away because they would think we are crazy and too easy to please. But only if they flew past America, everywhere else they would see a foot in a dogs mouth..human domination baby.. survival of the fittest. Thats just the way it is, god bless you Mike Vick, you are a martyr to the truth that one day will be in this counties mouth.
