Someone resurrected this thread last night and now it seems there is a good reason to do so. I hesitated to post this here for fear that ya thought I was trying to raise the dead but I think this thread is exactly where the following goes.
After 17 pages of the race card and double standards I found this on CNN, taken from an article about Michael Vicks dog fighting charges:
"Dr. R.L. White Jr. accused the government of "piling on." "There's a penalty in football for piling on," White told reporters. "After a player has been tackled and somebody piles on, they're penalized for unnecessary roughness.
"Today, the NAACP blows the whistle and warns the powers that be that you are piling on." "
OK so here is my question: Just exactly how and when did this become a RACE issue warranting NAACP intervention?? AND where the hell was the NAAWP when Lance Armstrong needed them when everyone was "piling on" him for juicing? No race issue there apparently., so why is Vicks case a race issue all of a sudden?
