Today I read about Michael Vick and it made me think: When will Black People stop thinking they are victims, and why are we called racist if we don't agree with stupidity?
"ATLANTA - An NAACP leader said Michael Vick should be allowed to return to the NFL, preferably the Atlanta Falcons, after serving his sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation."
Let all this soak in a minute. The NAACP says Michael Vick should be reinstated following his guilty plea for dog fighting. There is a serious role model problem for kids today and it is the worst in the Black community. Reinstating Michael Vick following his guilty plea is an outrage, and just what Black kids do not need as a role model.
I grew up in the military and lived with Black and Hispanic families. There was no attitude or feeling that anyone was better. My family was Irish and we had our share of name calling. There is a reason why they called the truck, to pick up drunks, the "Paddy" wagon. We were "micks". Dirt poor white trash. Neither of my parents graduated high school. They went to work at 14 to keep from starving. The war came along and my Dad was drafted. He found a home in the military and made one for us. He was tough Irish guy who was afraid of nothing.
Later, after college, I was surprised by the way Black people seemed to have changed. It seems that during the 60's they developed "Victim Syndrome". After a hundred years of struggle to be equal, they accepted the crap they were told by Black Leadership and resigned themselves to being America's Victims. Every time something happened to a Black Person it was because he was black. Worse, they seemed to be unwilling or unable to speak out against the things in the Black neighborhoods that were wrong.
Today only Larry Elder and Bill Cosby will tell you the truth about Black America. National Black leadership, like the NAACP, are holding on to the victim mentality and this thinking is holding back Black America. If a white man speaks out about any of these issues, he is a racist.
Michael Vick is a talented football player and one of the stupidest people on earth. He pissed away a career on dog fighting and he should not be reinstated. If a white guy did this, I would say and feel the same way. Stupidity, it seems, is color blind.

Less time and effort worrying about Michael Vick, Duke Lacrosse and Don Imus and more time and effort in finding ways to reduce black on black violent crime (at an all time high)High School drop out rates (at an all time high) signal parent households (at an all time high)This is a great country and it affords opportunity to everyone regardless of color, there's just one catch -- you have to work for it.
Add Thomas Sowell to the list of people who tell the truth about Black America
