Is the Vick case all about race?

Question

I think mike Vick is going to win this case. Taylor is the guilty one all the way and they are just trying to bring Vick down because vick threw him off the property. Race also plays a factor in what people think about this case too.

Answer 1

nah i dont think so...he was fighting dogs...how is it about race? im not getting that aspect. i mean i agree that if convicted, it shouldn't be because of his race, but i just dont see how this is about race.

Answer 2

Don't Think So "Homey" Why Is The Race Of A Criminal An Issue ? Sorry But If Your Behind Gets Caught Doing Wrong, As The Old Man Said Ya Gotta Pay The Fiddler.He Could Be White as A Ghost..I Say If He Is Found Guilty, Then He should Get The Max...Fighting Dogs, Is As Bad As Fighting Children...It Also Creates A Very Bad Animal..It Is Ridiculous

Answer 3

Oh so you think Michael Vick will be found not guilty? Wow, you and about 3 other people in the US.

Taylor is giving everything up to the feds, and Vick is in a heap of trouble, no matter what YOU think.

All about race huh? Then why are there so many other professional black athletes that are not in trouble and have not been in trouble, who are successful and worthy of their positions in society, and respected for the exemplary lives they are leading?

Put that race card back in the deck and play it when it is actually warranted.

Answer 4

Sorry man, but you haven't read the facts of the case. There were undercover agents attending the dog fights and Vick was there. They have so much evidence on him there's no way you can say he had nothing to do with it. How is this all about race? If he was a white guy and was doing the same stuff, would the Feds have gone after him? I don't know the answer to that. But he was involved with this. If you go read the evidence they have on him you'll see this.

Answer 5

~Of course the case is about race. Vick was trying to figure out whether Rottweilers were superior to pit bulls so he would know where to put his money down. I don't think he should be on trial. I think he should be swabbed down with ground meat and thrown in the ring with the puppies.

I am sure that his land and kennels were being used without his knowledge or consent and I will wait for the jury to convict him before I do. The upside is, maybe the Falcons can actually field a good quarterback this season. If Vick could throw a pigskin as well as he apparently can throw a dog, maybe he could have amounted to something on the field. At least now I think I understand why he was such a good runner. He probably trained his own dogs and didn't have the guts to face them if they got loose. Call me racist but white or black, he'd still be an animal.

Answer 6

You Big Daddy it only does because the Brutha's make it out to be, Its more about some cat with $$$ than Brains who has made some very shady decisions on who he hangs with, Had Ron Mexico used his head and separated his past from what should be a very positive future and made the right big boy choices he would have never been in this negative spot lite. Look this cat Taylor is Bad Newz all they way so should want to pay you $130mil with over 30mil up front don't you think you could leave the hangers on who will drag you down alone?

Answer 7

True but not all about race.
There are many factors but an interesting one is backleash from OJ ... which was 99.9% guilty but got set free b/c of high priced lawyers,crooked cops & race. The race card is a good play b/c a black juror understands some of the bias against average blacks by law enforcement. But this is a pampered athlete coddled by everybody until this crime.

Answer 8

i think in harmless till shown in charge. i do no longer think of it is acceptable that he can not prepare together with his team and his sponsers are pulling their endorsements. What did he do incorrect. He owned the homestead that has information of canines battling and is accused of being in touch with the canines battling. He should not be suspended from his activity for something he hasn't been shown answerable for - yet. i don't be conscious of ways you think of that's a racial concern whilst human beings held signs and indications that Vick is overpaid! of direction he's overpaid, he's an athlete. All athletes are overpaid. The pink Sox paid $one hundred million money for Matsusaka. Is he overpaid? specific! So people who say he's overpaid are racist against eastern? No. it somewhat is in basic terms stupid, asserting that's a race concern using fact he's overpaid. it is 2 separate matters. he's an overpaid athlete...who's african-american.

Answer 9

Although he's innocent until proven guilty, and I haven't seen any conclusive evidence of his involvement other than hearsay, he not being given the benefit of the doubt by anyone. I don't think race is the reason as much as the fact that he's not well like by the media or the fans. He's getting the Martha Stewart treatment. She went down not because of what she did, but because people loved to hate her.

I'm sure there are people who judge Vick by his race, but they are in the extreme minority.

Answer 10

Race doesn't alter my view on this subject at all. I think Vick is involved...the dog fighting has been going on for quite sometime, not just recently. And if he does get convicted, I hope he gets the maximum sentence allowed. I have seen the pictures of the dogs found on the property. That is SICK and CRUEL.

Answer 11

The only people who think this is about race are racists who make everything about race. He's accused of breaking the law...pure and simple. What? because he's black, he should be excused from following the law?
If anyone actually thinks this is about race, I suggest they seek therapy...maybe a psychologist can help a person learn how to use a little common sense
