Shows your how narrow minded and uncreative the Coli really is.

Because he isn't black. His victim was. Simple as that.

It's all about the dogs
And PETA, there is no PETA for murderers.
Because Michael Vick was a black star QB with skills that weren't ever seen & a $100MM contract
And because Americans are obsessed with dogs.
Aaron Hernandez is a 23yr old hood kid tight end who's mainly famous becuse of Tom Brady.
In other words, they're not comparable.
Besides, the media/public wanted to make it seem like Vick committed these types of crimes. Hernandez already did all the work himself *pun*

As a white person. I can see how, on a hip hop site how you would want to steer any and everything that may have racial undertones to just the character of a person. Most white people hide racism through that, sarcasm, even denial. But it's also funny how, one black person= the whole race.
Unfortunately as a black man I would be dumb (and so would every other back person) to not at least question the situation racially if it involves any person of color.
It's even more damning ( to ignore race )coming from so-called black posters than it is a white man who I expect to ride for the "why is it always about race " wave.
I have no problem with people pulling the race card cause America has no problem being racists. The burden of proof is on you mister white man to prove you are not racists.
And saying, "why does everything have to be about race"is not a good argument.
The more you pull it, the weaker it gets.
Like I said before, pulling the race card would make sense if Hernandez wasn't locked up in jail, cut an hour after being arrested without any bail and charged with murder.
It's just flatout ignorant to pretend that Vick got treated worse than Hernandez.

This country is built on race breh. I bet 99.99999% of the stuff you see on tv is formulated based off how the white race will view it(see that cherios commercial).
With that being said why is pulling the race card making it weaker. When actual racism is only getting stronger.
Just looking at Vick. That was all racial. White folks was getting these vicious, brutal, man killers banned. But now it's all "these poor little dogs".Guess what now that all that's over guess what dog is this brutal man killer again?
When is all black men looking alike gonna get weak? When is racial profiling go an get weak? When are corporate good ole boys clubs gonna get old? Etc.

It's not even that we know Hernandez is going away for life....
That shyt never will change, people racially profile. Blacks do it, whites do it, asians, mexicans and puerto Ricans do it. I agree with you that racism is alive and strong. It always will be, bottom line.
But see how you have to go on that diatribe into 10 other venues instead of answering my point in this situation. You're completely ignoring how Hernandez is in jail, without bail, charged with murder and was fired from his job an hour after being arrested.
This is where the argument of "These people care more about a dog than human" is fukking ignorant and useless.
Comparing Vick's hardships to Hernandez and making it seem like Vick got it harder is some of the dumbest shyt I ever heard. But if you want every single situation in life to be about race you can surely make it that way, you can bring up Cheerios commercials and a million random things and just assume everything in history is tied to racism.
I don't know what planet your on but the news crews were literally camped out in front of his place for a week and he got cut and his Jersey is fukking returnable while the entire New England media is chastising the entjre Patriots organization for having the gall to even draft this murderous dude.
Yet you think people are treating him better than Vick?

Only reason i gave other example is to show how prevalent and wide spread racism is. There are countless topics involving the nfl that I feel are racially motivated.
Going to jail and being charged don't mean that this overall situation doesnt have a socially racial bias( not saying it does).
Yes as far as public opinion Vick is getting shyt on more.
99.9% of what you see/marketed to you factors in race.
I put nothing past media. He'll for all I know they may be ignoring to a degree this topic cause it could make a thug (the victim) into a sim pathetic figure. Which could impact public opinion of whites in the treyvon Martin case, just saying.
I'm not in either side of this argument, really. But for a white person such as yourself to go in threads saying "why bring race into it"seems weird cause you don't really know about it.
