Folks - I can't make this stuff up. It is would not be believed if someone did.
Rev. R.L. White of the Georgia NAACP got on national television to say "I don't think that Michael Vick knew all that was going on on his property.......Many times when someone takes a plea it is not because they are GUILTY but because they know that in pleading guilty they will receive less prison time than taking the chance". Sorry Rev. White MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE $130 MILLION CONTRACTS AND A PICK OF THE BEST LAWYERS THAT MONEY CAN BUY.
Now we read the Friday Atlanta Journal Constitution which features an interview with MICHAEL VICK'S DADDY!!!!!
I quote:
Vick deeply into dogfighting, father says
By Matt Kempner
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 08/24/07
Michael Vick's father said he pushed his son to quit dogfighting years ago or, at least, put property used for the fights in the name of friends to avoid being implicated some day.
Michael Boddie, in two sometimes tearful interviews with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week, said some time around 2001 his son staged dogfights in the garage of the family's home in Newport News, Va. Boddie also said Vick kept fighting dogs in the family's backyard, including injured ones —- "bit up, chewed up, exhausted" —- that the father nursed back to health.
Boddie, who is estranged from his son, dismissed the idea that Vick's longtime friends were the main instigators of the dogfighting operation.
"I wish people would stop sugarcoating it," Boddie said. "This is Mike's thing. And he knows it."
He "likes it, and he has the capital to have a set-up like that."

PS - check the tag line - this story DID NOT come from "Fox News". (Oh sorry - I am a Black guy. I meant to say "Faux News". Does that feel better to ya?)

I continue to misjudge the capacity of some of my people to go lower than I thought the could.
This morning on WAOK, Lorraine White, talk show host and the WIFE OF Rev RL White of the NAACP focused her first talk show after the release of the newspaper interview of MICHAEL VICK'S FATHER on THE FATHER and how unthinkable it was of him to LET HIS SON'S DIRTY LAUNDRY OUT for all to see. The talk show DID NOT focus upon the TRUTH that he told.....they focused on the breach of privacy.
Mr. Vick was said to be a bad father for not forcibly stopping his son from fighting dogs despite the warnings that he gave.
It was said that these TEEN PARENTS who gave birth to Michael Vick were not prepared to be a good character reference to their son.
I had to go in to work so I did not listen to the entire show but I assure you that THIS is the general tone
