Cult of athlete warped Vick’s values

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

vick2.jpg

This is one article where I don’t have to even comment on because after you read it you too will roll your eyes and say to yourself “what the fuck!?”

It’s clear that the dude who wrote this article was on crack. No seriously, he was. Besides he is not even original.

Pick your typical idiot Negro superstar athlete and insert name in place of Vick’s.

Poor black kid, yada, yada, yada… single mother, high school dropout, growing up in da hood, around crime, gangs, drugs lots of gold teeth, baggy pants, pit bulls, hair weaves, gin and juice…er uh crunk juice. Yawn.

Reason #4,115 it’s whiteys fault Vick is going to jail.

By Shaun Powell - NY Newsday

Michael Vick is not guilty. No, really, in one sense, despite his plea yesterday, this is the wrong guy.

For months, investigators circled their wagons around the Falcons quarterback with the intensity of blitzing linebackers and implied that Vick masterminded the slaughtering of dozens of dogs who couldn’t cut it in the ring. They cut deals with members of Vick’s posse, who snitched about those brutal dogfights held on his spread in Virginia. Vick, the feds believe, created this.

But who created Vick?

Who gave power and money and influence to someone who has done nothing, other than sling a football, to deserve it?

Who failed to teach him right from wrong, or the importance of making good choices, when they had the chance?

Who unleashed, pardon the expression, Vick on those dogs and turned him into a national disgrace?

Those are the real guilty people. If the feds are correct about Vick’s role, then those people also helped strangle and shoot and drown animals that in essence were poisoned by a man who was poisoned himself long ago.

Personal accountability is definitely in order here, make no mistake. What Vick did was heartless and he should do time. But he’s a symptom of something larger and troubling: a young man led down the wrong path by an upbringing that wasn’t exactly “Leave It to Beaver”; by his “boyz” who leeched off him instead of living their own lives; by a celebrity-inhaling society that elevated him to a god and by a sports league loaded enough to give him a $130-million contract.

Vick didn’t build a cruel kennel with just the help of a couple of buddies; he had help from tons of people, the ones who made him who he is, the ones who shaped his character.

He wasn’t a spoiled, immature and misguided animal abuser from birth. Actually, he was exactly like your child: an innocent sponge, ready to absorb the world around him. Except his world was probably a lot different from the one you exposed to your child.

He was born to a mother who was still in high school, and by the time Brenda Vick was 21, she had four kids. She was a baby with babies, not unusual in poor black America today. How could she teach them about life when she hadn’t experienced life herself? How could she watch her kids when she had to work enough jobs to feed them? Plus, she raised them in the projects, where too many influences are bad.

This was the incubator where Vick’s values and morals were shaped. These were the circumstances that also ruined his younger brother, Marcus, who later would be kicked off the team at Virginia Tech for stomping on another player’s leg and who once was charged with pointing a gun at a group of kids.

Vick was a great athlete in high school and a superstar at Virginia Tech, where football fever runs high and football players - especially the special ones - are treated like they’re, well, special. The coddling of Michael Vick intensified when he arrived in Atlanta as the savior of the Falcons. Interestingly, during a “Monday Night Football” promo a few years ago, Vick was asked what was the best thing about being Michael Vick.

“V-I-P wherever I go,” he exclaimed.

The Falcons gave him a monster contract and essentially handed him the keys to the organization, if not the city. But being rich and famous doesn’t necessarily hide all the character flaws, and Vick had a few. He used his middle fingers to salute the home fans last season. He was charged by a woman with giving her a disease. There was the water bottle incident at the Miami airport this year. He showed a pattern of irresponsibility. And in every misstep until now, the Falcons covered for him, excused his behavior, looked the other way.

Vick also loved the gangsta culture that uses pit bulls as status symbols. He surrounded himself with buddies from back home, some with rap sheets, and bankrolled them. They played by their rules and amused themselves with dogfights that claimed plenty of canine victims.

But you tell me:

Born to a teenage mother, raised in the projects, consumed by a negative culture, back-slapped by vulture “friends” and elevated by a sports-mad society, who’s the real Vick-tim here?

And who’s really guilty?

As long as Sharpton and Jackson are around black folks won’t be taken seriously

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

jacksonsharpton.jpgThis is a portion of an entry from Right Wing News, keep in mind that this is a site that I read often and links to a lot of his posts. But this is the general feeling of the white bread blogsphere.

On the one hand, I think Don Imus is an obnoxious creep. In addition to that, he’s to the left-of-center, so watching his being publicly flayed alive in a slow news cycle because of comments about “nappy headed hos” and “jiggaboos” on his show is generally fun for me.

On the other, I am sick and tired of the sort of political correctness and double standards that demand that guys like Imus prostrate themselves in front of anti-Semitic, worthless sacks of crap like Al Sharpton. Well, at least it wasn’t Jesse Jackson, right? In fact, if you think about it, this Imus appearance with Reverend Al is almost like one drug dealer taking over another’s territory. It’s like a silent acknowledgment that Al Sharpton has supplanted Jesse Jackson as the biggest race hustler in America.

Yes because as I said the media has trotted out (yes, race hustlers) to the forefront of this issue, Imus will be laughed off and the issue will fall on deaf ears.

Trust me I am as aware of anybody that white people say crazy this shit all the time.
Those of you who remember the old show All in the Family remember how white liberal types were outraged that such racially insensitive language was use in national television.
But I liked All in the Family because I believed that Archie was not this lone wolf who grumbled and moaned at the mere existence of niggas in his neighborhood, his behaviors were more typical of the average white household.

The lily white media and the blogsphere want this to go away, because of the “evil political correctness” that permeates our society.
Rednecks will use this overused term to cry foul that one of their own is being dragged through the mud.

Sharpton and Jackson’s past no doubt will trump having a mainstream on-air personality throw out racial bullshit with no restitution. Basically “those two niggers have used racially insensitive language in the past, so what tis the big deal with Imus.”
I have read countless comments.

Until Jackson and Sharpton die off, people will never take issues like this seriously.
Sharpton and Jackson thrive on victim hood and unfortunately way too many black people take them seriously and it’s sad.
NO serious discussion of this can take place until someone shuts them the fuck up and the media stops inviting them on and giving them free airtime.

Fox News on Imus, what’s missing BLACK COMMENTERS!

Monday, April 9th, 2007

This is really starting to piss me off.

Imus gets on his show and insults black folks, first the media tries to hide the fact that dude said it, now white people are tripping all over themselves saying how terrible his comments were.
But even more screwed up is these news shows don’t even bother to find black folks to comment on an issue affecting black folks.

Are you people in the media that clueless or what!?

Savage Idiot,

Friday, February 9th, 2007

 So does that make the “Savage Nation” a nation of idiots?

 (link) On the February 7 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage claimed that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “was chosen by George Bush as part of an affirmative action program in order to make his Cabinet look like America” and called her “a schoolmarm who has been pushed up the ladder all of her life because of social engineering.”

I’ll let that sink in…LOL! what a dope! 

Savage also stated that President Bush’s secretary of state “should have been a man because he would have more respect in the Middle East than does a woman to begin with.”

Later in the same program, after reading the headline of an Associated Press article “Israeli dig at holy site stirs anger of Muslims” — Savage said: “What doesn’t upset a Muslim? Tell me what doesn’t upset a Muslim somewhere in the world. They have nothing to do but throw bombs and cut people’s throats.”

The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners each week, according to Talkers Magazine, making it the third most-listened-to talk radio show in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.

From the February 7 edition of Talk Radio Network’s The Savage Nation:

SAVAGE: How can a schoolmarm like Condoleezza Rice conceptually deal with the complex problems of this world? She was appointed to the chancellorship at Stanford because of affirmative action. She was chosen by George Bush as part of an affirmative action program in order to make his Cabinet look like America. I mean, do we have to mince words for the rest of our life? She’s over her head. She’s way over her head. Now, you could have picked an African-American person, if you want to call people of color that, but it wouldn’t have been Condoleezza Rice. It should have been a man, it should have been a man who speaks Arabic, it should have been a man because he would have more respect in the Middle East than does a woman to begin with. It has nothing to do with race, it has to do with the fact that she is a schoolmarm who has been pushed up the ladder all of her life because of social engineering.

SAVAGE: “Israeli dig in holy land upsets Muslims.” What doesn’t upset a Muslim? Tell me what doesn’t upset a Muslim somewhere in the world. They have nothing to do but throw bombs and cut people’s throats.

This is from Media Matters and if I’m posting something from Media Matters you know it’s real bad.
I’m trying to force myself to give a shit about what Savage says. I don’t listen to his show all that often. I can’t take him seriously because frankly he is intellectually imbalanced and he caters to the lowest common REDNECK Denominator.
Everything he says is to get ratings; he is the radio equivalent to Keith Olbermann.

He was such an outspoken dude on illegal immigration. So before the elections to show off his so called “independence,” he refused to endorse Republicans.
Then the day after the election it finally occurred to him that a Democratic Congress is now empowered to work with Bush on his amnesty program for illegal immigrants! 
What kind of fucking jackass could not figure that out “before” the election?
He basically sat on his ass and did nothing when it counted most to help stop illegal immigration, because he spent his time bitching about Republicans to gain ratings. 

His attacks on Rush are just retarded and he called Rush Limbaugh a shill for the Republicans, but Rush figured out “before” the election that Bush is not on the ballot, and if the Republicans don’t win Congress, the Democrats will. In other words, Rush passed politics 101 it was obvious that Savage flunked that course.

This dickhead actually wrote a book calling liberalism a mental illness, but dude clearly has a mental illness of his own. He has become another shrill, angry, redneck white guy.

Olbermann: Bush Extending ‘Senseless’War to Aid ‘War Profiteers’

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

 

jackass16.jpgOn Tuesday’s Countdown, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann used his latest “Special Comment” attack on President Bush to accuse the President of extending the “senseless, endless” war in Iraq as part of an ulterior motive to transfer money to “war profiteers” because “you can’t sell [the Army] any more [Humvees] until the first thousand have been destroyed.

” Olbermann: “Your second accomplishment, sir, is to have taken money out of the pockets of every American, even out of the pockets of the dead soldiers on the battlefield and their families, and to have given that money to the war profiteers. Because if you sell the Army a thousand Humvees, you can’t sell them any more until the first thousand have been destroyed, can you? The service men and women are ancillary to the equation. This is about the planned obsolescence of ordnance, isn’t it, Mr. Bush? And the building of detention centers? And the design of a $125 million courtroom complex at Gitmo, complete with restaurants. At least the war profiteers have made their money, sir.”  (more laughs here)   

I honestly don’t know who is the bigger jackass Olbermann or fat ass Rosie.
Man what a fucken potent idiot combination.
Could you imagine the love child? Yuk
