3. FAR longer than you did, posting the above.
A cartoonist, drew a thug with a "Don't Snitch" T-shirt on, he has shot someone dead, with multiple gunshots.

Two kids looking on say, "We didn't see anything."

A few black leaders are screaming to high heaven, wanting the cartoonist fired.
The *SAME* black leaders don't want Michael Vick, to be forgiven, and allowed to play in the NFL again.

Now tell me that this isn't a double standard I could drive a truck through.

4. And surely you're not implying
that only black leaders can be accused of hypocrisy.

I understand you care for animals but don't you think that there are plenty of white athletes who defy the law and the definitions of human decency, only they don't get caught as much as the brown ones?

7. Not in the least.
As to white atheletes, if and when they are caught breaking the law, they also deserve to pay the penalties.

I remember seeing a segment on a news magazine a few years ago, how a MARRIED white athelete, while he was in some other state, knocked up his "wham bam thank you ma'am" groupie.

He was sued for child support, due to being thousands and thousands behind.
The next time that athelete was going to play IN that state, the authorities had FELONY warrants for his arrest, due to not paying.

Guess what! The team doctor said the athelete was "too injured to play," so he didn't even go with the team to that state.
The newsmagazine crew found the athelete, jogging not far from his home.
When they asked him about the child support money, he punched out the cameraman and reporter.

The scumball never was even CHARGED with assault, and the local DA refused to comment.
