Reply #36: Celebrity coverage, e.g. The Michael Vick case

[Brewman_Jax]

Or "The Black Kid was Driving"

From the article: "If Atlanta Falcons player Michael Vick really was an impresario in arranging for dogs to fight to the death, then he is not a nice person. However, in the American racial equation, Vick's alleged animal abuse appears to rate far higher on the scale of infamy than the murder of human beings. Music producer Phil Spector's seemingly endless trial on charges of shooting a woman in the mouth doesn't even make the newspapers - but Michael Vick's alleged transgressions against dogs has the nation in an uproar. Meanwhile, crazed, young, talentless white female celebrities flaunt their lawlessness and amorality with abandon."

I can appreciate the NAACP saying that due process should take its course before he's executed in the court of public opinion. Note the threads and posts that defended Imus or the Duke Lacrosse suspects.
