[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;344440]I know but I feel it is time that we all move past that. If a german caucasin and a russian caucasin get convicted of a crime we dont hear racial profiling. you gotta make up your mind. Am I saying that racial profiling doesnt exist: No because it does but we have to stop making everything a racial situation. If Brett Favre got convicted of this. Would it be as big as Vick. No everyone needs to calm down and realize it for what it is: A black guy messed up and must pay for it. End of story.[/quote]

No one here is absolving Micheal Vick from the crimes he committed; I'm certainly not. And I personally don't think people in the court of law or public opinion are making this out to be a racial case.

As for racial profiling...now some may disagree here, but that is simply code word for "profiling blacks". It really has nothing, if anything, to do with caucasions or Russians or Germans or whomever. Since 9/11, however, I'll throw our Arab and Muslim brothers in the group of those who now get profiled, so to speak. But we're talking about two different things now.

Look Quake and Rave...I'm going to let this drop and maybe we can pick this up in a different thread on a different night.

Shalom
