NAACP Finally speaks out regarding Michael Vick.

[quote=“nappy1380,post:64,topic:33196"”]

Well, the start of this thread was about being innocent before proven guilty and how he is being treated as already guilty by most of society. I am saying that he is being treated this way because he is an athlete/famous. If you or I were accused of dog fighting not too many people would care or make a big fuss about it beyond a local aspect. There would not be protests or people taking our jobs away.

:picard: I’m a fan of reality.

He IS famous and there IS enough evidence against him for the public to not like him so he IS in danger of losing things that have come to him as a result of the public liking him (such as endorsements.) Don’t argue for a false reality. Either he’s famous and in the eye of the public come good or bad, or he’s not. Why should people pretend he’s not famous when the bad comes?
