http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20112312  The link is to a MSNBC article stating that the Michael Vick dogfighting case is seen as a racial issue.  If the small, backwoods town surrounding his home thinks that, fine, but why would MSNBC buy into that and print an article promoting the idea.  The problem with race relations in this country would be non-existant if ignorant people wouldn't bring race into cases such as this.  I'm all for the American justice system, the evidence the media has shown leads me to believe he is guilty, but that's for the court to decide, Vick like every other defendant is innocent until proven guilty.  Guilty or not, There was illegal activity on the property where he runs a dog breeding business, so of course he is going to be involved in the case.  To call this a "witch hunt targeting a successful black man" is ridiculous.  He owns the property/ business.  Even if he's not convicted of the dogfighting charges, the authorities have every right to charge him. 

 Ok,  I guess my complaint here is against MSNBC, not Michael Vick, the justice system, or even the people who seem to think this is a race related case.  So to MSNBC, I say this; Don't promote racial ignorance by printing such garbage.  take the high road and report the facts to people and let them draw their own conclusions.
