An Open Letter To The Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP

Dear Dr. R L White, Head of the Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP,

My name is Mike. I am 27, and I am neither a member of your organization
nor a resident of Atlanta. Normally I wouldn't bother you, but then I
came across this article, and it compelled me to write.

Since  I am white, I am going to tread carefully, so as not to offend
your gentle sensibilities . But, Dr. White, you are a dumb fuck.

Speaking for white people everywhere, let me fill you in on something.
This case was not a race issue. It was about killing dogs. And if there
is one thing people don't stand for, regardless of race, it's killing
dogs. You compared it to deer hunting. Again, Dr. White, you are a dumb
fuck.

When was the last time a deer greeted you at the door when you got home
from work?
Or curled up next to you and gently nuzzled in to take a nap? Dogs are
pets, you moron. They aren't meant to be killed for sport. The failure
to make this distinction only makes you look more stupid.

Sorry, I lost my temper there.

Here's the thing, Dr. White. The reason people were outraged by this was
because he killed dogs. If Ben Roethlisberger or Brett Favre had done
it, the reaction would have been the same, I guarantee you. The
difference is, had Ben Roethlisberger or Brett Favre done this, you
would not see white supporters rallying behind him, proclaiming he was
innocent in  face of mountains of damning evidence, supporting him
regardless of the outcome. Let me let you in on a secret about white
people: when one of our own makes us look bad, we condemn him and disown
him.

I suggest you adopt a similar policy. If your group's mission is truly
to advance "colored" people (your word, not mine) you'd disassociate
from the idiots in your race. It can't go wrong, trust me.

Anyway, Dr. White, I don't want this to come off as racist, because it
isn't. Michael Vick is a despicable person who happens to be black. The
sooner you realize that, the less of a dumb fuck you'll look like.

Sincerely, Mike

A reactionary response for sure, but I agree with the central premise in that I believe that the race card was incorrectly played here as well.

 :-o  Wow, what a letter.  I'm with nab here, but it also seems a little over the top, calling him names and all.

I watched Dr. White last night, he and several other locals were on the ESPN special "The Vick Divide," which had some interesting debate in my opinion.  I really don't get the relativist arguments made by people to justify Vick's behavior, if applied to something like racism, sexism, genocide, etc, it wouldn't hold up at all.  I'm speaking specifically about the "culture" argument that has been prominent in the media.  Why is one "culture" acceptable while others aren't ?  It seems very hypocritical to me.  Further, how can Christians justify murder of any organism?  The book of Genesis is very clear about what God gave to us.  If anything, it fits the context of my signature, another person manipulating the masses for their own agenda.   :|   
Can we talk about the Dead?  I'd love to talk about the fucking Grateful Dead, for once, can we please discuss the Grateful FUCKING Dead!?!?!?!
