...If only Vick was actually in it...








Update: Add Jamie Foxx to the list of black celebrities coming out to defend Michael Vick (hereafter "the piece of excrement").

“It’s a cultural thing, I think,” Jamie said.

Horseshit.

“Most brothers didn’t know that, you know. I used to see dogs fighting in the neighborhood all the time. I didn’t know that was Fed time.

Right, 'cause what matters is not whether something is cruel and inhuman... or even illegal... but if it might end you up in Federal prison. Gotcha.

So, Mike probably just didn’t read his handbook on what not to do as a black star.”

Plays the race card -- Check. 'cause if Brett Favre did this, no one would care. Right.

“I know that cruelty to animals is bad, but ..."

That one stands on its own.

"... sometimes people shoot people and kill people and don’t get time,” Jamie continued.

Yeah, if they do it *accidentally*, and if there's no negligence involved, that might sometimes be the result. 'course, there is no such thing as accidental torture, or accidental execution. But, hey, they're only dogs, right?

“I think in this situation, he really didn’t know the extent of it, so I always give him the benefit of the doubt.”

And finally, we come to the rationalization. What's unspoken, IMO, in all this is the whole "he's a big hero to me *so* he couldn't possibly have done these things" fallacy. Um--Yeah. He could, and he did--In fact, he's fucking admitted it.

Prison's too good for him.
