NAACP leaders urge fairness for Vick

[tylerd]

ok, i'm getting off my soapbox. i didn't want to piss people off with this thread. everyone feel free to post their opinions but please don't get upset. your opinions are just as important.

The NAACP leadership is no different than lots of folks who decide what position to take after looking down at the complexion of their own skin. White folks do it - Black folks do it - its epidemic.

The NAACP is made up of people who have their own agenda, their own axe to grind, and their own issues and priorities. Thats fine and they are entitled to exercise their rights under the law.

However, there is obvious hypocrisy in this Vick stance and in their stance in the Duke case. Here they want Vick to be accorded every presumption and right under the law but in the Duke case they were screaming for the college kids heads on a pike.

WHY?

Again, check complexion and that will give you the answer.

I like to think that there are a bunch of fair minded people of all races and ethnicities in society who DO NOT judge these things based on race .... hopefully we have indeed come a long way in the last few decades. Unfortunately, the NAACP is not part of that elightenment. Just look at their stance in the Fifties and Sixties demanding equal rights and protections under the law. A stance and legal position I support 100%. That changed radically with the legal invention of affirmative action - a unique invention which says that some persons will enjoy far more than equal protection under the law if they belong to a protected class of people. That I do not support at all.

Its like they instruct lawyers in law school. When the law is on your side argue the letter of the law. If the letter of the law is against you but the spririt of the law favors you, then you ignore the letter of the law and argue the intent and spirit of the law. If both go against you take the position of Shakespeare and proclaim that the law is an ass and argue common sense. If even that deserts you cling to pure emotion and sentiment. And if even that cannot aid your case then claim that mercy and forgiveness are the highest of human attributes.

And feel free to change these at will, from case to case and even for issues within the same case. The NAACP is no different than any other hyppocrite.

Whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine. Simple.

Its all about power.

Hypocrisy is the only word to describe the NAACP. They are concerned that animal rights groups are vilifying Vick, but yet stood idly by as the "New Black Panther Party", a known and listed hate group, publicly decried physical threats against the Duke Lacrosse players. No surprise there...The NAACP shows up only when it is beneficial in increasing their annual budget.

i think the feds have a little more evidence than a junkie exotic dancer's claims.

Of course they have more. (All they would need is 'some' to have more.) The NAACP is just considers junky strippers to be more reputable than federal investigators.

Now lets hope the same thing happens to this prosecutor: https://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1185040507206380.xml&coll=7

And every prosecutor that has participated in the 'trend'?

I once resigned from a job because I gave a girl a poem. That day, after lunch, my supervisor brought me to a room with no windows and three inquisitors. The inquisition asked me if I thought the poem was obscene. I said no. They said are you sure? I said yes. They repeated themselves until it was clear that they would accept no answer from me other than "Yes, I gave her an dirty poem." They didn't get their answer. They just got told that they were frauds on a power trip, and that I won't work for the kind of vermin that would hire them.

I can't decide whether to blame feminists or fundamentalists. I guess a puritan is a puritan, anyway you stab it. Death to the sex police.

guys that give girls poems at work are creepy.

 

[Anzik]

Was it a poem or a limerick?
You know like, "There once was a man from Nantucket..."

 

[KAOSINLA]

If writing poems was your hobby or profession and she asked to see some of your work or if this was a poem by a noted author, and again she asked to seem some of the work. Then I would agree it was baseless (also assuming it wasn't sexual by nature). However, if this was given out of the blue, I could definitely see the creepiness factor.

I assume their is more to the story....

 

[devilof76]

I completely forgot about that post.

Of course there's more to the story. It wasn't sexual and it wasn't a limerick. She didn't ask, but we had talked, she knew I could write, and so...

It was a stupid, naive move, because girls think guys who give them poems at work are creepy, but I was stupid and naive, and I thought it would get her attention. (Mission accomplished )

There was actually another girl involved who had borrowed a mix tape from me that had a live version of The End by The Doors on it. They were friends. The one with the tape told the one with the poem that I gave her a tape with Jim Morrison screaming, "I want to **** you mama....all night long...awlllll night loong..." and they decided to lynch me.

So the moral of this story is...I don't think there is one. Make one up.

i think the moral can be closely tied to "Don't "attempt" to dip your pen in company ink."

Yeah workplace romances are tricky. Back in 1988 I was a bank teller. I was dating my boss and got 'seduced' by two other coworkers at separate times who were both engaged to other guys at the time.
Once my boss's suspicions were aroused I figured I should get a new job.
I never looked at women or redheads the same after that...

I was leaning towards that one. I was also leaning towards "Sex first, poems later or never."

Anzik and tylerd, I salute you.

You know, I just can't figure out why the level of outrage over fighting/killing dogs is so much greater than a guy like Ray Lewis/Pacman/etc., etc. who were accused/found guilty of hurting actual PEOPLE. What's the deal? I don't condone what he did, but I was sure shocked to find out it was a capital crime!

Why not? Just wondering. I thought that this site is for people who share the same likes and dislikes. Our opinions don't always have to matter and that makes it interesting. Why does this bother you?
