The End of the Civil Rights Struggle

It's time to declare victory in the stuggle for civil rights. If the NAACP has nothing better to do than defend Michael Vick and his admission to dogfighting charges, there's clearly no need for that organization to continue to exist:

In Atlanta yesterday, NAACP leader R.L. White was already trying to help, telling the NFL that Vick should be allowed to return to football after serving his sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation.

"As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football," said White, president of the NAACP's Atlanta chapter. "We further ask the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country."

White felt the coverage of the case has been unduly destructive, saying, "Michael Vick has received more negative press than if he had killed a human being."

White added that while he does not support dogfighting, he considers it as bad as hunting.

"His crime is, it was a dog," White said.

I'll bet they get a few letters about that. He left out the word "only", but you know that's what he was thinking - only a dog.

The NAACP needs to close their doors and declare an end to the civil rights struggle. It must be over if they have to resort to defending dog killers to get their organization in the press.
