I don't know how many of you watched this incredibly revealing show on ESPN this evening. For those of you who don't think there is a severe cultural difference between the races, you really ought to watch it.
Predictably, there was absolutely no rational voice allowed on the program, and certainly no "debate" about Vick's "problem." Clearly, the black audience overwhelmingly believed there was nothing wrong with torturing and killing dogs. The only mild criticism of the despicable thug Vick was by a few of the black talking heads. The white talking heads were absurd, wimpy caricatures; the kind we bemoan all the time on this forum.
At this point in Don King's America, it is not possible to find a white public figure with enough courage to condemn the torture and killing of dogs, if it was done by a popular black figure like Vick. We have lost the cultural war that Pat Buchanan spoke of long ago. When you have a large minority of your citizens who don't believe something like the torture of pets is wrong, and the majority is scared to condemn it strongly for what it is- immoral and barbaric, then there probably is no hope for this country short of revolution.
