There are tens of millions of rational middle-class blacks out there who would be eminantly more qualified than this idiot. Talk about racism, talk about stereotyping, talk about putting the worst foot forward...
My thought is that most blacks think Vic’s actions were as despicable as we do. It’s just chilling to think someone as ignorant as Whoopie Goldberg would be picked to “represent”. Damn, the producers of the View must have one hell of a distorted opinion of Blacks.
Why is it that the only Blacks that can be lofted, seem to think as she does? If it’s a crime Woopie, I don’t care if it’s a white person, a black person, a yellow person, a red person or a person with pink polkadots or green and purple stripes. It was evil what Vic did to those dogs. That’s the end of the discussion.
Nobody is picking on Vic. Vic was picking on the dogs. Most sane people find that abhorant, even if you haven’t the tools to recognize it.
View producers, seriously, guy a friggen clue will ya!
There is NO defending what Michael Vick did. Whoopi might as well defend the high murder rate in a major U.S. city by saying it’s not that unusual.
Lib’rals are so dam stupid!
Or better yet, buy one...
Grrrrrrrrrrrr...
Which is why he is only going to prison for probably less than one year, instead of 5, 10, or more.
Now, Elizabeth and Joy usually do not see eye-to-eye. But I believe Joy was unhappy with Whoppi's comments. It's possible that Elizabeth and Joy may find common ground more often with Whoppi around. That might lead to interesting situations.
Now maybe dogfighting is not that unusual. It might be argued, that breeding dogs for fitness in all-out aggressive, gut-ripping ferocity may be a commendable objective.
After all, you want the dog that is protecting your hearth and home to be as able as possible to drive off potential intruders in your home.
But then, the dog-fighting culture goes just a little further, and turns this into a gladiator sport, in which the losers of the fight are dispatched, not by a merciful, swift, relatively painless death, but by a cruel prolongation of the creature’s suffering, so accurately described in the collected works of the Marquis de Sade. Not merely death, a recurring theme in so much of what of the Marquis wrote so exquisitely, but suffering with full consciousness, with no surcease BUT death from the excruciating pain. And what did the dog do to earn this?
Not because the dog was guilty of blasphemy, or moral turpitude, or vile crimes too repulsive to recount. Not to convert the creature’s soul, or cause it to renounce a life of sin and depravity.
No, none of these. The dog dies twitching and writhing because some human being thought it would be “entertaining”.
The most vicious, cruel, depraved killer of innocents is no longer given this kind of death, even when the death sentence is imposed and carried out. Why should it be tolerated for one of the lesser creatures of God?
Just stopping by in case someone posts a pic of Elizabeth.
Yeah, well, “common” doesn’t make it right. Maybe in some neighborhoods the ‘N’ word is common. So does that mean it’s OK if they use it on you, whooper? After all, it’s what they are used to, right? We can’t really blame them since that’s how they were raised, right? Not their fault, right?
No, people have to learn what is proper behavior and also what is illegal.
Did someone remind Ms. Goldberg that dogfighting is not only barbaric but illegal as well. Just another reason why I barely watch my TV. It’s all such crap.
I remember in 5th grade when they were going to read OJ his verdict, I hoped he was guilty. I said “Aw man” when he was found innocent.

Go here and leave your opinion. You’ll see the tab upper right side.
Absolutely pathetic how ignorant they ALL are.
No,
She's from New York so I'd guess she really does believe that all sorts of evils infest everyplace south of the Battery.
Defending Vick at all, on the other hand, would be the liberal black part of the equation.
I say set up a big cage on the 50 yard line, fill it with about 100 pit bulls being held in pounds for aggressive behavior and have Vick explain it all to them.
Unfortunately, with far too many iconic African-Americans - they are still more African than American, by their own choice and behavior.
Why is she controversial for defending him?
I saw just as many idiotic comments on FR about dogfighting and Vick.
Whoopie Goldberg is the tip of an iceberg called “OJ.” And if it’s not melted down soon, it may destroy our culture entirely.
From the reading I have done, I would be careful to not dismiss, out of hand, Goldberg's comment. It, in now way, excuses Vick's conduct, but I suspect dog fighting is a lot more common in Vick's area than most would like to believe.
You got it.
Dogfighting may be typical, but it’s also illegal. Murder is fairly common, too.
