NAACP To Hold Pro-Vick Demonstration
Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 12:58 pm.
My people, I tell ya…
The Philly chapter of the NAACP along with the Black Clergy of Philadelphia are planning a massive demonstration on Thursday in support of Michael Vick.
No, this is not PETA protesting Vick for his crime.
This is a rally supporting Vick.
…um, why?
“We believe Michael Vick has served his time, paid his debt to society and deserves a second chance and the animal rights groups want to hold him hostage for the rest of his life,” J. Whyatt Mondesire, president of the Philadelphia chapter of the NAACP, said Wednesday. “We think that’s patently unfair. It denies Michael Vick’s basic civil rights, denies him his ability to make a living.”
When did playing in the NFL become a right and not a privilege?
Last I checked, PETA didn’t prevent Vick from signing two-year contract with the Eagles.
I’m all for a guy getting a second chance but I have a problem with marching for a convected felon.
You think Martin and Malcolm would be marching for this man?
Does the NAACP and the Black Clergy plan on holding Chris Brown demonstrations outside of a Rihanna concert and say women’s rights groups are preventing Brown from making a living?
Come on people, priorities…

Its so sad, their are still up in arm over this. once you think about it some people have been mistreating animals for a long time-they just want it to make example out of a black man, as a matter ot fact while Mike was doing his time people were abusing animals where i live in Jacksonville, and it was not black people neither, so that tell yu something. Leave him along and let him play the game, the man has to eat and pay bills. Thank you!
I am going to need someone to edit these articles prior to posting them. Its “convicted” not “convected.” Please spell check before you attempt to get your clown on.
There are so many good comments my words have already been used. Let the man be he have to pay millions, served time and his name smeared through the mud. I am from Louisiana and there are many hicks down here chicken fighting but thats fun to them and no big deal. What there are no animal rights people fighting for the chickens or maybe its a white sport that all.
LET THA MAN DO WHAT HE LOVES. AINT NO ONE WORRIED ABOUT DA PASS.BUT THEM OLD RETIRED FOLKS WHO’S NOT ABLE TO PLAY DA GAME.AND THEM OPPOSING FAN WHO THA GREAT # 7 VICK DAWG’ED OUT ON DA FIELD.
True, Michael Vick is a convicted felon. What he did was wrong on so many levels, and I personally don’t think that he is fully honest in his sincerity regarding his misdeeds. With that being said, he still deserves forgiveness, he deserves a second chance, and the opportunity to rectify his misgivings. This youngman has paid his debt and then some for his acts of cruelty to animals. For some to be so self righteous, so unforgiving, and unwilling to step aside and allow this man a chance to redeem himself. That in it self in cruel, vindictive, antagonistic, and self serving to impose your inability to succeed, and add fuel to the flames of destruction of this human beings lifelihood. That is sicken to me, equally as sicken as the acts he committed. There was only one perfect being on this planet. The last time I check it wasn’t you. In a nutshell, I’m glad someone is standing up and speaking out in support of Michael Vick.
Brother you’ve got your stuff mixed up. Malcolm was an ex-con and I marched with him! Dr. King went to jail and we all marched with him. Vicks did his time and now it’s time to march with him and for him. You need to wake up and understand that BLACK is not a color, it’s a way of life! (B) beautiful..(L) loving..(A) active..(C) clean and (K) kind…to self and kind no matter what color God happened to paint them!
what up michael vick you are the best football player i know i want to play fooball just like you
I heard the Head of the SPCA dog was left in her car and died a couple of weeks ago. This event took place 08/18/2009 ,but did not surface until earlier this week. What will be her punishment? Should she keep her job? I agree withthe above comments. Vick has paid his debt to society. Please leave him along. We have other things to focus……educating our kids, feeding the poor, finding home for the homeless, stopping the violence and the list could go on but need I say more. Leave Vick alone!
let vick do his job in peace people he did what he did but let him have a second chance cuz god will give you one to……………………………
woodie baby
cincity-ohio
micheal vick may god bless u and keep u
Vick do yo thang gods beside u in all u do. you will start on your on team trust that. Very good 60 min interview 2 if noone dont believe u i do
Pay his dept, did his time. Now let him and his family move on with there lives. That is what’s wrong with people today they pretend to be God. He would have been better off killing another person ,then we wouldn’t see anybody standing there dumb asses out there protesting.
Whats up with all the down talk on him being a convicted felon. Oh well, sure he’s one but that doesn’t mean he lost his right to be treated like somebody espicially after he has paid his debt to us all. HE OWES NO ONE ANYTHING ELSE. It seem like society have forgotton about one of the Bible’s greatest teachings…FORGIVENESS!!! If people stop spending so much time focusing on negativity and spend more time on what’s important the world would be a better place.
I agree he deserves a second chance, but marching for a convicted felon, especially for the horrible crimes he committed is pathetic. We as black people need to stop supporting ignorant people like Vick and OJ just because they’re black, we keep making excuses for them.
Vick deserves a second chance, but I’m on the border line about him being a public figure again, we can;t control his plan but we do not need to be supporting violence either.
Michael was used as an example and witness for what God can do. He rose to the top, fell to the bottom and arose again ironically symbolizing the number 7. Yes, they are player hating, but I can attest that God is all in this one. The devil is a liar and so were those who tried to destry him, because of jealousy. Michael has served his time and God is in control of his destiny. Because someone lost so much sleep trying to block him from being successful, God used him as an example and showed all of us what faith can do. They’ll never win, rest, eat or sleep in peace. From this point on, everyting tht Michael touches will be blessed! As he say, here in the South “Aint’ God good?”….All the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s a shame that people hate on someone that can: a). hit a speedbump in their life
b).pay a debt to society physically &financially
c).THEN BE MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY TALLENTED ENOUGH TO MAKE A COMEBACK…
Please people DON’T HATE..It doesn’t look good on you.
The man just wants to make a living.Would’t you want to support your family?
He wasn’t sentenced to life.
He’s overcome adversity.
God bless you M. Vick….Please prove everyone wrong….Haters hate successful Blacks….Continue to be successful and bury all the haters…..People murder other people and get out of jail and don’t get treated as bad as they are treating you….stay blessed…….pick you game up…peace
Michael Vick was not the one who actually particpated in the dog fights, it was only on his property so he took a deal. Leave the man alone and let him do what he does best.
Vick should get to play ball if there is a team willing to take him. They’ll get a cheap date and he’ll get to work. The price is, that they will be held in low esteem, like Vick should be. That should mean something, its called honor. Vick’ will play if he still has the skills, but he has to take the heat and how he does so will determined whether or not he is seen as redeemed as a public figure. He has to do it as an individual. I don’t know why the NAACP or any clergy are bothering to get involved. Probably for press. All it does is reduce their honor. I mean this group was torturing animals for fun! electrocutions, live burials. I mean I know most of us eat meat but these losers were doing it for fun. Any community that develops values of individual honor and responsibility will thrive. Vick dishonored himself and all of his communities and should quietly be allowed to prove himself.
