Michael Vick: Hip Hop & Prison Culture Made Him Breed & Fight Pit Bulls
Ever wonder what caused the moral decline in today's youth and black professional athletes? Look no further, Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star has written an editorial piece that puts the blame squarely on the shoulders of hip hop.
Here are two excerpts from the article:
"I believe Vick got involved with breeding vicious pit bulls because rap-music culture made it the cool thing to do."
"N.W.A., the late-1980s rap group, hijacked hip-hop years ago, and calls to return it to something resembling decency and self-respect have fallen on Def Jam ear$."
I encourage you all to read the whole article. I look forward to your comments.

“It speaks to the grip the negative aspects of hip-hop culture have on young people. Vick is a millionaire athlete who has spent most of his NFL career trying to maintain his street cred. Despite lifetime financial security, Mike Vick stayed on the “grind,” hustling for that paper with his Bad Newz Kennels.”

It also speaks to the moronic stereotyping from someone who’s never even listened to a single hip-hop song in his entire life.

I added a polite comment on the article and I encourage you all to do the same. LOL at the fact that they edited out the word “jerks…” watch your language, people.
I think that we should e-mail Jason Whitlock and send him a link to Theory’s post on the “Death of Hip Hop.” That fool probably thinks that NAS makes your car go hella fast.
Scum like Michael Vick deserves “hard time.” Rich, brainless, senseless, insensitive,....with only one so-called skill….carrying a bloody football. It makes a mockery of all decent people who actually WORK for a living. May the gods damn his evil soul to a life of punishment and anguish.
