I take it this question is a joke. If it isn’t — and if you can’t figure out for yourself which certain element I’m referring to — ruminate on the name “Michael Vick.” You may recall that several of his fellow black athletes (whoops, there’s another hint for you) defended Mr. Vick by saying that white folks just don’t understand black culture. Come on may, get a life and stop being obtuse.

Sorry, wasn’t a joke nor was I trying to be obtuse. I am well of aware of Michael Vick but you didn’t answer my question about the presidential nominee to which you are referring. I was simply wondering how any of the presidential nominees were part of the “certain elements of society” that ruin pit bulls. Seemed like a such a weird stretch to me that I thought one of the nominees might have a history of which I am unaware.

So if I read you right, you’re using the claim by other athletes about misunderstanding black culture as a license to include Obama (you do mean Obama, right?) as part of that dog-abusing culture. Still seems like a weird stretch. There are a lot of things I can’t stand about Obama, but claiming he is part of the certain elements that mistreats dogs only makes you look bad. But perhaps he has something in his history I have missed, in which case I apologize.
