What do you think of a man who deliberately, maliciously, and for fun and profit tortures, mutilates, and kills dogs? Be careful how you answer, because if you say that he's one mean sick wacko who needs some psychiatric help, you're a racist.
The Rev. Marion Barnett thinks Michael Vick has been treated unfairly. "It's racism . . . and we need to stop this unethical treatment of black human beings," he says. I can agree with the Rev. Barnett to a degree. If black human beings are being treated unethically because they are black, that's racism. But I have a couple of questions. First, is it unethical if you honestly believe Michael Vick didn't deserve a key to the City of Dallas? I know of no ethical principle that's being violated here. Second, is Michael Vick a human being? Given what he is capable of, there is grave doubt.
