This was written to the head of the NAACP in Atlanta on the Michael Vick

> Dear Dr. R L White, Head of the Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP,

> My name is Mike. I am 27, and I am neither a member of your organization nor
> a resident of Atlanta. Normally I wouldn't bother you, but then I came

>
> Since I am white, I am going to tread carefully, so as not to offend your
> gentle sensibilities. But, Dr. White, you are a dumb ****.
>
> Speaking for white people everywhere, let me fill you in on something. This
> case was not a race issue. It was about killing dogs. And if there is one
> thing people don't stand for, regardless of race, it's killing dogs. You
> compared it to deer hunting. Again, Dr. White, you are a dumb ****. When was
> the last time a deer greeted you at the door when you got home from work? Or
> curled up next to you and gently nuzzled in to take a nap? Dogs are pets,
> you moron. They aren't meant to be killed for sport. The failure to make
> this distinction only makes you look stupider.
>
> Sorry, I lost my temper there.
>
> Here's the thing, Dr. White. The reason people were outraged by this was
> because he killed dogs. If Ben Roethlisberger or Brett Favre had one it, the
> reaction would have been the same, I guarantee you. The difference is, had
> Ben Roethlisberger or Brett Favre done this, you wouldn't see white
> supporters rallying behind them, proclaiming he was innocent in the face of
> mountains of damning evidence, supporting him regardless of the outcome. Let
> me let you in on a secret about white people; when one of our own makes us
> look bad, we condemn him and disown them. I suggest you adopt a similar
> policy. If your group's mission is truly to advance "colored" people (your
> word, not mine) you'd disassociate from the idiots in your race. It can't go
> wrong, trust me.
>
> Anyway, Dr. White, I don't want this to come off as racist, because it
> isn't. Michael Vick is a despicable person who happens to be black. The
> sooner you realize that, the less of a dumb **** you'll look like.
>
> Sincerely,
>
> Mike
