Bleacher Report Documentary On The Life And Times Of NFL'er Michael Vick

Today, I just wanted to post a quick link to a five (5) part Bleacher Report documentary on the life and times of NFL star Michael Vick.  As we all know, Michael Vick served two (2) years in prison for his role in a dog fighting ring run out of his mansion in Virginia.  The brother had it all-at the time one of the largest contracts in NFL history.  The brother lost it all-Vick had to declare bankruptcy heading out of prison.  Fortunately for him and family, Michael Vick was given a rare second chance to play in the NFL and redeem himself spiritually and financially.  How many of us fall from grace and get a second chance in life?  Not many of us! 

As I share this link, I going to say something I've said in private conversation with Black folks, and other Black folks have said to me, and some of my readers might want to say themselves (but they might be afraid).  Think about it: Michael Vick actually served more time in jail than the killers of a number of Black folks who probably should have gone to jail and had some responsibility and culpability for the deaths they caused! The killers of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Eric Garner, and countless other Black folk questionably killed, are all walking the streets like nothing happened.  We really have to wonder do Black lives matter?
