Racists!! They are racists!!

"The sky is falling, The sky is falling!", "Wolf!, I spot a Wolf!" remember those stories? Henny Penny kept calling out that the sky was falling and the boy that kept calling wolf. They sounded the alarm so many times that noone paid attention to it, when it actually happened. So now with that, I'm going to add this: "Racist!, Racist!, they are racists!"
That was the sound coming from Daunte Culpepper and three other Minnesota Vikings, who were named in the Lake Minnetoka sex cruise scandal. According to the players, who happened to be black, is that the authorities and the prosecuting attorneys in the sex cruise case, are only going after the black players and not the two allegedly white players who were supposed to be involved. Simply, "the man is going after the negras to lock more of us away because we be black."
So sound the alarm and move to the right of road for the "emergency race card." You know it, it comes out everytime a black person, usually a big time athlete or entertainer is in trouble. And when it's played, it trumps every hand at the table..It doesn't matter if you were caught on video tape with clear and concise sound. The race card is one bad mutha-I'll watch my mouth, card.
The race card is for the common folk too. In 2000 and 2004 the race card made its appearance on not one, but two presidential elections. In the summer games, NBA players cited that the reason why most of the country didn't support them is because they were black. And who can forget OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson, these two individuals may have started from the hood, but by the closing of their careers, they were so far removed from the black community that one of them decided to turn as white as the driven snow. It wasn't until they had issues with the law..you remember, one of them turned his ex-wife and her friend into pez dispensers and the other decided he rather touch err!! play with 12-14 year old boys. It was those issues that all of sudden the race card was thrown on the table like a player playing bid whist running a boston. It gets attention and a bunch of "Oh hell yeah! They always trying to knock a brotha down" or the classical, "No matter how big you get, you're still a n-word to them." And its backed up by some whites, remember what Chris Rock said, "A white person could be poor as hell, and he still wouldn't trade places with me..AND I'M RICH!!"
The thing is that although the race card is played and sometimes its legitimate. There is someone who is going through actual hell. Where? I don't know but they can't do anything because people like these players won't take the responsibility in their own culpability in this matter. Regardless if the prosecuting attorneys choose to charge the additional men with crimes. It still doesn't exonerate you from your actions.
Sounds to me, like those players are looking to become snitches..and if that is the case...I'm sorry Vikings fans, but I have a funny feeling you will make NFL history.
