Hell, Lynndie England has lots of white guy fans who think what she did was the bee's knee-pajamas (or "it was like a fraternity hazing"), and I'd hazard a wager that none of those fans have ever been on the receiving end of two-hundred years of court martials targeting female soldiers.
Well, does the fact that Lynndie England has supporters make what she did any more right? Of course not. And the same goes for the Michael Vick situation.

Ok, this is the kind of thing I just simply can't deal with hearing. As a person who happens to be a white male, I refuse to take responsibility for or feel guilty for things that happened to minority groups in the past for which I took no part in. Period.
