Can we blame our ancestors for our own shortcomings?

    Now, I see them!

    Tony Dungy was on the Steve Harvey Morning Show this am.

    He was very impassioned in his belief that Vick should be given all the support necessary in order to get his career back on track.

    My thinking is the same as his.

    Everyone should be given all the support necessary to get their life back on track.

    Some need a little more support than others.

    Especially if the playing field is not level from the beginning.

    But, not all NFL players.

    Playing coy, are we?

    I was speaking metaphorically.

    You know what I mean.

    To answer the question posed in this thread:

    No, we do NOT and CAN NOT blame anyone for OUR short commings.

    For every person that is "held down" by their ancestors, there are more that are "elevated' by those very same ones.

    On a side note, earlier this week, Bolt run the 100 meter in 9:58 seconds !!!

    Damn...

    I know exactly what you mean, but I'm not going to take the bait. The subject has been discussed ad nauseam.

    I'll just add a repartee from time to time when the mood strikes...

    So be it.

    Likewise, I will just continue to niggle ad libitum, ad infinitum.
