I know if I lived in Virginia, I certainly wouldn't want anyone going around blaming my state for Vick's behavior. Let him be responsible for his actions. Maybe, his upbringing PERIOD had something to do with it, but certainly not the fact that he was brought up in the south and I think it's ridiculous for that fact to have even been brought up by Whoopi.

Honey I am sorry to tell you but there are so many cultural differences in th US today with people of different races and income brackets. There are things that I will do that you would never do and never be introduced to. There are many things that I eat and ate as a child (example:chitterlings (sp)) that you would never have thought to eat. cultural differences exist... sorry to say.. if you weren't brought up in the area of VA that fights dogs how would you know? I would never have known if I hadn't taken time to hang around neighborhoods and people that my parents never let me hang around... see is believing, sometimes when you don't see a problem its easy to say it doesn't exists. Now you know that it exists in Va.
