It should be no surprise that racial attitudes are more prevalent in the south. The blacks wearing Vick's jersey could be construed as having an allegiance to Mick Vick based only on race, which is foolish. But much of, I believe, is symbolic of a cultural resentment, that has existed within the African-American community, towards our judicial system that pre-dates the civil rights era going all the way back to slavery.
And then you have those that are Mick Vick fans through and through regardless.
