The Jena 6 issue is indeed terrible and an obvious ethnic issue no matter how you look at it.....not comfortable for many people.
The Michael Vick case involves a highly recognizable public figure making millions of dollars. I have no doubt that he being African American brings its own issues, but as a whole, it is different than the Jena 6 news.
Take Lindsey Lohan, much of her issues are not unlike other "girls" her age, but she gets much more attention because she is who she is.
