That's really not true. A lot of sites with no black hat SEO whatsoever were affected by the various Panda updates.

I know quite a few site owners that are legit and only use common whitehat practices that were hit by the Google panda update. The update did crack down, but its also impimenting google freshness so dated content ranks lower.
