What. No comments on the juice?

That's funny.

I'll never forget the day the verdict was rendered in the murder case against him. 

I was in the student union at Mississippi State.  The room was full of people. It was where the football and basketball players typically congregated to play tonk.  It also had a food court with Wendy's, Asian stuff, etc. 

Probably 200 people in there watching the big screen TVs (the enormous kind that sat on the floor back then).  I'd say probably 60% in the room were black.  The rest white. 

When not guilty came down, the black side of the room erupted in cheers and dancing while the white folks were all going "bullshit" and looking disappointed/pissed. 

I was sort of in the middle of the room and I watched the racial divide crack right in front of my eyes.  There was disbelief in the eyes of the white folks as they watched the blacks celebrating and there was suspicion and anger bubbling from the black ones when they saw the reaction of the white folks.   I realized right then and there that for all the talk of harmony and colorblindness, there was still (and should be, don't get me wrong) massive gulf between the two camps. 

I suddenly remembered I had somewhere else to be and got out of there because I was afraid that things could go sideways in that situation. 

I left and will be honest. I was pissed at the jurors, pissed at the awful presentation by that idiot Marsha and her black lackey Durden, pissed a the judge and pissed at America.  I liked OJ when he was playing ball and doing movies.  I also believe he savagely murdered two people out of jealous rage and I didn't like him any more after that.

Still, that day proved to me that the racial gap hasn't been bridged.  It's still there we just keep it buried.

I think we're wrong for shoving it inside and pretending it doesn't exist. Wrong for giving lip service to the "I have many black/white friends, I don't see color" bullshit. 

There was and is a racial divide and we do ourselves no justice pretending there isn't.

Meh. I didn't give a rats ass that he was black. I was ok with the verdict because I knew the justice system had been utilized. Did I think he did it? hell yeah. But everyone has to be proven guilty. They did not prove his guilt.

The difference in what you are saying is, the white people did not want him convicted because he was black. They felt he was GUILTY.

The blacks cheered because another black man beat the white system. Huge ass difference!

I never thought OJ's ass was really that big.

Don't turn this into another gay hijack. You know what happened ten years ago when you did that!
