Continued from OJ is an example, but not the root, of a problem Part 2...
OJ is not helping this situation. He is an idiot for continuing this animosity. The book and the interview only help to continue this anger. Given that after a decade the absolute anger and contempt that the major news media presents against him is unwarranted. There is hardly a week since the end of the case that OJ is not referred to in connection to some murder or crime in the United States. The question is not whether or not OJ is innocent or guilty; he is innocent because a court proved him innocent. Any disagreement with that is no different than the disagreement found when the police officers accused of beating Rodney King were acquitted. Over a decade later the media does not mention how wrong the officers might have been. There is no mention of how the Black community knew the guilt yet the disparity between crimes against Blacks verses a crime against a White is immense.
As long as the news media can not impartially report crimes by any group of people, as long as any portion of America continues to focus its rage against another group, the under lying issues will never be resolved. This I believe is the reason why Representative Virgil Goode had an issue, and Georgia House Speaker Richardson refuses to apologias for slavery. Why the issue of reparations was not answered, by seven of eight democratic candidates who were asked. Why every image of unemployment, crime, and drugs in America is shown with a Black face by the news media.
These issues continue to grow, continue to worsen, and further divide this nation. This nation is better than that. This nation is worthy of better than that. And we must address this before, like a cancer, it consumes us.
This is what I think what do you think?
