Bishop/Tritone,

How about explaining the OJ is innocent phenomenon. Even if blacks thought cops fucked up or lied about certain shit, that doesn't make OJ innocent. At the time of the trial, almost every black person around was insisting he was absolutely innocent. Many were wearing "don't squeeze the juice" t-shirts. Did they really believe that crap? Was the entire race just doing it to piss off whitey?



Even though I believe that YOU are under the impression that this is funny/entertaining,I am going to treat it like a REAL question because,at times,you strike me as "uninformed" What often causes these misunderstandings is white america's inability to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
Allow me to say first that I knew O.J. was guilty the moment he ducked down and hid in the back of that Bronco(I have never ran from anything I've done let alone anything I haven't)People supported O.J. because they didn't want to believe one of their own,football hero/movie star O.J. would do such a thing.(wouldn't you like to believe Howie Long would just find a new girl to date instead of murdering his ex?)What helped him escape prosecution for that crime(he didn't get away with shit,look at him now)was the same systems of checks and balances that protect white people from wrongful prosecution,afforded him because of his money.The L.A.P.D.'s lies and mishandling of the evidence(common police tactics) castrated the prosecution and led 12 people to say not guilty...

-how could so many blacks (even educated ones) have believed that the KKK owned the Snapple Beverage Co because there was a "K" on the label? The KKK is a social group for marginalized hicks. How would they come to own a multi-national corporation?



Look, it's a nice day in Florida today.I'm gonna take my kid out...I don't have anytime to address urban legends like that bullshit there.

-how could so many blacks (even educated ones) believe the US government invented AIDS in a lab to get rid of blacks? Racism exists. So what. Does that make this plausible?



Can you understand how these factscould contribute to those theories?
Before I thought you were trying to be clever in this thread.Now I just kind feel sad for you that none of this occurred to you on your own,and that you don't know a person that you could have sat down and discussed this with.
