Go OJ Go!
The other day we heard a radio talking head describing the recent Frontline program about the OJ Simpson trial. He said it was one of the most interesting programs he had seen in years.
The premise of the show was how the two races saw the whole trial, and why blacks reacted as they did. He said that basically, the cops framed a guilty man, and that all the blacks interviewed, dozens of "scholars" as he called them, as well as TABMITS (The Average Black Man in the Streets to modify an old marketing phrase), believed OJ was guilty, but were just happy that one of their own was finally a beneficiary of the crooked system that whites get around all the time.
He seemed to think blacks were completely justified in this response, and said that the real star of the whole affair was Johnny Cochrane (who may now have a different opinion about the righteousness of getting a murderer off the hook with nothing but hot air than he did while he was walking this earth. But we digress....), who worked the case "brilliantly."
Anyone with a pulse who paid the least bit of attention to the trial ten years ago could see that the prosecution bent over backwards to lose that case. LA's "leaders" didn't want any more riots, so they made sure there weren't any. Only the Republican effort to not impeach Clinton at all costs while appearing to try looked even phonier.
Why else would the prosecution team consist of an incompetent Jewish woman with a male Negro step-and-fetchit sidekick, in front of a largely black and female jury? Only a Doug Wilson essay explaining this strategy in a minimalist literary journal would look more out of place.
And let's don't even go to the low-speed made-for-TV car chase coincidentally in the middle of an NBA finals game that got the whole thing started.
The issue of cops planting evidence is always disturbing, especially as the drive for "hate" crime laws goes into high gear. But once again, the unspoken story speaks loudly.
If most blacks are happy to see our justice system corrupted because "they" got away with it this time, doesn't that prove yet once again that we must go our separate ways?
