The conviction of O.J. Simpson of Robbery should be a lesson to every Black person in America. It doesn't matter if you're Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, or Joe Blow the street guy; if you're Black in America, White America will never fail to let you know from their perspective you're still a NIGGER. Just like Clarence Thomas said during his confirmation hearing to the Supreme Court, "this is nothing more than a modern day lynching."
When I learned the state prosecutors and the presiding judge had formed a coup and served O.J. Simpson and his co-defendant Clarence Stewart an all White jury, I knew O.J. chances of acquittal would fall lower than the Stock Market fell September 29, 2008. Las Vegas has a population of over 1.8 million, and they want us to believe they couldn't find one person of color who was capable of serving on the jury; yeah right. It's astounding how we as Blacks allow ourselves to continuously be suckered into actions that we know, or should know, when things go awry the deck is stacked against us. The guilty verdict of O.J. was nothing but pay-back to Blacks by Whites for the not guilty verdict in O.J. murder trial thirteen years ago. We all know Whites never forgot the celebrations that took place on college campuses and bars by Blacks after O.J. acquittal for the double murder of Nichole Simpson and Ron Goldman. One of the worst things about the whole sequence of events, complaints were made to the police and the FBI days before this fake robbery took place regarding O.J. stolen property, the complaints were ignored. In my opinion, the charges and the guilty verdict was a miscarriage of justice.
What's worse than White America playing the get even card, are Blacks who help them achieve their goals. I've noticed for years how we as Blacks have proven that we are our worse enemies, but time after time I managed to convince myself it wasn't true. It's as if we're cannibalistic, we devour our own. With the people O.J. and Michael Vick consider friends, who in the hell do they consider as enemies? O.J. and Michael Vick managed to associate themselves with the lowest of life forms, fake friends. Both men affiliated themselves with people who they thought was down with it and tough guys, but both men learned they surrounded themselves with a bunch of punks. The people who O.J. and Michael Vick thought was tough guys are the type of guys a real man would spit in their face and dare them to do something about it.
If Blacks don't wake up, we will become extinct and the only evidence of Blacks ever being a part of mankind will be discovered by some geologist centuries from now preserved in amber fossil. And poor Clarence Stewart, he's what the military call collateral damage.
