O.J. Never Dies

The other night one of the cable channels aired a 4-hour program supposedly portraying the inside story about how the Simpson "Dream Team" interacted during the socalled trial of the century.
I must admit to being facinated by it all. Oh so many years later, the O.J. trial is still compelling. Whether you believe he did it or not.
Why did scores of black people cheer when O.J. was aquitted? Was the verdict a "win" for black people. No!! Most white people hate to admit it but race is one of those things about America that is always in play. It doesn't need to be said. So many white people have the notion that if they don't mention race then race has nothing to do with anything. Such nonsense. Or is it naivete. Or is it a clever diversion because they know that it's true.
Immediately after the verdict, white commentators attacked the jury. They forget that the jury was racially diverse. It wasn't a "black" jury like so many people claim. For the record, let me say that I believe he did it. But, the case had flaws, serious flaws.
The government tried the case they had. Between Furman and the Detective who carried the blood around in his pocket, how could anyone have confidence in the evidence Clark and Darden presented. Furman is/was a bigot and wasn't above "enhancing" evidence to get someone he believed to be guilty. But, isn't that true of most police officers, black or white? And, you have a detective carrying around blood evidence in violation to common sense and contrary to his prior behavior. And, remember some of the blood in the vial was missing? Remember that!?!
