Are we having another invasion from the Palojunk morons?
I get so tired of those gearheads coming over here complaining that we’re not being nice enough to white people.
Listen motherfuckers, you never come here except to complain about us not being nice enough to white people. So basically you want to be quiet about institutional racism, police violence, employment discrimination, and the various indignities that come with being Black in a white supremacist country but as soon as something piques your interest (usually something that you can use to say “see white people suffer too” (no shit sherlock) or “see it’s your own damn fault”) you come over here and decide that we’re not nice enough to your asses. Maybe if you lot weren’t so fucking racist, didn’t make so much excuses for racism, or actually would acknowledge your fucking privilege rather than pretend that after centuries of deliberately keeping Black people down you pretended to stop and declared all even without any acknowledgement of the wealth you stole from us as a group, you wouldn’t catch us being less than concerned about your asses when you finally reap some of what you sow.
In other words, have several goddamn seats and shut the fuck up and go back to your car forum and talk about nothing like you usually do since you haven’t shown any ability to talk about anything of fucking substance or consequence.

  Some people have nothing else better to do than to ensure that white supremacy always stays in place. The best way to do that is to flood a black space and tell us that we are wrong. Black people must always be cordial to them and care about what they care about. Otherwise, they will stop fighting for or something like that.

  It’s like they didn’t learn that nothing times nothing is still nothing in math class.
  “If you’re not nice to us we’ll stop fighting”
  “You weren’t fighting to begin with.”
  “You’re being racist! Wah!”

Intersectionality is rarely neat.
I remember when the verdict came down and it wasn’t until the next day that I found out (we lived in Holland, which was many time zones removed from LA) and thinking yes. Now that I’ve grown a bit and issues like domestic violence and femicide are more real to me than when I was a wily youth.
I find that by reading black feminists, I was able to see that my joy was rooted in part by the internalizing of misogyny and the generalized acceptance of violence against women (both within my domestic Muslim African culture and the public postmodern Western capitalist culture).

  I never gave a fuck about OJ Simpson. He was never interested in Black people when he was in white peoples good graces. Hell he’s just another Black man who dumps his Black wife to pick up a white woman as soon as the money started rolling in. That is to say he’s a pathetic, cooning cliche and I had no interest in welcoming him into the fold as it were when his sorry ass got in trouble. That’s what happens when you kill the white women you prefer to be with.
  But you can trust and believe that the white tears over his acquittal have been delicious for 2 goddamn decades. YOu’d think that with all those tears they’d actually get a small inkling of how we feel every time some fucking pig gets off for killing one of us. But apparently, as a group, wypipo are incapable of feeling for anyone but their damn selves but they damn sure demand that we should be concerned for them even to our detriment.
  Not happening and they can continue to fucking cry.

  I remember when I watched the Fox series on the murder and seeing the parents of Goldman and wondered how this impacted black-Jewish relations in America. Historically, Jews in America have been the least intolerant/violent towards black Americans (when one considers the behaviour of Italian, Polish and other assorted Catholic groupings. The only reprehensible example of Jewish Afrophobia I can think of is Roy Cohn, Trump’s former attorney who thankfully died a slow and horrible death) so I wondered how the murder of their son, who embodied whiteness (which Jews had historically been denied by European Christians), and how the “celebration” of the verdict by black Americans was viewed within Jewish America?

Its the whole “tribalism”, to use the author’s words that has always driven me nuts about the OJ case. To turn such a vile person into a symbol of something else entirely has never made any sense to me. Him getting off was always fine by me, he had a trial, a -brain dead- jury acquitted him, fine. It was good for the LAPD to be embarrassed for their entrenched racism. But how does ignoring the obvious fact that OJ killed his ex wife and cheering his victory in court help in anyway fixing the LAPD police? Finally, the internet meme, re: how do you feel about OJ winning parole is like how black people feel every time an officer is found not guilty of killing a black citizen. I disagree 100%. It seems that marrying the two completely separate issues: 1. OJ being acquitted is the same thing as 2. officers not being found guilty for killing citizens is simply a way for black people to get some sort of emotion of revenge for the acquittal of OJ. White people do not see it this way at all. White people see it as a comical and absurd farce- as evidenced by the classic Simpson’s episode “Who Shot Mr. Burns” where they discuss the absurdity of ignoring all the evidence. I believe that the response from white Americans is simply amazement and amusement-but altogether not shocking- rich people win trials all the time, it is not some symbolism of black and white race relations.

  In my cynical way, I thought it was a sign of progress that a rich black man was able to buy justice the way rich white men have done since this country’s founding.

What’s next? O.J. Endorses Trump? O.J. Gets in a ring with Trump after he’s impeached?
Not really too far from the imagination.

It took a fucking documentary to give you empathy for an abused woman who got her head cut off by her ex-husband. Think about that.

  Why did OJ write a book called “If I Did It” then, where he describes in great detail how he murdered her?

I never understood the outrage of the OJ verdict. Of course he did it, or was there when it happened (I still don’t understand why there’s not more blood in the Bronco). I can see some African Americans’ point of view in that the system finally went their way. Even though OJ went back to the whitest golf course he could find after her got out it was still seen as a win. I wasn’t mad as a white person because it was more about money than it was race. Let’s remember a white Kardashian destroyed evidence which probably would have sealed a conviction.

Some White people need to face it. They would never devote this much attention or hatred towards OJ even if he had killed up 10 Black people.

But O.J. was more than a violent black man. He was a living representation of a a criminal justice system that has doled out relentless travesty to African Americans since time immemorial
He was a domestic abuser but domestic abuse doesn’t net you life in prison without parole.
He was accused of murder but acquitted. An acquittal doesn’t get you life in prison without parole for the next crime you commit.
A black man can’t be a victim of a racist justice system and its face at the same time. OJ’s defense team was billed the Dream Team because they were famous for getting white men over.
OJ wasn’t the moment when we discovered America’s justice system was corrupt. His was the face white America wanted on it, though. Not their own.
Jeff Sessions’ is the face of America’s justice system. Get it right.
