Orenthal James, your luck has run out

Monday September 17, 2007

Categories: Good news

O.J. Simpson is innocent until proven guilty. But I devoutly hope he is found guilty. It is my fond and cherished wish that he will be found guilty, and sentenced to every second he can possibly spend in prison under the laws of the state of Nevada. It is my aspiration that if he is sent to prison, when the day arrives that he comes up for parole, that the parole board members collapse in hysterical laughter when he shows his face before them, and then send him back to jail with their very best wishes.

I resent that my eyes and ears are taxed by having to acknowledge the continued existence in public life of Orenthal James Simpson. In fact, I apologize to you for making you think about him long enough to read this blog posting. God loves O.J. Simpson. God is, um, a better Christian than I am.

Why are white people so obssessed with O.J. Simpson?! The black community never paid as much attention even during the trials. THe general feeling in the black community is that if it had been O.J.'s black wife that had been murdered you wouldn't be so up in arms. Get over it!

Didn't you see (Mr. or Mrs. get over it),all the black people outside the courtroom celebrating when the verdict was announced?I'd say they paid attention.Plus we're not obssessed,it was a travesty of justice.Plain,& simple!How can you make it a white or black issue?Two people were slaughtered.SLAUGHTERED.Their families no longer have them.IT'S VERY SAD,don't you agree?

Why are you people so obsessed with OJ? Had his murdered wife not been white, would you still care? I think not. Rod, if you are a true journalist and a Christian, why don't you speak out against the injustices toward the Afican American students in Jena, LA rather stir up OJ mess? Is it that's not important to you, because it will show your people up as dirty and tainted? You people talk negatively about Michael Vick, but it's okay for you to go out and kill a deer, a bear, or what ever and call it sport. When you people do it, it's alright, huh? I think I can see it more clearly now, ummmm, if you are white it's alright & if you are black, stay in the back. African Americans have always been the last, least and the left out simply because of people like you, Rod. You can choose to step up and help to make things better or continue to wallow in this filth of stirring negative emotions.

O.J. Simpson needed someone. Mike Tyson needed someone. They are examples of what happens when others ignore the traits of evil that can manifest in the aura of greatness.
