The economy is in shambles, we're stuck in Iraq, inflation and gas prices seek to ruin us all. But White America slept just a little better last night knowing that O.J. Simpson has been convicted on all counts in his armed robbery trial. His defense was pulped by the prosecution and the Juice will be getting pasteurized. Yes, I've got a million bad orange juice puns.
There was no other way that this was going to end and we all knew it before the ESPN ticker had gotten the words to the other side of the screen. "The Passion of the Christ" had a less telegraphed ending. Gravity is more unpredictable. White folks had never let that 1994 acquittal go and there wasn't a white person in America who didn't believe that O.J. didn't belong behind bars, so the writing was on the wall once we saw that all-white jury. O.J. shouldn't be allowed to run free after making a mockery of the justice system. That right is solely the province of white people. So the storyline going into the courtroom was pretty much the same one that the WWF had written for the Ric Flair's rematch with "Macho Man" Randy Savage: "You did it once. Now, let's see you do it again!" If Vince McMahon had been the judge, the verdict wouldn't have been more obvious.
The sad part is that O.J. was stupid enough to allow himself to be put in this situation again. Doesn't matter than one of his accusers would testify that O.J. was set up. Like Michael Jackson, O.J. Simpson forgot he was black in America, so he thought that he could walk around like everything was sweet and because he beat a murder rap, everything else was no big deal. He got off from the big one: Killing two white people. He probably tried shooting himself just to see if the bullets would bounce off.
He seemed to have forgotten how mad white people were and continue to be when it comes to the O.J. trial. I argued with a girl last year who wasn't even old enough to remember it and she firmly believed that he should be burning in Hell right now. They all say that it doesn't matter of O.J. is black; it's all about justice. Then, they defend the cops that shot Shawn Bell or think that the Jena 6 were getting what they deserved.
O.J., listen to me: White people don't like to see black people get equal treatment in this country. I don't care what they say: When they get off, the whole thing was simply a misunderstanding that needed investigating to uncover the facts. When your black ass gets off, it's a miscarriage of justice.
Playing golf all day as part of your solemn vow to "find the real killers" is one thing. I guess you wanted to make sure that country clubs across America were safe as part of your plans to keep America safe. Sure, it was funny watching white people's heads explode, but they couldn't really do anything so you should have just quit while you were ahead. Actually trying to commit more crimes is just plain stupid, because you're not Nino Brown and even if you were, he's still going to jail for tax evasion, despite paying all of the money back.
So enjoy the life in prison that they're clearly going to stick you with, Orenthal. You're not getting out, because after 14 years of trying, they've finally gotten you where they want you. And let this be a lesson to other black people who think they're going to get off from crimes. If Michael Vick wasn't the wake-up call to you, then this verdict should be. I thought that "Never Forget" was the slogan attached to 9/11, but it seems that they were really talking about O.J. Simpson.

"Forgiving Society?" In America?
Someone, anyone...tell me where can I find this "forgiving society" that we live in?
O.J. Simpson was arrested today for armed robbery. You might have heard about it. The headlines read something like this: "Convicted Murderer Simpson Robs Innocent People and Kills Them Because He's A Murderer."
I truly don't care about whether or not O.J. robbed anyone. From what I understand, he claims he was just taking back what was his and one of the people who had it doesn't even want to press charges. No word on whether or not he changed his mind because O.J. threatened to come back in his black gloves and Bruno Maglis.
But one would think that was the case, because every time O.J. has been mentioned in print media since 1994, he's referred to as a "murder suspect," or something along those lines. The white media (and white America as a whole) has never gotten past that case. I figure if you can forgive Richard Nixon for forever tarnishing the office of the President, you can mention O.J. Simpson without suggesting that he actually killed his wife.
It doesn't matter if he actually did it, because it was already proven in a court of law that he didn't do it. Get over it, white people. It's been 12 years. It's time to let it go. At the very least, just admit that this "forgiving society" you keep talking about is just a sham. You're never going to let O.J. live his life. Everything O.J. does is wrong to you, because you believe that he should be rotting in jail. Every dime he makes should be going to Ron Goldman's family and if it goes anywhere else besides that, he's evil incarnate. Forget that he's got kids. They don't deserve any of it, because they should have known better than to share DNA with a murderer.
Even when his book deal fell through, he was criticized for even being involved in the writing of the book. "If I Did It" was loudly condemned by everyone and it hadn't even been released. The Goldman Family attacked what was left of Simpson's good name in the press, claiming that he was admitted what he did and profiting off of it. They said that he was a despicable human being for trying to profit off of the lives of two young, vibrant, white human beings.
Then, a funny thing happened: The rights to that book were turned over to the Goldman family and they released it! Right now, it's the #1 ranked book on Amazon and no one has a single word about how they're profiting from their son's death, which is exactly what they had been doing since the civil trial ended in 1997. They've been bleeding O.J. Simpson dry in the name of justice. And White America has been okay with it.
No one has had anything to say about the Goldmans releasing and profiting off of the same book that O.J. was a terrible human being for writing. Well, I have something to say: Fuck the Goldman family.
I'm sorry that your son is forever lost to you, but that doesn't give you the right to be hypocrites. You people have been about the money since day one, and if you weren't, you would have never brought a civil case against O.J. Simpson. The fact that he was acquitted was never good enough for you, so you had to try to break him and you did. He was forced to give up his money, his trophies, his memorabilia, all to satisfy you. And even that wasn't enough. You criticized him for writing a book, gave him no credit for backing out of the deal, then published the book yourselves and criticized him for your ability to profit off that same book. Most of the proceeds from that book were going to his kids (and his debts), but now that you've got it, all of the money is going in your pockets. You claim that he's starving for the spotlight, but you love it when he's in it, because you're the ones who always benefit. Financially, that is.
America, the Goldmans are the ones you should be attacking in the press. Whether or not you believe O.J. killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend is irrelevant, because you can't prove anything. And whether or not he gets convicted for armed robbery has nothing to do with whether or not he killed anybody. Should he get off from this, you'll never let him live that down, either. You've got a huge problem with letting people move on from crimes that they weren't even convicted for, so I wonder who you're trying to fool with this "forgiving society" crap.
I'll bet O.J. Simpson isn't believing a word of it.
