<< The OJ case was a rare reversal in the historical pattern, and we all know it was a racial pay-back for centuries of frames, set-ups, and cover-ups. >>

The OJ case really solidified an "us versus them" wall between blacks and whites in this country. The sight of black college students, and the majority of blacks across the country applauding the freeing of an obviously guilty "black" double murderer, drove the racial divide further apart.

<< ... while the convictions are heavily over-represented by all white juries with a black (and poor) defendant. >>

This doesn't bother me as much as the significant, and constant, threat of black crime against decent families, both black and white. I'll guarantee you that there are far more victims of black crime, then there are innocent blacks falsely imprisoned.
