Everyone wants to look for all the petty reasons for why they are different or unique, without spending the equal amount of time trying to figure out we all have in common.>> Well said Ron. As for the OJ trial.. that was not reflection. That was incredible BullSht and racial fearmongering. >>> It was BullSht but also reflection....as it is my children's school (and it is important for me to keep them in real, not private school) where kids of same age seem to have little in common

Also I am afraid that one day things will get lot worse not better... There is little reason to believe that they will get better

But these events are not supported by the gov't in power. Rather they are actions of a select few who happen not to believe in equality or racial harmony. >>>> Wait a second I missed that line..You are joking right? It is precisely GVn that exacerbates the problem, pushing it to further Balkanise people 1. First action is to bestow priveleges (based on race not economic status 2,. second to take away the bestowed privileges (again based on race) That is exact Balkans-pitting one side against another...where is a winner there is a looser, so much for we are all Americans....(and that is regardless of what side you are taking-result is polarisation/balkanisation-Thanks to the Gvn)

Ron, I believe goldsnow was right in pretending that the OJ trial sums up pretty well the race issue in the US --however, goldsnow should have watched the WHOLE OJ Simpson ''movie''... I remember watching the verdict live on CNN: when Judge Itoh(?) acquitted OJ for every criminal charge, OJ's face unwound like he was escaping the hot seat! Personally, I'm convinced of OJ's guilt in what looked like a double first-degree murder but, as I put it to barrister Chris Hodgkin, there isn't such a thing as ''Justice''. The US Social Order was at stake (the OJ case unfolded after the Rodney King beating-up!). Anyway, the irony of this prime-time law soap happened when the LAPD got smeared by the racist scoffing of police officer Furman: OJ's lawyers asked for the jury to listen to the tape-recorded phone conversations of the Los Angeles Police Dept. So, the LAPD got embarrassed about being broadcasted worldwide as a bigot, severily prejudiced police corp, hence LAPD's police chief came to the press and told the journalists that everything was just fine within LAPD and Furman was an isolated black sheep, in short, the usual enervating talk --LAPD police chief was a black man.
