Comments on: Critics Tackle O.J. 'True Crime' Book

Simpson Book And TV Special Ellicit Storm Of Protest, Even From Within Fox Empire

[lochlan-2009]

The only place that just about every person in the country has heard or found out about this book is the media. You don't get better advertising than this and it's all free, which is good for O.J considering the whole point he wrote the book was to get paid, especially since no one will employ him and he is obviously close to being bankrupt.

Jane4 and jlscan love your post, nothing like good dialogue, to perk up a sleeping giant, racism. "kailumego-My question remains, what and when is enough? Do you want all white people dead?? As for the welfare system-I don't believe Johnson's Great Society of the 60's had a *** thing to do with WWII. And while we are bickering back and forth the dreaded FOX site is running a headline story on the horrendous goings on in Darfur. Now, that's something the entire world needs to be ashamed about."
Exduse you, it was post WWII, during Roosvelt's administration that the bulk of these social programs such were created, you do remember "Black Monday", the stock market crash, spiralling many into a major depression. Although, true Johnson did past the civil rights bill, which cost him the election, and supported many civil rights iniatives. It was during Roosvelt's administration that the bulk of social programs took shape, of which, it was intended to serve the needs of white America.

All this *** about white people owing a debt, well I say go find your ancestors and current relatives over there in africa since it`s so horrible here.As far a the Japanese getting reparations, they earned it because before WWII they were constructive and productive members of society and did not try and sit back and blame everyome else for living in ghetto conditions.Look at all the different groups that came to America... Europeans and Asians and Spanish came here and worked their tails off.I ask this.. did the U.S. government give handouts to the irish or german people that came here...NO !!! The problem is with the last couple of generations of African-Americans that think the world owes them a living.The people that lived under slavery and segregation are the ones who suffered, not this lazy generation.I pass through these ghetto areas every day and I see brand new cars and satellite dishes on the roofs while the house is falling apart, some of these people I work with and they make the same living as I do but won`t even repair their homes.. easier to blame someone else or expect a government handout then pay for it.

Gotta tell the sheep what to do, eh, Oleander? LOL

The sheep posters can't think for themselves; and they are too faint of heart to handle rhetoric, mere blips on a computer screen. LOL

Little wonder that the INNOCENT OJ causes your blood to boil so much -- ignorance and weakness, and of course racism.

Your own racism is the source of your own weakness and demise. Ain't karma a b!tch. It works in mysterious ways -- misery and death at the hands of one's own racist mental poison.

Jane, if you don't want to 'pay and pay', and your descendants 'pay and pay', then YOU can end racism now, since you don't like to part with your god, the almighty dollar! LOL

However, if your kind hasn't been perpetuating racism, then there will be no need to 'pay and pay'. One way or another, ALL karmic debts are paid. Your ignorance will not get in the way. That I can assure you.

I also know your ignorant devilish kind likes to revise history and make it appear that slavery was somehow the Africans' fault, by talking nonsense about 'Africans selling Africans'.

Well know this!

Even if we assume Africans were selling Africans, the selling of Africans WAS NOT THE PROBLEM!

The KIDNAPPING ACROSS THE SEAS AND THE ENSLAVING AFRICANS WERE THE PROBLEM.
And the ignorance and bigotry your ancestors bequeathed you so that you may perpetuate ignorance and racism to this day is the problem.

But why are we wasting our time trying to enlighten the near dead; you are 60 and too old to learn wisdom and virtue. May be next lifetime. LOL

[lavonne21]

SHAME, SHAME on you BARNES & NOBLE, lest not forget BORDERS bookstores... anything for a buck! Including and promoting the lifestyle of an obvious killer!
DO NOT PATRONIZE BARNES & NOBLE, or BORDERS bookstores!!
Disgusting greed!

[powersmaker]

i must be socially inept. have a great day!!

[lavonne21]

What is just as appalling as O.J., is the media providing a stage to "sell" his b.s. book! Anyone, regardless of color, that believes O.J. deserves financial acknowledgement is obviously under educated in more than one way, and a loser in their own right. Humm... what & who was the original jury made up of? Ah.. yes, I think that answered all common sense questions!

[kailumego1]

Powersmaker, you most certainly are in denial, either you've become so assimilated as to over look the insidious comments and undercover racial slurs, or just socially inept.

[powersmaker]

kailumego1 ...

I am an African American ... and your still wrong.

Live in the now.

I am not in convenient denial of anything.

good night.

[kailumego1]

Yes, O.J. is a pig, however, he didn't just magically become one, and the issue is about race, of which yourself and others are completely in convenient denial.

But this is not atypical of many whites that like to convince themselves otherwise, everything, person, cultural aspect, etc.,etc., has been [is] based on race, and putting blinders on isn%u2019t going to make it %u201Cpoof%u201D and go away..

[oleander8]

Fellow posters: you should treat "Agnims" posts the same way you should treat OJ's book - let it drop off the end of the page and don't give it the dignity of your attention.

[powersmaker]

OJ is a pig ....

And I could care less whether he is black, green, white, or purple.

Any discussion of racism as it relates to OJ Simpson is utterly rediculous.

[kailumego1]

JaneM4, FYI, white America, hasn't begun to pay its debt due to blacks as a result of the social indignities and atrocities, for 300+ years of racial degradation.

And its interesting, but a typical comment, how much more does white America has to pay, well, let me see, you didn%u2019t have a problem paying reparations to the Japanese, for forcing them onto interment camps. HYPOCRISY!!!!

As for our flawed welfare system, initially it was designed to aid middle-class whites post WWII, not blacks, it was only after Constitutional debate [14th Amendment violation] by protesters that blacks were able to receive monetary compensation.

And as far as %u201CAffirmative Action%u201D, I%u2019m still puzzled why so many %u201Cwhite women%u201D so vehemently protest, when it is them whom are the primary beneficiaries. You cut off your nose to spite your face!!!!!!!

All of this hate rhetoric back and forth only proves how racially polarized this country still is, and although I think O.J. is guilty, it doesn%u2019t change the injustices of the criminal justice system, only money talks.

[kailumego1]

Sunshine_2 "My Admitting to the racial inequality and atrocities in America does not give me license to "spread the hate and fear of racism", by giving it voice in every manner, at every opportunity".

Your very comment demonstrates the double-talking hypocrisy that exists among some white Americans.

So, its ok to "spread the hate and fear of terrorism", but God forbid if we dare talk about race or racial inequality, then it becomes the %u201Crace card%u201D.

There have always been social/economic barriers between blacks and whites, extending to all facets [institutions] within our society, of which the government and legal system have treated minorities duplicitously.

[kailumego1]

%u201CThis Violent type personality is not a race issue, but is sometimes the personality flaw, fueled by the violent nature of some sports and the need to win at all cost. On top of the allusion that: No Woman Can Say No To Them ... or They Really Wanted It, and did not mean it when they said No%u201D

I am well aware that this %u201Cviolent%u201D type personality is not exclusive to one particular race, but the issue is %u201Cequal justice%u201D, and not whether one race is dismissed from the equation, or commits acts of violence tandem to the other.

I know white men violently abuse their girlfriends, spouses, ex-spouses etc., but a black man is more likely to be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for crimes identical to whites.

Although many of you are under the assumption blacks demonstrate more violent criminal behavior, due to the fact greater than 50% of those incarcerated are black, wrong.

Black males are more likely to get pulled over, arrested, prosecuted and convicted for identical crimes, in which white males are often given a slap on the wrist.

%u201CO.J.'s Abuse of Nicole was well documented in the Trial, as his behavior & need to control her, as well as his fear of losing his children and his fall from Iconic Fame. He is known to have had a mentality of: "if he could not have her, no one else should be dating her either." Nicole sought divorce based on an abusive relationship & a fear for their children%u2019s well being%u201D.

[kailumego1]

O.J.%u2019s abuse of his first wife was also well documented, along with his insanely possessive behavior, well, what%u2019s the point, I don%u2019t see it being mentioned here. He didn%u2019t just magically one day become an abuser; he%u2019s had years of pent-up hostility and rage.

And I%u2019m quite sure Nicole Brown knew well before she married him his psychological maladaptiveness and anti-social behavior.

The problem with most of the people whom have posted, they are too filled with their own racial biases and bigotry to acknowledge racial disparities exist.

Most of the comments have been out of %u201Cemotional passions%u201D and not logical reasoning, likewise, most individuals have not graduated from the demons of the past to make good sound judgment.

Statements about O.J. has focus more on superficial nonsense than dialoguing about both his and Nicole Brown Simpson%u2019s lives.

When I look at him as a person, I see a seriously flawed individual whom has a history of psychological and physical battery towards women, when you look at him; you see an animal [black] that committed the Cardinal sin, of sexual licentious behavior with a white woman.

When I look at Nicole Brown I see a woman whom apparently has had a long history of picking abusers, because she didn%u2019t magically one day become a victim.

I know most of you would like to forget, but there was once a time when a black man couldn%u2019t dare look at, or touch a white woman, although, a white man could legally violate and viciously rape a black woman.

What is interesting about all those who vehemently protest his book, it is your venomous comments that will help this book become a %u201Cbest seller%u201D, curiosity.

And the reason this has become such a %u201Chuge%u201D issue, it taps into the racial consciousness of white American, with its loathing intolerance and bigotry.

Of which, all the post that has unleashed the %u201Csavagery%u201D of white rage is merely a tell-a-tell sign that this country is still racially backwards and fixated interracial relationships, particularly black men and white women%u2026.

I must say, out of all the ignorant and childish remarks made here, and there are many, the one that disturbs me the most is this one:

" Yes - I will pass judgement without the facts. It's an American Tradition."

"Sunshine, agnim started it. He's the racist. Tell him to stop.
Also, haven't heard any other comment but from you."

Though you may not have heard anyone else complain on this "single post" aboutbeing tired of Racist Attaks or Racial slurs .... many complaints are out there On this site in other Blogs.

A Simple Fact is that Cbs Rules Restrictins include: .... "no insulting groups or individuals, no ethnic slurs and/or epithets, no religious bigotry, no threats of any kind, no bathroom humor, no comparing anyone to Hitler, Stalin...."
ethnis slurs ... includes making any Racialy Degrading Comments or drawing likeness for conclusions based on an ethnicity or race.
Please just Read the Rules ... Remain Civil in Debating the Topic .... or Don't post what is Publicly Offensive in Nature.
