"Dave S spewed, It sounds like most of the people here are glad OJ is going to prison because he is a black celebrity and is perceived to be guilty of having gotten away with murder of a couple white people.

One has to wonder if [YOU ALL] all held similar outrage for Byron De La Beckwith getting away with the murder of Medgar Evers for over 30 years. Did you cheer when he was finally convicted in 1994 after a third trial and having boasted about the committing the murder at a KKK rally?
Some things will never change in this country."

Okay, I fell for your trolling; I know you typed 'most' but even that was a poor choice... To label a community, of whom you know nothing about, as racist. Your last statement, IS the epitome of hipocracy. You sir, are without question, the real dinosaur here. Either you've been living under a rock or still wet behind the ears.

Realizing race is still a barrier for some, it's a work in progress... I see more and more white folks sickened by prejudice and speak out against it, when just a few decades ago, "we" just turned a blind eye in fear of being shunned. I suggest you compare recent history with today and perhaps you won't continue to make the mistake of stereotyping the two!

Incidentally, I'm CERTAIN everyone here is repulsed by that monster Beckwith. I'll also add, I understand your passion, but your tone is accusatory and confrontational. When trying to make a point, try a little tact. Those of us that frequent this board know the score and DO give a damn. Stick around, you'll see for yourself. If I appear PO'd, then good. -Steve F
