NWSF Bullet: Why America Needs OJ

Let me say this from the jump. Most black folks couldn't care less about OJ Simpson. After all the tears that we have cried over political prisoners like Mumia Abu Jamal and Jamil Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), not to mention Uncle Willie who still claims that he didn't knock over that liqour store back in the day, forgive me if we don't have any Kleenex's to waste on a man best known for always running through airports for no apparent reason in the old Hertz commercials.

However, why does white America feel the need to pull out "OJ in a Box" every couple of years, especially when there is a major story circulating around the black community with the smoking gun of white racism.

Seems that anytime that the media want to divert our attention they just go get OJ, dust him off and place his smiling face in front of the camera. It's almost like they have him trapped behind a "break in case of emergency" glass.

Or anytime they need a black bad guy to counter some white act of racism, they get OJ. I wish that I had a dollar for everytime over the last decade, I've heard a white person who was trying to justify white bigotry say...

"Yeah, but what about OJ!!!!"

Black children harrased for sitting under a white's only tree and a black teen gets unjustly sentenced...

No problem, get OJ ....

Black woman tortured and forced to eat poop...

um, OJ...

White comic launches a N bomb tirade at black patrons at a comedy club...

Ditto ..

OJ goes to court tomorrow..I can just see him leaving court doing that scene from the movie Scarface...

"You need people like me so you can point your ***** fingers and say 'that's the bad guy."

So until the next episode of white racism...

Say goodnight to the bad guy.
