Chris Rock's stand up can unite people, it's that funny:content:

You mean,“After college, Barry went into the black neighborhoods in Chicago to try to organize] people...how white is that?”

Karma caught up with him, he was guilty of something, either the killings themselves or hiring someone to do it for him.

You know.. we have discussed before that you tend to think Racism against blacks is a problem in this country.. Well then--O.J. Killed a white woman and got off. Kobe raped a white woman and got off . (No pun intended) Vick kills a dog and goes to prison.

Obviously we value dogs more than white women in this country.

Ok, and now the rest of the story:

OJ: Chris Rock hit this right on the head, it wasn't about race it was about money and fame. You know if OJ was a bus driver, he would have been Orenthal the bus driving murderer. But you have to remember, there were alot of issues during the trial:

Samples from bloody shoeprints leading away from the bodies and from the back gate of the condominium were tested for DNA matches.^[10] Initial polymerase chain reaction testing did not rule out Simpson as a suspect. In more precise restriction fragment length polymorphism tests matches were found between Simpson's blood and blood samples taken from the crime scene (both the shoe prints in blood and the gate samples).^[9][10]

Police criminalist Dennis Fung testified that this DNA evidence put Simpson at Nicole Brown's townhouse at the time of the murders. But in cross-examination by Barry Scheck, which lasted eight full days, most of the DNA evidence was questioned. Dr. Robin Cotton, of Cellmark Diagnostics, testified for six days.^[15] Blood evidence had been tested at two separate laboratories, each conducting different tests.^[15]

Despite that safeguard, it emerged during the cross-examination of Fung and the other laboratory scientists that the police scientist Andrea Mazzola (who collected blood samples from Simpson to compare with evidence from the crime scene) was a trainee who carried the vial of Simpson's blood around in her lab coat pocket for nearly a day before handing it over as an exhibit. While two errors had been found in the history of DNA testing at Cellmark, one of the testing laboratories, in 1988 and 1989, the errors were found during quality control tests and had not occurred since.^[15] In the 1988 test, one of the companies hired for DNA consulting by Simpson's defense also made the same error.^[9] What should have been the prosecution's strong point became their weak link amid accusations that bungling police technicians handled the blood samples with such a degree of incompetence as to render the delivery of accurate and reliable DNA results almost impossible. The prosecution argued that they had made the DNA evidence available to the defense for its own testing, and if the defense attorneys disagreed with the prosecution's tests, they could have conducted their own testing on the same samples.^[15] The defense had chosen not to accept the prosecution's offer

In closing arguments, Darden ridiculed the notion that police officers might have wanted to frame Simpson.^[5] He questioned why, if the LAPD was against Simpson, they went to his house eight times on domestic violence calls without arresting him before eventually citing him for abuse in 1989, and why they then waited five days to arrest him for the 1994 murders.^[5]

Cochran's jury summation compared Fuhrman, proven to have repeatedly referred to African-Americans as "niggers" and to have boasted of beating young African-Americans in his role as a police officer, to Adolf Hitler, a technique which was later criticized by Robert Shapiro and by at least one juror,^[5] as well as Ron Goldman's father, Fred Goldman. Cochran called Fuhrman "a genocidal racist, a perjurer, America's worst nightmare and the personification of evil."^[5] Fuhrman later pleaded Nolo contendere to felony charges of perjury, arising from his testimony in Simpson's trial.

Kobe and the woman, that story had a bunch of issues with it as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant_sexual_assault_case Once again, money and fame can get you out of anything.

Michael Vick wasn't rich enough or famous enough to get away with it.

As the late George Jefferson once said, if you have enough green in your pocket, then black becomes your favorite color.
