The Michael Jackson verdict is bringing the racists out in force
On some of the other message boards I frequent, a common theme seems to be:

"I can't believe those liberals and queers in California let another (not nice word for a black man) off the hook."


It's sad/amusing to see how many people are incensed and indignant that the criminal justice system would work in favor of a black man, and worst of all, a famous black man.

4. Are they nuts?
Did you see the jury press conference and how conscientious they were in their deliberations? The big problem was the government said the cover up conspiracy started 19 days before the molestation. Duh??

14. No they were not
I saw at least 3 or 4 hispanics, including the foreperson. And, where Jackson lives there are less than 3% of the population black.

7. where was their outrage about these cases?
birmingham bombers
medgar evers murderers
it took over 40 years to convict the guilty as sin defendants in these cases.
the silence was defeaning when these convictions were announced...if i recall correctly, during or shortly after the OJ trial/verdict.

just for the heck of it, i'll add in emmet till, since that case has been reopened...after 50 years.

18. Also alot of classism
There seemed to be alot of disgust with the fact that he is rich. I won't even mention all the people who don't like him becaues he's "weird."

Being "weird" is the biggest sin in the USA, ya know...

13. Notice the silence
at the result of Robert Blake's murder trial.

I noticed that OJ is starting to come up in conversation. He had nothing to do with this.

16. ......
The bottom line The state did a poor job making its case...Dont forget the baggage that the mother brought the table in the case..


She saw a paycheck from Michael Jackson, if you know that this man his a history with sleeping with little kids but yet you are going to let your child hang out at his home? and sleep there.
