OJ Simpson killed his ex-wife and Ron Goldman, but was found not guilty by a jury. Blacks tell us to "get over it", he was found not guilty. Reginald Denny, a completely innocent white man, was pulled from his truck and almost beaten to death. Videotape left no doubt in anyones mind (anyone with a mind) that Antoine Miller, Henry Watson, Damian Williams, Anthony Brown, Gary Williams and Lance Parker commited attempted murder. Yet Damian Williams was the only one convicted of a felony, the others got off nearly scott free. Blacks tell us to get over it, the jury ruled and we should accept it. Now 8 prison guards and a nurse have been absolved of guilt in the death of a black teenage prisoner in Florida, the jury ruled, but the blacks will not accept this. Now they claim that they can't get justice. Can someone please explain this to me.

Just like the Jena 6 crap. Those kids beat the hell out of a white kid who had nothing to do with hanging those nooses at all, other than the fact that he was white. The ringleader had a previous conviction with the law for assaulting a female. Yet they are portrayed by everyone as good kids and the victims.

Most of the evidence against OJ just wasn't credible. The cops were caught telling lie after lie, at which point it becomes impossible to believe *anything* they said.
Gloves and socks showed up, miraculously, where they should have been found on first inspection. They found bloody footprints *under* the footprints supposedly left by OJ's expensive shoes, that didn't match either of the victims, either. They found evidence on a vehicle parked crooked to the curb, although photos show that it was parked almost perfectly. The gloves didn't fit. There was a lot of missing blood, after the vial OJ gave them went missing for an extended period.
Forensic scientist Henry Lee, famous from the "woodchopper" case, wrote a book listing a dozen reasons to doubt Simpson's guilt. From the footprints alone, it seems quite likely OJ arrived on the scene after the murder had been completed, and he fled, fearing someone would think he was the person who did it.
Being present when a crime is committed does not make you guilty of a crime. As you point out, in the Reginald Denny case, they DID convict Damian Williams, who threw a slab of concrete at Denny and knocked him unconscious on April 29, 1992 - but the four cops who beat Denny senseless on March 3, 1991 went unpunished.
Prison guards are not simply to refrain from killing prisoners. They are supposed to *protect* prisoners from being killed. If a death is due to depraved indifference to life, that's first degree murder.
The thing you'll notice in all this is that cops can do anything, and they will go unpunished. How many cops were charged with perjury after they were caught lying in the OJ trial? None. How many cops were convicted of beating Denny senseless? None. How many guards were convicted of allowing a prisoner, a juvenile, under their care of dying? None.
Of all black men born between 1965 and 1969, 20 percent had been imprisoned by the time they were 30. For white men, the figure is 3 percent. Yet crimes against blacks go unpunished. The arrest rate is 5 times as high for crimes against whites.
Gee, if that's not justice, what is?

The explanation is very simple. Many people want to see justice their way. Which is why we have laws... to prevent very ignorant people from taking the law into their own hands. You seem to ask a good question... but the facts are absent. What was a teenager doing in prison in the first place. Sure you will say that he committed a crime. Your words convict OJ Simpson without giving benefit of doubt. Did you personally observe OJ Simpson commit any murders? You like millions of others witnessed the assault on Reginald Denny by an enraged mob. Remember what enraged MOBS do. Remember the history of racial hatred executed upon Blacks in the past? Yet you will say that you did not have anything to do with those acts. What is the cure? Quit looking for explanations for acts of hatred.

Its called prejudice. However prejudice has been re-defined in our society. It is ok in our society to hire someone because of their nationality, give a special holiday or month to a nationality, to allow for special programs and grants to be awarded to individuals solely based on their heritage. However these same groups are not held to the same moralities as the rest of society. They are under privileged, therefore excused from self responsibility.
Maybe this isn't so much an answer as it is an observation. It seems to me that the word "prejudice" is only used when there is a negative action when, in my opinion, prejudice is running rampant in our society. No one should be given any special considerations, positive or negative based solely on their nationality!

Some people are just not rational. They look at things one sided and its not logical. Some people are looking for attention or just want to cause trouble and controversy. I'm all for justice being served but it needs to be color blind justice and would treat everyone the same. When you dont like their complaints you can always repeat their words back to them and tell them to just get over it.

Some blacks have a warped sense of what justice is. Not all blacks, but you have your rabble rousers who think justice for the black man is different for the white man, and that is the way it should be. Hey , it should be the same justice for all.

Your little rant is so rife with inaccuracy that no coherent answer can be provided.
Depending on what cases you pick, you can get someone(black or white) to claim that justice wasn't served. By the way, saying that a whole ethnic group says that one should accept or reject a particular verdict is rediculous and not borne out in fact.
What,exactly is your real point?

I'm surprised that you did not mention the Jena 6 trial:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jena_Six
The best answer I have for you is that you have to look at each case separately, and not look at the past track record of other cases.
I hope this helps.

separate issues, do not lump them together. what needs to be done is to look at the venues ( county, state ) in which these incidents takes place. realize, but you don't have to accept it, that we live in a racist world. the governments and politicians keep this BS ongoing to take your focus off the real issues ( GOD, LOVE, PEACE, JUSTICE ). america was built on greed and being a bully. really look at the original laws of where they come from and that country's history. i could go on and on but it will just piss me off. god speed.
