Race relations and the American justice system

[Tut77]

I'm curious if all of the people who are so angered over OJ have equal anger/ animosity over the numerous instances of all-white juries throughout the years who either (1) acquitted white defendants who murdered and lynched blacks or (2) convicted innocent blacks of crimes against whites which were proven to be false. And please PLEASE! someone ask me for examples....

Or are you able to write it off for some reason? Somehow it's different?

Who's angry?

I think it's great that he's going away. :)

Most people on this board would say that those white defendents should have gone to jail, just as OJ should have gone to jail a long time ago, period.

Well, a miscarriage of justice is a miscarriage of justice, no matter what the race is.

Those white supremacists in Texas that tied up James Byrd and dragged him behind their truck should have been immediately executed as soon as they were convicted. I believe those pieces of human scum are still on death row. It's been over 10 years. If true, I'd like to know why. What's wrong with our justice system when you have to wait years to carry out justice. Doesn't make sense.

The OP hasn't been back.

Maybe we should merge this with the hit and run thread. :OLS:

And he doesn't know Tailgate very well.

Should have started a thread about gay marriage, the ACLU, or Gitmo.

Not a troll. I haven't been back because it was Friday night and I had stuff to do.
