I feel that neither party represents our interests (except the GOP for fiscal conservatives, at least in rhetoric)but they have a long way to go.<br /><br />I think that once Black folk realize that voting INDEPENDENT for issues and not parties is the best way to go.<br /><br />As ever, I remain Independent.Mahndisa S.

My first stop and you grabbed me. <br /><br />I have to say, as a white boy who was raised in the Deep South till the age of ten, then whisked away to the West Coast, you are right. There are different styles and forms of racism. Some we can all live with, and some we can't.<br /><br />Myself, I'm nobody's authority on racism. But I did just recently move back to the South, and frankly, my jaw continues to hit the ground everytime someone says something that would have gotten them shot anywhere else. I don't get it. Well, actually, I do. I know enough about shootings, beatings, taserings (to death), burnings, draggings, and whatever else that I get why people don't want this shit to turn any uglier than it already does.<br /><br />I also get why black people in the South look at me funny. They are all just waiting for that knife in the back, that shot in the dark, that cruel comment. I'll never be trusted by either side because I don't sound like I'm "from here," and no black person with a sound mind would trust a white person to any great extent. <br /><br />Ain't that some shit?<br /><br />But, it's fair. In their place, I wouldn't run that risk either.<br /><br />Back onto OJ, if I may. I had no idea if he was guilty or not, but I knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that the LAPD was criminally crooked. They are like the Mafia, but without the dress code. Fuckers.<br /><br />I guess I should shut-up now, before I embarrass myself any further. <br /><br />Dude.

I still don't get the depth to which America was polarized over the OJ case, but it reallllly was. And the fake solidarity is obvious, except we had been victims of police brutality for so long that many of us had trust that the investigation was conducted above board and that OJ would get a fair trial precisely because he was black married to a White woman-stirs up the worst fears of rednecks in the South.<br /><br />So in our zeal to make sure everything was fair for him, I think many of us got carried away and ascribed innocence to him without adequate information, while similarly most of White America called him guilty before the trial began. That case was a very sad reflexion of our racially conscious society!<br /><br /><br />Field:<br />As to Peter Norman, I didn't know that was his name but he was special. RIP!Mahndisa S.
