Race!!!! (oh no he didn't!)

The day before the Kentucky Derby, O.J. Simpson was kicked out of a restaurant by the owner because the owner was sickened by O.J.’s “past”. (You can read the article here: http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/owner-boots-oj-simpson-from-restaurant/20070509092009990001) As much as I want to understand the owner’s actions and say this was justified, don’t we have to have respect for our justice system? I know it’s not always just…..or anything even resembling fair. If we no longer believe in our legal system what will that do to our community…our country…our civilization?

Some people say it’s still a race thing with O.J. Simpson. A lot of people say there is no way because they are not racist. If you would like to know if you are subconsciously racist there is a test you can take. Here is the link for that:

Harvard spent a lot of time making this test; the least you could do is take it. It’s really easy all you have to do is press two keys. I’m not sure if it works for everyone but it was spot on with me. (Just to save you some time….if you take the test and you don’t agree with the results and you decide to take it again….you will get the same results.)

That's a good idea...hey to make even more justice let’s just stop prosecuting all African Americans. They did have it rough four hundred years ago...no we can't do that. How about we don't prosecute any African American that were alive four hundred years ago? Good idea "whatever"!
