Right but you asked me a question.

Feel free to expound on the similarities between the OJ trial and the Duke trial. I'd be quite interested to hear about them.

You shouldn't be. There are a lot of general points to be made from such events.

Please then, by all means, expand your thoughts on the similarities between the OJ Simpson/Duke Cases and the "points" that can be made from both.

Let me see if I follow: You haven't formed an opinon, because you wait for the legal system. The legal system has made its decision, but you still haven't formed an opinion? This causes me to question the reliability of your first statement.

Also, if you have no opinion, are you simply choosing to play devil's advocate for those who think they are innocent. I don't agree with the thought that 2 guys who really had nothing to do with the case should apologize, but you keep implying that they're not innocent.

Yeah, that doesnt make much sense does it?? What I really mean to say is that the person who should be aplogizing to these three young men is me. For not standing up to the bigots that tried to persecute these men just for the color of their skin. For letting these men fall victim to an angry black america with an axe the grind, For letting these types try to socially neuter every white male in america, including me, for years making ME feel guilty that I was born a middle class white male. Fuck them. I'm sick of being blamed for every goddamn problem in this country.

Ok again, how is Al Sharpton dividing anyone? And why would he apologize?

hell. yes.

I don't really care about an apology or anything, but its nice to hear this kind of honesty. I don't want anything from this portion of the black community, other than to not be blamed for things I have no realistic part in.

He is dividing the public over race.

He should apologize for Tiwana Brawley and his accusations in the Duke case.

Of course, African Americans are not going to protest against Sharpton and ask that his media privileges be taken away - like those of Imus. Instead they're going to say Sharpton doesn't represent them, that whites have been getting away with this for so long, etc. etc. and shy away from addressing this.

Black America should give each of the Duke players 40 acres and a Bentley.
