TTT/Rolling Stone magazine scribe Toure on Ohhhjjj
This is a quote from a blog about Ohhjjj and the case. The thought in bold is pretty much my thoughts about the whole system.
A decade after the murders, the Editor's Desk Roundtable reviewed the recent O.J. Simpson interviews. Comedian Jessi Klein said she watched to see if the interviewers will "make it through." Toure (no description or last name necessary) said "his life since the verdict has been pathetic" as if "you freed a slave and then he became a couch patoto." Tina interjected, "I thought he spent his time doing coke and girls." Attorney Ed Hayes disagreed said, "You get away with murder in America, and his kids are doing fine. That's it. That's the way it works." And Michael Daly of The Daily News said "the bigger question is what have we learned from this case." Perhaps that we can still suck it for ratings?
Toure explained black America to Tina: "I think most black people think he's guilty, but they're kind of laughing and snickering at the system. . . We don't love him, we're not happy people got murdered. . . we're not happy he got off, except we are because one of us won one time."
