Robert Blake v. O.J.

Given the remarkable silence of the media, I can't help but wonder if White people are equally as outraged by Robert Blake's acquittal as they were about O.J. Simpson's acquittal. After O.J.'s acquittal, White people cried about the failure of the justice system and rallied for professional juries. Where is that outrage now hypocrites?

Well I blame the media! Actually i am not white and cannot speak for white people, but of course even a white person cannot speak for white people. (No one ever brings one white person on a panel to represent the "white perspective" anyway). But I will admit that I have witnessed much less vigilance in terms of following the Robert Blake case amongst the population at large, rather than the OJ Simpson case. For some reason the media did not cram it down our throats and few people seemed to be aware of the evidence. I never watched any of the OJ Simpson trial proceedings, but I was constantly hearing "bloody glove" this, "DNA evidence" that, etc. I am surprised that virtually none of the details of Robert Blake's case were being detailed. We know that some girl accusing Kober Bryant of rape has semen from three different men in her panties, that she tried out for American Idol, and that she was hospitalized for depression. But few if anyone can tell you any facts of the Robert Blake case except the fact that he had a motive. Is it because Robert Blake was past his hey day and OJ Simpson was still a relevant celebrity when he got accused of murder? Maybe. But I think the media knows the heart of Americans better than we know ourselves. And the truth is we are more enthralled by court cases that involve black defendants and alleged white victims of those black defendants. They play to our fear and our hate irresponsibly as if monitoring these trials will make us better citizens. In general, I think Americans are just incapable of realling being conscientious citizens. We don't want to know what part our government is playing in illegal wars, and genocides and all kinds of crimes all over the planet. We instead allow the media to focus our attention on a couple cases that don't force us to be introspective and think about our selves. No we sit and pass judgment on the OJs, and the MJs of the world, who by the way made the cardinal sin of thinking the mainstream (and white people in particular) actually liked them and saw them as human beings worthy of the same kind of compassion and benefit of the doubt as their fellow men.

It is unfortunate that we live in a society that is filled with racism and hatred especially against blacks. You never heard much at all about Kelsey Grammar when he was accused of sexual molestation/rape. There were hardly any details....but Michael Jackson....we heard nothing but speculation, lies, false allegations snd hearsay. Much of this coming from the media. The real killer is that after detroying Michael they took the liberty of destroying the life and career of another black man...his doctor. I have always believed it eas the cruelty of the media and the viscious people who lied on Michael that truely caused his death. Conrad Murray was a scape goat. There are so many injustices, too many to count.Whites award whites that kill blacks, even black children. Michael Brown, Trevon Martin just to name two of the more publicized. Money was raised for the killers that should have been given to the families of the slsin youths. Whitney Houston died and was labeled the world's greatest drug user. Her supplier... no one ever looked at the white man who discovered her and had been with her for many, many years. However when other celebraties who are have also struggled with addiction and are white die it's excused and never in the media for long. They also don't publicize their autopsy results in the media as they did with Whitney. Didn't hear it with Robin Williams or any of the others. Very sad how the media attacks black athletes to the point of destroying the images of the "Black Hero" for black children as well as all blacks. Hardly ever do they do this to a white man, especially a celebrity. The OJ Simpson case and the Robert Blake case are simular. However, we pretty much know that Black didn't leave something in the restuarant, go back to get it leaving Bonnie in the car in an alley to come back minutes later and find her murdered execution style. For what reason...there wasn't a robbery. The only thing that makes since is a hit-man was hired by blake. The way they did OJ to send him to prison based on a set-up to get revenge for something he was acquitted of and there was no concrete evidence that he committed the crime he was acquitted of says a mouthful about the American justice system. A CORRUPT RACIST SYSTEM.
