O.J.: Made in America

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Someone posted a link about it in a thread about the FX docudrama.

I've watched the first three episodes. To this point it is one of the greatest documentaries I've seen and sets the standard for an analysis of the intersection of race, class, and celebrity in America.

Kinda an uppity thing to say...

How narcissistic.

All sorts of executions were public, as were many battles in war.

Even the legendary actor Christopher, notable for a long resume and having died just last year, witnessed the last execution by guillotine, performed publicly while he was a child in Paris.

Before TV and the internet all of humanity 'entertained' themselves witnessing all sorts of macabre things.

But it's all about whitey and blackey in ARROWtheRacist's mind.

Everything in ARROWtheRacist's mind is whitey -v- blackey.

Well apart from the fact that you haven't presented a truth yet, I can assure you that nothing you've said will cost me a moments sleep.

Try to remember that next time you think whitey gives much of a shit about you either way.

The universe is indifferent, my racist friend. I have far more important things to worry about than repressing a demographic who's doing a pretty good job of burying themselves on their own.

You are late for the klan meeting

Racists don't like to hear about themselves. It's funny as hell. Oh and **** you very much for the kind words.

Are there people out there that actually think OJ didn't kill those two?

[HemiEd]

I watched episode two last night. If only they would have shown the Rodney King beating a few more times, they may have been able to stoke a little more hate.

I saw this episode last night. I appeared to me that the knife was inserted and twisted, which is why there were large gaping holes.

Evil.

Right. So breaking into ones house and stealing expensive shit is bullshit? Stay the **** wherever the hell you are and out of my town.

That's the first I've heard of the picnic thing.

The whole racism angle is always so foreign to me. I've never been compelled to hate somebody because they're black or whatever. It obviously existed, and probably still does. But I have plenty of mother****ers to hate that actually deserve it, I don't feel compelled to arbitrarily hate people. That doesn't have anything to do with your post but I thought I should say it.

The Cosby thing was especially bad. He had taken a very public stance that black men should earn the respect of whomever through their actions. And then it turns out that the only guy (that I know of) spreading that message - which needs to be heard by ALL young men, not just black men - turns out to be a kiddie diddler. Damn it.

I wish other celebrities would adopt that message.

There is no 'picnic' thing.

I finished watching all the parts and wow! In his agent and another guys interviews the stories they told were him admitting guilt in a nutshell. His agent point blank. The Las Vegas thing is comical as hell. Bunch of nut balls with no sense.
