A Rehash of the LOOK Magazine Confession

What do you know about the Emmitt Till case? That landmark civil rights murder, you know the one where the KKK killed Chicago native Emmitt, and the murderers skated!!! Then to add insult to fatal injury, the suspects damn-near confessed to the crime in that now-defunct photo magazine LOOK (where Stanley Kubrick got his start). Nothing ever happened to those good ol'boys until recently when the case was revisited and those bastards finally got their cummupence!

I bring this up because I still can't get over the fact that OJ Simpson is making another grasps at the spotlight with this book/2-part TV event in which he explores, kinda like Geraldo Rivera, what possibly happened that one fatalful night in Brentwood, California (a tony suburb/enclave if there ever was one). Not to put my vote in the "He Did" or the "He Didn't" basket, but damn NIGGA! why can't you live out your days in France! Or someplace in Europe where you can still get some dap! Europe harbored the likes of God knows how many African strongmen/mass murderers, and those people got on with their lives and didn't cause a stink (to my knowledge) in the public view.

Granted this fool claimed to continue looking for the "real killers" steadfastedly after he skated in LA Superior Court and then took it on the chin in Ventura County Civil Court.

The thing about OJ that boggles my muthafuckin' mind is why hasn't some really pissed-the-fuck-off white person hasn't pulled a Jack Ruby on his ass!?!?! Do lone gunmen theories only work with Presidents and Presidential Candidates? Imagine some crackpop Thai dude who wasn't even in America (or spoke English) when the OJ shit went down, and he just rolls up on OJ, pulls a Glock and starts bucking?!?!

So OJ's Fox special could get him in serious trouble as you don't know what flames will be fanned by this activity... another big question is, what sponsors are paying for the programming? ReganBooks is publishing the "What If" book of "What If" books, and I bet they make a killing. I have to assume that OJ doesn't take any payment, but funnels all proceeds to his children's trust funds (otherwise Goldman's pop's would have his hand out... the little bitch; I say that 'cause he's only mad that he cain't get his pound of flesh).

I know Johnnie Cochran is spinning in his grave; 'cause this move just tarnished his legacy (as OJ's can't be tarnished any further) and he was a great man.

See the thing about killing White Women (especially a blonde) is that society at large holds that designation up to the highest level of lauding. And to nearly behead such a sacrosanct personage AND NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS just smacks the mouth of the sinister "undercurrent" of Power, Prestige and Privellege in this so-called Great Nation of "ours." You have to really give Cochran his props for handing the LA DA's office their ass. Because it wasn't a matter of how much money was spent on the case, but what kind of blow to society the "not guilty" verdict struck! If you ever get a chance to rummage through some old TV footage of people avidly hanging over their TV sets in HUGE groups awaiting the verdict (like some damn movie), notice how the niggas are just rejoicing -- either explosively or cautiously/silently and then notice the agog expressions on the rest of the races and ethnic groups in the country...

I wonder who is going to watch the show? Or just TiVo it? Better yet, who is going to admit to watching it?!?!! I know that I'll peep... under the auspecies that I can fire off a missive about it later on.
