    And a white man with a brown woman will get strange looks in parts of the country and world.

    Take it from one who knows.

    If you've gotten to this point in your life and still think black and white America have had the same experiences with police and thus view them the same way, there really isn't a whole lot I can say to help you.

    O.J. was harrassed throughout his life. Treated terribly. Guy could hardly catch a break.

    Referencing that while blacks and whites' experiences can vary greatly when it comes to treatment by law enforcement, some people who do not apply to that reality can still use use it in their defense. Basically, O.J. wasn't mistreated until he needed to be a victim to save his ass. Maybe that applies here. Maybe it doesn't.

    Well, that proves a rule.

    More black men are in jail than in college. One in three black males can expect to go to prison during their lifetime.

    But throw O.J. in there, because he sure proves they are all guilty, unlike all those good white people who never get in trouble with the law. O.J. is representative of EVERY black man who can expect to go to jail in his lifetime.

    Mmm hmm.

    As Godwin's law addresses the probability that online conversations will eventually get around to Hitler, there should be an axiom that all discussions on race will eventually get around to O.J.

    I wonder where it's worse for a black man to be seen with a white woman, Alabama or Boston? :D
