[quote=Anonymous]OP, Your post is disheartening, it suggests you don't have any understanding of race relations in the U.S. Even if you don't agree with the reaction, I'm surprised you cannot analyze the response. For instance, do you not know that that police brutality, death sentences, NYC's current stop-and-frisk program. all involve a disproportionate amount of Blacks? You've heard of racial profiling, correct? Some events are not to be taken literally. They become symbols, and the facts and circumstances fall to the wayside. OJ's trial became a symbol for all sorts of systemic injustices -- going back centuries. I was stunned that so many African Americans were jubilant at the verdict. But it reminded me of how divided our perceptions of the judicial system are. Have we made any progress? I honestly don't know.[/quote]
