The fact is that most people think these crimes are awful. The fact is that saying they are awful doesn t make you any kind of a rebel anymore. And, oh yeah, the fact is that Mumia is guilty. But just like with Mumia and the thousands of Hollywood activists, campus Lenins, and credit-card Che Gueveras out there, facts spoil the fun. There is racism.
Racism is unfair to black people.
O.J. is black. O.J. killed his wife and her friend. He thinks it s unfair to blame him. Therefore he is the victim of racism. Racism absolves you of killing.
