I get you totally. I am:
Jewish, Russian, German, Polish, with the possibility of Italian (we're still tracing the family tree as my Mom's Mom was adopted and sadly passed when my Mom was only 6). My daughter is the same background with Irish and Scottish (my ex-husband's background).
I AM A GOOD PERSON
I AM AN HONEST PERSON
WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS (some however are catagorized at MONSTERS, like O.J.)
I could be green, purple, black, orange, yellow, blue with white stripes for all I care, it's inside of each and everyone of us that makes us who we are, we are WHO we are NOT WHAT we are. A butt is a butt, regardless of their colour, ethnicity, religion, etc... If you are a nasty individual on the inside, well, you are simply nasty on the outside. The unfortunate part, yes...I agree with you the RACE CARD will never go away. I have sat in rooms when derrogatory comments have been made about Jews and I'm sitting right there. Afterall we JEWS aren't running around with a tattoo on our forehead stating 'I'm a JEW', so how is one to know I'm Jewish, especially when daily I get told I look italian, greek, french. I think I look like me. This is absolutely nothing to do with RACE, this whole O.J. issue is about a monster who walked away GUILTY as hell, simply because a court of law and jury said he was innocent in the criminal trial. Which is an injustice within itself. Mistakes are made daily and quite frankly there's a few too many ignorant people full of HATE and ANGER on these boards, I will continue to post in defence of myself and others such as you Jewel (and another great lady named Julie who posts quite often), hope it's ok to use that pseudonym. Discriminatory and Racist and Anti-Jewish HATE will never leave, if it weren't black against white (the ignorant idiots who feel this way) in our society, it would be GREEN EYES hating BROWN, and long haired people hating short haired people, wide footed people hating narrow footed people and so on and so forth.
Those hate mongers must live with themselves and if it's convenient and EASY for them to utilize the scapegoat of colour/race, etc...well they are the ones who have to do just that and LIVE WITH THEMSELVES.
Evil knows no colour, no religion, no ethnic. What's really upsetting is all 'those' who play on the race card when it suits them and make us all look bad and we're immediately judged because of our background. I have listened to people say, 'Jews have all the money.' Well...I come from a family of Jews who never had a lot of money, my father works full time to this very day at the age of 82, 83 in July because he has too, he cannot afford to retire and they will give you the shirt off of their backs, always have and always will so when I am judged because of stereotypes, I just figure, well...I certainly don't need this individual in my world and I get rid of it, I walk away or say you walk away. So in closing, O.J. did the crime, I only hope and pray he suffers the WORST nightmares every moment he's asleep and every waking breath he takes.
(Original Air Date: 10/15/08) The speculation surrounding O.J. Simpson has never stopped since his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman were tragically murdered 13 years ago. Millions watched O.J.'s infamous white Bronco chase on TV. The murder trial, which lasted 10 months, is often called the trial of the century and was the most watched in history. Simpson stirred the controversy again by attempting to publish a book called, If I Did It. While he says it's a work of fiction, the family of Ron Goldman believes If I Did It is his confession, and that he got caught up in the interview process for the book and forgot that he was supposed to be speculating rather than reporting. Now, the Goldmans are the focus of a huge controversy as they take over publishing the tome. Are they justified in taking the profits away from the man they believe to have killed their loved one? And, meet the ghostwriter of If I Did It, Pablo Fenjves, a man who sat across the table from O.J. for over three months as the former football star told him how it would have happened -- if he had been the killer. Join Fenjves as he goes back to the crime scene and reveals compelling details from his conversations with Simpson. Plus, Dr. Phil offers his take on O.J. and this now best-selling book. Was it a confession, or is it truly just a hypothetical account? Tell us what you think!
