OJ is a PRIME example of a black man forsaking his culture to ascend into white society until it served his interests to remember he was really black (like when he needed a jury to acquit him) So sorry, but that is the truth.
He was all about the White high society, white neighborhood, white status symbols, pretty white wife..........until he knew all his white neighbors would convict him of murdering Nicole, then it was oops! we need a black jury....

So, any black person who wants to live in a rich subdivision and marry a white woman is an Uncle Tom - that is ridiculous. Moreover, it defines only real black people as those who marry within the race and live in a poorer area. Do you not see the racism there?

Moreover, you personally knew all of OJ's friends to say they were all white?

no that isnt what I am saying, Im saying OJ was status-seeking, class-hopping and marrying Nicole was the fastest way to do it. by the way, isnt it a fact that ghettos are mostly populated with minorities? And just what is the demographic of Beverly Hills by and large? I dont think it is racist to acknowledge the fact of demographics and poverty. There is a real correlation between incomes and ethnicity as Im sure you know. Dont try and make this into something it isnt either.

as for OJ's friends, no I didnt know all of them. I know he stayed friends with Al, who was black, and Im sure he had other black friends. but I maintain that OJ was making a definite choice to cross cultural lines in order to rise up the ladder of society.

Again, so any black person who wants to live in Brentwood is a sell out - I am rather taken aback because that implies or supposes that the desire to move to Brentwood is a horrible thing to do. Certainly other black people live there.

Also, I think he married her because she was a hot piece of a$$ - - I mean I have read nothing to suggest she was socially prominent before she married him.

she was a successful model, and a jet setter.......and yes there are black people in Brentwood. but they are a fraction of the total population. contrast that with inner-city projects and tell me what the neighborhood looks like. Its undeniable.

Exactly - so all balck people should stay there and any black person who marries outside of the race and wants to live in a predominantly white neighborhood is an Uncle Tom. Do you hear what that sounds like?

did I say that? no. I wasnt talking about EVERY black person who marries a white girl, etc etc, I was talking about OJ. Stop putting words in my mouth!
