Today is a very important day to think about ways to act on the cases of the Jena 6 and of Megan Williams. On the OJ debacle, my favorite blog comment is by Ravensravings, at the Field Negro:

“Suggestion: Respond to white people’s O.J. hard-on should by reciting what whites say to our complaints about continued effects of slavery, rampant discrimination, police abuse and to wrongly convicted black folks–who might have served 20 years in prison before being released:

“‘Hey, don’t be bitter and angry. Forgive. Move on. Let it go. That was the past. This is the present. You have to learn to love.’

“We might say this to the Goldmans – who, at first, was disgusted by O.J.’s book (a monster, to have written it) but now are OK pimping their son and Nicole for a profit – this.”

Axé.
