The Cottage Industry of OJ
by Patricia Britt
America is traumatized PTSD nation. Don't NO traumatized natural blonde who was 20 - 35 years old in 1995 when Nicole Brown-Simpson lost her life to the present day at 43 - 58, wants to see the priviledge of Orenthal Jones every day, every week, every month, every year on television, particularly not on a comedic show, late at night, before bed time, 1st thing in the morning, or in a hologram forever. Theft is not funny. And the sad reality is Orenthal could end up with a talk show, Sirius radio station, or as the face of the Second Chance Act, or the First Step Act as an authority on hate, within 5 years because of the fascination with what's wrong over what's right if entertainment news annoints him.
You mean to tell me there's not a single teacher, principle, union leader, law enforcement employee/retiree on Twitter, business person, or clerk, who is not so ridiculously ironic they don't merit 2-5 minutes of air space to inspire America to think and draw together vs to be shocked, repulsed, reminded, and reinforced that some black men ARE BAD and unloveable?
The Brennan Center for Justice should take a bite out of the malicious "Cottage Industry of OJ," that paints every black man as a potential demonized brown menace to block interacial, brotherly love, and self acceptance, the pursuit of happiness.
Did Coretta Scott King love Martin Luther King, Jr.? Did Peggy Lipton once love Quincy Jones. It has been 24 years since the Nicole Brown - Simpson tragedy. She called investigative authorities numerous times, that did nothing, more than likely, because of her shade choice in a marriage partner, chich could be the sad reality of the most recent past.
In addition a study should be commissioned by the Thurgood Marshall Foundation, the National Urban League, SPLC,org, ACLU.org funded by the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHA, PGA, ABA, WGE, WGW Congressional Black Caucus, and the Association of Universitys, and the Retail Association if African - American males have suffered the stigma of violence cast on their lives who were 15 - 30 in 1995 and who are now 39 - 44 years old if they were incarcerated at a higher percentage for minor violations, suffered psychological impediments, were blocked from upward job mobility, and the pursuit of happiness, or are deceased.
I suppose the world must be weary with the results of the extension of hate cemented in each generation of chldrens minds that is now manifest in willful defiance and the neglect of the public school system in classroom broken windows, warmth, books, hero ommission in history, supplies for science experiments, PC's, and what have you wheather it be the lack of knowledge and focus in the broadcast, or print media to vote for school milleages for all kids?
Children ask their parents everyday, why do they hate us? What do people see when they look at me, particularly male children? Certainly the groups listed have profited off the justice system low expectation children are exposed to. Shouldn't a network of these groups step forward to cure the cycle of sorrow?
Robert F. Smith, and Stephen Curry have stepped up. Whose Got Next?
Will Orenthal "the Juice" become the face of the First Step Act, and Second Chance policy active or not justice initiatives evolve over time?
Will more athletes gain lucrative contracts like Antonio Brown, and Ben Roethlisberger with rape allegations casting a shadow on family men like Stephen Curry, Tony Dorsett, Tom Brady, and so many others.
Any form of entertainment needs to include elements for Americans to think again with a dash of mucho amore, not hate for entertainment. Lets werk on a renewed America striving for a safer climate with some social concern for sensitivities of decades of victims damaged by perception to get healthy, and whole.
It's time to werk on children, not neglect.
