With O.J. resurfacing in the news once again, and the public outcry at the Fox Corp. attempt to 'pimp' the tragedy with a new book and TV special as so many others have done, it occurred to me that there might be a silver lining in all of this.
Most of America believes O.J. did the crimes, regardless of the botched investigation, or the lying of a racist cop under oath, or the political ambitions of a D.A. that had to have a conviction at all costs, or the fact that the prosecution never proved 'beyond a reasonable doubt' that he did it. So, America finally has a Black former 'beloved icon' of theirs, that they can publicly and unashamedly hate and vent their most racist feelings toward, and the past few days have been filled with a steady stream of all manner of such racist bile.
It just occurred to me that in my lifetime, I probably will never learn who really did this crime, because I truly believe that even if the killer or killers came forward and confessed, it would be covered up and withheld from the public - perhaps it already has! This is because America's investment in O.J.'s guilt is so huge. And like all investments, no one wants to lose what they have invested - this investment is no exception.
Perhaps O.J. deserves this for committing the ultimate sin in America, being Black and wanting to and having a White woman, who unfortunately turned up dead. He should have known better, now he will have to pay for his sin for the rest of his life.
This Thanksgiving I am truly thankful for the many blessings of Almighty God. I am also thankful that in the next life I will finally learn who is guilty and who is innocent of this crime - that's the silver lining!
