The verdict in the Simpson trial was no suprise to me. I knew that juries could return a verdict I didn’t agree with. What surprised me and changed my view of black culture forever was the celebration by blacks all over America when O.J. was acquited. I think polls at the time showed that while whites mostly believed O.J. should have been found guilty, almost all blacks were glad he was acquited.
I saw that race is far more important to blacks in America than I had thought. Race is more important to blacks than it is to whites. I realized this black attitude is far more of an obstacle to a color blind America than is the remaining racist attitudes by white America. Whites can’t solve racism in America unless and until blacks change their racial attitudes.
Unfortunately, black leaders and white liberals all profit from “America is a racist society.” They’ve gotten rich and powerful from pushing that button. They are not going to lift a finger to end racism. So racism will not be ended in America. Period.
