OJ Simpson is poor and oppressed? I wouldn't have know that if you didn't bring it to my attention.

How is getting away with murder being abused by a white society?

Oh, and for your information, OJ didn't defend a white woman...he killed her. And yes, I think the evidence in that case was overwhelmingly against him and he should have been found guilty and suffered the punishment the courts deemed fit no matter what race he is.

If he wasn't before, he sure as heck is now...

Cochran might have been a hero, or villain, depending on your point of view, but one thing he was not was cheap. OJs "dream team" cost him most of his money.

Who knows how much he has squirrelled away? He is obviously not flipping burgers and so has more money than I do. Which ain't much, but it's more than I had a month ago.

And the paparazzi are still chasing him around. That's oppression in MY book.

I was reviewing this on a blog that I participate in and thought I'd post my entry here as well.

Let us not forget his handling of the Reginald Denny case. He was a one trick pony who could turn any case on the race card.

From the article on the Ebony web site...

Best in the West - attorney Johnnie Cochran

That's exactly why Cochran says he is representing Reginald Denny. The way the U.C.L.A. and Loyola Law School graduate sees it, Denny's case comes down to one thing--racism. "This case is about more than Reginald Denny," says Cochran, whose $40 million civil rights lawsuit on Denny's behalf charges the L.A. police purposely abandoned that the predominantly Black neighborhood of South Central L.A. during the unrest. "This case is about empowerment of people who are perceived to be powerless. There were over 25,000 9-1-1 calls requesting help for Rdginald Denny and all of them went unresponded to. What does that tell you? They would never have done this in an affluent White area."

All those residents of south central that "won" the Denny case will be paying that $40 million. To suggest the money is being taken away from "whitey" is ridiculous.
