1. Good stuff.......
They started talking about OJ trial... and Obama said that he was one who was convinced of OJ's guilt.

6. Oh...I felt ill when that happened. I will never forget I was at
school that day. I was in the cafeteria as the verdict was announced. I was so upset that I had to leave. I watched every single day of that trial on court tv and I absolutely could not believe he could get away with that murder after all of the evidence that was presented. It still boggles my mind. OJ has Johnny Cochran to thank for that...

5. Anyone who watched the trial.
Lying cops, planted evidence - a disgrace. And once again, the media lied and distorted the facts.

9. OJ being guilty and the cops planting evidence aren't mutually exclusive
personally, I think both are true.

8. I hear that a staffer from the Obama campaign had a secret
meeting with Obama’s Grandmother to assure her that she can ignore Obama’s quotes about her because they are just campaign reteric, and he does not really mean it. Maybe it will be asked whether it is true...hehe

12. He really is in a unique position
with a unique perspective to move us all along in the right direction.

His love for his grandmother is so sweet. When Obama and I grew up, there weren't many inter-racial relationships. Even though he doesn't speak of it, I'm sure he had a lot to overcome.

18. I loved my racist grandmother too. But what has that got to do with Wright?
What does that have to do with Obama not telling the truth to the nation when this stuff first came out? Are you the same folks who scoffed at Hillary for sticking by Bill after Monica over a very personal matter and now you praise and adore Obama for sticking by his grandmother? What twisted minds are out there? Obama can say that he benefits from being black but others are criticised when they agree and say virtually the same thing. I just don't get it.

19. First.
Are you implying that Obama's grandmother is a racist? Before I go any further down your rabbit hole, I'd like the answer to that.

15. Oh boy....
between what you 'heard' and my ignore button, the distance is thankfully very short. Welcome is number 3 on it. I'm sick of your racist hate.

and black America hears it as a jazz composition with blues notes."
