Is it just me or is it that the rich, powerful, famous black/minority and the upper echleons of society get away with pretty much anything, including murder, rackateering, sleeping with children, child molestation, etc.?

I mean, imagine if OJ Simpson were a regular guy ...he would have been sent to prison ASAP.

Or what about Pee Wee Herman? Had a regular joe done that, pssh, he/she'd have to be registered as a sex offender for life.

It amazes me really, then to see the people flock to these filth ...ugh.

I agree completely, but with kind of a different way of getting there. I think the problem is not like someone's setting up a crazy scheme to promote the minorities. I think what's happened is that this irrational group fear of racism has gotten everyone afraid to legislate toughly on minorities, lest their decisions be based on race, rather than belief.

I'm one to say racism is no longer an issue of the black people being "repressed". I'd say it to be an issue of everyone being afraid of the term and the implications.

But thats just me.

HELLO look at Martha Stwart she didn't murder anyone but she got a nice prison cell. Oh and Micheal Jackson (is he white now) anyway he is going to be serving time maybe I guess according to you black guys get away with things you know he has money, but is he actually white or I don't know anymore


Only you can change you but if you want to change someone else open there eyes.

Pee Wee Herman was white dude and a charcter in a F***ing movie

Oh, please. We all knew that was you. You're obvious. Next time you get all pissy about how you're leaving, you should actually leave. I know we all wish you did.

Barkid, when Oprah rises to power, you'll be one of the first to be thrown in the slammer.

Suuuuuure they don't fatmike.
I don't even have to cite celebrities or politicians, take a look around your own community and you will see how much a wealthy or politically connected white person can get away with.

In your ambiguity I almost assumed you thought Pee Wee Herman was black.

That is because Oprah doesn't have a reputation as a s.lut.

But it did get press.

-----"""No one took a second glance at Britney Spears' whirlwind marriage"""

Lmao. Are you kidding me? That was all over the news for weeks. Maybe Minnesota just doesn't have anything better to report on, idk. However Oprah should still be president. Wether she's elected by the American public or whether she gains control over the country through her ridiculous amount of money; it's going to happen.

I think that it seems that black rich people get away with things more because there are so few of them. Think of the thousands of rich white men who have been convicted of various crimes. Simply, their wrongdoings do not get as much publicism. No one took a second glance at Britney Spears' whirlwind marriage, but if Oprah did something like that, the press would be all over it.

No. If you were black, the police would bring you down ASAP and the media will make a mockery out of you. It's all about the money..not about skin color. Remember sweetheart..'MONEY TALKS'

hmm...I agree with everyone else on this one. The big factor here is money. It's like they say "con dinero baila el perro" which means with money the dog dances...or something like that. Hmmm...what's with me and spanish sayings this days...*slaps self* Anyways...yeah, I don't think it has to do with their race either, just with the money....with lots, LOTS of money.
