Ok well i was not going to put it but they showed a recent list of celebs that got away with stuff and all the people who are so happy they got off and I never thought i would see mothers bringing their children to a trial of a pedofile cheering him on.
I mean come on OJ the Black population would have rioted if he were convicted
Micheal jackson ( granted he is not black anymore) but he had a lot of support from the community
I am not a racist But it seems like some times black celebs can do no wrong.
Dont get me wrong there are alot of white people that get away with stuff but the black community sometimes makes race the issue not Did the 45 year old video himself having sex with a 12 year old.
