I have faced much racial profiling and had some harrowing encounters with law enforcement. I have been threatened with a gun three to four times by a cop, all while on my way to make an honest living, four situations twice they drew guns and twice they unbuckled their holsters. Only once when I was younger did I make any move that justified this behavior and that was due to ignorance and a misunderstanding. The cop immediately recognized this after reaching for his side arm and relaxed, becoming very cool and professional. The other guys were cowboys and I was one slip from being dead for no reason and then having my good name tarnished by the media to protect some overzealous cops. A year ago I was falsely accused of burglary. The charge was dropped but it really hurt me. Going over these things in my mind back in March I just thought about the black man's struggle for justice and seemingly elusive dream to be accepted by the world for who he is, what he can do, and what he can learn. Us younger guys are being targeted en masse and it is a huge strain growing up with this and all the other pressure and hardships we face from growing up in our communities. There is a big generation gap because of crack cocaine and the hustler/gangsta mentality that came with. This was already here before crack but spread like wildfire once coke became really cheap on the street. School is designed to keep you disinterested and you quickly lose interest because you know drop outs not much older than you making thousands of dollars in the streets. You been arund it all your life and it is just too easy to jump in the game, especially with all the white kids coming through with money asking for drugs. I know Im rambling but I thought about all this and how OJ got railroaded. What he did in Vegas was stupid but probation stupid not 9-33 years stupid. So I just googled oj innocent over and over and iago post would come up. The headings were interesting. When I began reading posts I was amazed. I immediately downloaced the Iago pdf and read itm in marathon fassion. I am asking for the truth and God gave me the internet. There is someone out there that has figured out every problem humans have. There are fewer and fewer mysteries and once we put our minds on a goal we usually do it. I was a gifted student and from 3rd to 10th grade I was always in the absolute most and advanced curriculum Florida's public schools had to offer. I was drilled like a grunt in critical thinking skills. I analyze problems and solve them as long as I am interested. I just knew there was someone out there with no agenda who had the resources to analyze every scrap of evidence in a logical way. I couldn't find it anywhere else and I looked hard. Mark Fuhrman? Thats the movie movies plot twist all day. But get people to look. Being black, Jasper faces an incredible challenge to be heard. His learning disability affects his writing style and Im sure his speaking style. He is clear, methodical, and compelling but isn't able to communicate his message in a poetic and moving way. My education in a predominately white environment gives me an advantage in understanding communication in the white world that Jaspers generation did not have as much. He doesn't believe many will listen and what you believe is what you become. I have learned this the hard way. I have searched google many times for compelling evidence to prove OJ innocdnce with absolute certainty. IAGO's post didn't come up like that before. But you know hen the student is ready the teacher will appear and here we are. I have been an avid reader all my life and you can tell alot about people from their writing. Been reading the archives since March and feel like iI know the posters. I could correctly match their names without knowing the author at a good clip. Jasper's writing is brilliant if you know how to look at it but people have their agenda's. If he was white he would have been taken way more serious from the jump and Iago would have had the marketing support to breakthrough. I just hope he keeps his head up and learns to relax. He has faced some huge obstacles just because of his complexion on top of being human on the treacherous planet Earth. It wears your heart and mind and will break you down if you dont release all the negative energy. I pray for his strength but more his ability to enjoy life. He needs to vividly imagine the look on Fuhrman's face when he is indicted and convicted and smile knowing hks work broke through and it will. But will he be moses or Joshua?
