Now either we have the world's most criminal society, or we have one of the world's most corrupt legal systems, because NO OTHER COUNTRY has such a high proportion of its population incarcerated. Even in Rwanda, after the genocide, there wasn't a full 1% of the population in incarcerated, and at least 10% were genocidaires!

I don't see how any of this justifies the idea that a black man has never been tried fairly under the law until the highly publicized OJ Simpson trial. It is no new news to me that you have a severely selective view of history but to deny the progress the black community has made within the American courts is remarkable. Your radical interpretation of the significance of the OJ Simpson murder trial is just as much an element of the media driven discourse as those who wanted his head on a pike.
