USA: Racial Divide over Michael Jackson Trial results

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[I find it interesting, and yet not surprising, that Blacks and Whites in the USA just don’t see eye to eye on the issue of justice, when it comes to famous African Americans who are put on trial.

Remember OJ? The man was as guilty as sin, yet African Americans were completely happy with the results of the criminal trial (though he got nailed second time around in the civil court case). It raises the question about just how objective they really are, when its one of their own who is on trial.

Well, it is fascinating to see how the two groups differ. Even Americans must surely admit that the races just don’t see eye to eye on many issues. One sees it time and again, and yet most Americans want to deliberately pretend it does not happen… but it does… and it always will… until people finally admit the truth, which is that the different races just don’t have the same perspective on many matters. People are different – get used to it, accept it, and live with it. You just can’t force the races into politically correct little boxes – because to do so is to go against nature. Its the same with men and women. They are very different – and that’s all there is to it. Jan]

NEW YORK An overnight Gallup Poll released today shows that 48% of Americans disagree with the verdicts clearing pop star Michael Jackson of all charges in the molesting case and only 34% agree — and they are split along a “major racial divide,” Gallup said.

Whites disagree with the verdict by about 2-1 (54% to 28%) while nonwhites take the opposite view by 2-1 (56% to 26%).

This recalls the O.J. Simpson verdict in 1995, when whites disagreed with him getting off by 62% to 27% while nonwhites supported it by 67% to 24%.

A clear majority, or 62%, believe that Jackson’s celebrity status was a major factor in the verdict.

Nearly half said they were “surprised” by the verdict, with 24% saying they were “outraged.”

Exactly one in four said they were “still a fan” of the singer. Almost as many said they were once fans, but no longer.
