Remember the O.J. Simpson trial? We all knew he did it. But Johnnie Cochran figured it out. Keep proving and talking about the corrupt police. By the time the case went to the jury, the police were "convicted" and O.J. walked free. Karma.
Remember the Central Park Five? When Trump (who had promoted the death penalty for them) had to face the Judge in the same courtroom where the boys had been wrongfully convicted, one of them whose young life had been stolen, had one word for it: Karma.
Remember the Supreme Court Hearings for Clarence Thomas? Remember Anita Hill's testimony? Thomas cried: "this is a high tech lynching." Hill was promptly ignored. Thomas stopped crying after he triumphed over the rope. And, he's been laughing at us ever since. Are you outraged?
Karma.
Well, I wish karma would work on one of these outrages. Unfortunately I don't see it happening. Maybe it takes several lifetimes. I'm impatient and want to see it during mine.
ReplyDeleteThe many lifetimes of racism leave karma with a lot of time.
DeleteI wish this were a fully satisfying outcome to the families of O.J's wife, the Goldman family whose son was also murdered, or gave back the time lost by the Central Park 5.
ReplyDeleteOur lives are short. Vindication, if it comes at all, is usually late to the game. If Karma would hop on a rocket ship, may it would be more satisfying to the injured parties, if they still live.
