bella,
that place sounds like a hot spot. i will check it out. (the gaudy new orleans.)
about o.j., i’m a floridian too, so i’ve run into him as well. it was at a boxing event. ppl were cheering him and more people were booing him but everyone was in awe. he is a large man. very handsome and made my heart beat faster. out of fear? out of anger? excitement? all three. i hope he didn’t do it but that is just me being naive.

1. OJ is not broke. If nothing else, he owns property, which is exempt from creditors in the state of FL (Homestead exception). He may be house poor.

2. IMO, OJ is a narcissistic psychopath. Being so, he does not feel guilt!

I feel very bad for his children.

And it’s true, I don’t know why I care about him but somehow I do…

JustMyword-you are right on two counts, 1-the people that are hanging around him are definitely “hangers on” and 2- he is mostly likely trying to hang on to a life he no longer has. But, OJ is not a poor man– that was my only point in response to Che’s comment (but then some other stuff slipped out, LoL)

Reader-
I disagree. It doesn’t say he’s a power player or well connected. His “entourage” is really an overstatment that would be better described as Suburbanbushbabe pointed out, “Parasites are more like it”. His company of friends is not made up of important people or heavy hitters, they are a bunch of wanna be’s who want so badly to be a part of the in-crowd,they’re willing to start at slug level and have the hopes of working their way up. O.j. is a trying to hold onto a life that isn’t their anymore. Again, I can’t help but wonder why.

My only comment is… OJ isn’t broke at all and never was. Far from it. NFL, hollywood movies, tv commercials, lucrative sports casting deal…OJ was probably the first megastar/mega paid black athlete (these days from Tiger Woods to Dwaye Wade… highly paid players are as common as sliced bread). The man was never a sole proprietorship and the extent of his assets will never be known and certainly will never be made public. But, the fact that he attracts that “certain type of women” and has an entourage says that eventhough he may be on the sidelines, he’s still well connected and is still very much a power player.

Dearest Monique,

I was not “seething” as you put it, but it really sounds like you are. I will pray for you. Let’s move on, shall we?

Oh Not So Beautiful One,

Your rant did not go over my head.
As I stated, Bella was ~sharing~ not promoting.
You chose to ~seethe~ which was not cool.

Well I suppose if you look at hte O.J. Simpson as an isolated issue, it has lttle relevance or purpose when expressing the racial discord in this country. But if you veiw it as part of a conglomeration of several racially motivated instances, it holds more value. Not because it in itself is an answer to a problem, but it does help those willing to combate it because as I already stated, these issues put otherwise cloaked veiws in plain veiw, it shows the thinking that is dominating our evnvironment. If you think that it is irrelevant because O.J. wasn’t worthy of having the system work in his favor, that’s somewhat of a narrow perspective , IMO. Racism is an issue and keeping the facts, strategy and mindset of rasism on the table are vital to working towards ways of eliminating its horrific affects. In the case of O.J., because he probably was guilty, he seems to be justifiable cause for racists to hold onto their veiws, for that I resent him being a centerfocus, but that doesn’t mean I throw the baby out with the bath water, racial undertones were driving the way the prosecutors went about trying to solve the case, if they hadn’t been so blinded by hate for a black man they probably wouldn’t have been so sloppy about prosecuting him , and he wouldn’t have gotten off on a technicality—he’d probably be paying for a crime everyone is sure he committed, so racism was the primary motivation not justice, it’s what caused them to stumble is in thatway still the cause for the ulitmate injustice of the case.

TMZ.com has excerpts of Simpsons “If I Did It” crap book, and the 11 o’clock news read a section. It’s pretty disgusting. Also I don’t think the people around him merit the term “entourage”. Parasites is more like it. Let them suck him dry. I feel for his children. It’s a sin that they have to live with the results of his actions.
