Comment: HELL NAW!! Let Kato Kaelin and his other white friends that he adores so much spring his dumb azz from jail. This 'brother' kicked Black Folks to the curb many moons ago and deserves no support from our national community. Let Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, Anthony Perkins, Amy Holmes, Walter Williams & Alan Keyes go in their pockets to bail this dumb azz out of prison. He's a sell out to Black America and should look to other sell-outs for support. If a dog bites me the first time, its his fault........

Comment: I wouldn't be protesting for his release, but I agree with the activist in this article. It seems wholly unfair for Simpson to be held without bail when his accomplice was released on bail and the kicker, the ACCUSER IS ON SIMPSON'S SIDE! Hmmm... I'd venture to say there is more there than just OJ robbing somebody. This accuser sounds guilty as hell, (when was the last time a "victim" defended the "criminal?" lol) All that to say, I don't think there's any justification for Simpson to be held without bail. That judge sounds like he (or she) is using more than the facts to make judgement. I'm not an OJ fan either and this story won't make me lose any sleep, but fair is fair...

Comment: You know it's a SLOWWWWWWWW news day when EUR leads with TWO OJ stories. And don't you have to be either entertaining and urban to make these reports? Oh never mind...cuz OJ, Robin Givens, JLo and Supahead stay in heavy rotation on this site, and it's been a lonnnng minute since any of these folks been considered entertaining. NEXT!

Comment: ChocolateBrownGal, I agree with you. I thought it was strange to have two of basically the same stories as headliners. The two articles could have easily been rolled up into one...and it's arguable that they shouldn't be further down in the article list, considering the relevance of OJ to a so-called entertainment site, lol. Oh well...

Comment: GIVE IT A BREAK - O.J. needs to keep his simple a$$ in jail. If in fact those items actually belong to him, then why would you wait to they are to go on sale in a hotel room and you take 2 armed thugs with you. Knowing how the public still has him under close scrutiny, why not go through the proper chanels to retrieve whatever it is he claims is his. He got off from the murder and then turns around and gets arrested for %*$ault for abusing another woman and now this. If anything - he's a danger to himself on the street!

Comment: I think blacks supporting him stopped after the trial you rarely see blacks going up to O.j skinning and grinning in his face asking for autographs the majority are white. and all the young hotties you see him with are white also. so i don't think it's us doing all the supporting i mean the same venom directed at O.J. because some folks think he got away with murder i don't see directed at Robert Blake. murder is supposed to be murder no matter who is accused of it. and look at most pictures and video of Oj it's not blacks who surround him golfing with him and club hopping with him

Comment: I'm with soulmusic too, on the one. That's the problem with our so called Black Leaders, they want to worry about OJ getting bail instead of real problems like Jena 6, Health Care, Poverty, Katrna victims having their land stolen, and many more issues affecting the black community. Free OJ, GTFOH!

Comment: OJ has distance himself from the black community all these years, so its funny how a black "community activist" is now rushing to rally on behalf of OJ. Whatever. I say let OJ's little blond girlfriends hold a rally in support of him. And by the way, what are the qualifications to become a "community activist"? Does this guy Najee have a real job?

Comment: Robert Blake committed a pre-meditated, cold murder, but you don't see him in the news all the time. He had sense enough to sit his azz down. OJ didn't. The whole thing was a set up and some of the mess is on tape.
He finally went too far. They are going to try him for those murders again under the guise of this robbery bs and give him the time they think he should have gotten in the first place.
In the meantime, Robert Blake will live out the rest of his days in comfort and obscuirity in LA.

Mofos are not going to rest until OJ is behind bars and his dumb azz fell for it hook, line and sinker. This whole ordeal screams "set up". Too bad for OJ. He done tore his drawers with black folks and yt is ready to reel him in.

Comment: I just heard Ali, on a radio show in LA. Talking about the O.J.case. He is a lot smarter and media savvy than I realized, Ali indicated he could care less about O.J.
His goal is to highlight the unequal treatment that Black people and our children receive in the criminal justice system, he spoke about the Jena 6, and the rally he is organizing with other activists in LA on Thurday on their behalf.
I didnt know why Ali was involved in this O.J. nonsense but once you hear him lay out his points how one of the alleged victims has stated that he is on O.J's.side,that Alexander who had a weapon was released with no bail! that no matter how dispied and stupid O.J is based on the facts of the case he at least deserves bail,
The juducial racism that blacks face happens to us all, Ali did an excellent job by using that platform to talk about the Jena 6,& O.J being held no bail, if white folks continue to do this none of us our safe! keep exposing these white folks Ali and their hypocritical and racist legal system !See you on Thursday at your rally for the Jena 6 in LA.

Comment: OJ is not the person to use as an example target of a racist justice system. Back in the day, when the NAACP chose a cause to fight, they only worked with victims who were squeaky clean. Not someone like OJ, not even someone like Mychal Bell (even though I support this kid, he had a history of giving beat downs). Rosa Parks was not the 1st black woman to go to jail, but she had the best reputation out there to withstand all the BS they threw at her. So, Najee, I hear you, but you need to find another face instead of OJ...

Comment: Nosellout - I agree, but OJ does have a history of running from police which I doubt is an issue with the other co-conspirators. Plus, the guy that recanted his story should've thought about that before 1) calling the police, 2) telling the police that OJ called him to apologize AND 3) the tape being released that seems to back up his original claim. Although it's must harder to prosecute when witnesses recant, it's the STATE that files charges and they don't have to drop them because a witness doesn't want to move forward.

Princess Diana looks so sad nowadays. (I'm sure it'll get better). I heard Will Smith was getting into movies (that won't last). I'm still heartbroken over Halle Berry marrying David Justice. Oh well...I guess I should just forget about that...She's his now!!!!....FOREVER!!! Babes like that find ONE MAN AND STAY WITH HIM FOREVER!!! I'VE LOST MY CHANCE!! The music industry is just booming!! It'll never die!! It can only go up from here!!!

Comment: Nosellout…. I see your point, but OJ is a known flight risk (remember the white Bronco?) while Alexander is not a known flight risk. It’s that simple. OJ has enough money that he could just flee to a country that has no extradition treaty with us, and stay there for life. Anyway, I consider OJ to be a sellout who just used black people to get support while he was facing a murder charge, then went back to disassociating himself from us once he got off. I still believe he murdered those 2 people, so whatever happens to him from this point, he gets no sympathy from me. If gets convicted, and dies in jail I wont be shedding any tears for him.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the 'dumbing down' of this site over the last few months. I was hoping it was just a reflection of the summer and its typically slow news cycle, but summer break is open. Our kids are back in school learning and we would like to as well.

I remember once I asked why a certain news story was not on here and someone snapped at me that "this is an entertainment site, go find news elsewhere" lol. So I'm wondering why was it more than that DeeofVA or anyone? I only started frequenting it during the Imus ordeal so I might be out of the loop. Just wondering...

Comment: Angel, I'm in L.A.and just saw Ali's
press conference on the news.Ali came to the press conference wearing A free the Jena 6 shirt!
He indicated he is NOT supporting O.J and never did. (which if people read the statement) on EUR they would see that ? )
Ali,spoke about the civil rights that Blacks dont get in the justice system
and essentially used the O.J.case to get some airtime to promote the Jena 6 and even talked about how the 6 white hillbillys in west virgina were allowed to have a bail after raping and torturing a black woman last month, before the news caster cut him off.
I dont always agree with Ali, but if people see the newsclip of him speaking
and the Jena 6 shirt he wore I think this brother played the media and used them to highlight the racism that blacks face nationally. O.J.may not have been the best case but Ali took what he had to work with,

Comment: Essentially no matter how any feels about OJ, you do not have the right to go around the legal system that was set up. Heck they offered bail to the 6 white folks that kidnapped a woman made the woman eat fecal matter, forced her in to various sex acts etc. and they gave them low bail. So why would OJ not get bail for a robbery that even the alleged victim is unwilling to press charges? It is not about OJ at all, simply the fact that because everyone has had a hard on for OJ all these years they feel it's okay to change the system. I don't like OJ one way or the other, however the system should be the system, which is actually the same point of Jena 6. BTW again, is there a reason why activist are not allowed to comment or get involved in several things at once? Each time an activist gets involved in something, we can't decide if one, we even need black leaders and two we want to decide where they ought to be.

Comment: On this situation I feel that OJ been actin the fool ever since he was found acquitted in '95. He has made some bad very public moves over the last 12 years whereas most folks that found themsleves in that pickle in 94-95, after being cleared would have played it cool over these last 12 years just because it's common sense. He had Johnnie Cochran to help get him out of the first mess but now Brother Johnnie is gone (bless his soul). So I feel like this time OJ is basically on his own. He really should have known better than to go up in there rollin like that. He still deserves a fair trial though but his behavior over the last 12 years alone has been a mess.

Comment: Shulamite I totally agree! OJ should not be the poster child for injustice simply because he beat the system once in a very big way and didn't have sense God gave the buzzard to sit his stank as.s down and be quiet. He kept waving his shytty hand in their faces and now it's cuffed to a bench. I understand now (thanks Nosellout) why najee is protesting but his jump off point could have been just about anything but oj!

Comment: I don't give a damn about O.J. Last time I looked, O.J. was not looking back at me in my mirror, but millions of Blacks have paid for him in increased racism, mistrust, lost jobs (I had friends who lost jobs over this shyt), etc. Every racist can safely come out of the closet and rant against O.J. Every White woman who has ever had her azz kicked by a man screams about O.J. Every White man who hates to see a Black man with a White woman is foaming at the mouth. But I will say one thing- I care about the Jena 6 and that's a cause worth fighting for. I care about the tortured woman 'cause that is a cause worth fighting for. I don't give a damn about yet another Black celebrity who turns Black at the last minute, runs to the church, etc who runs into trouble of their own making (O.J., the Washington guy who called the co-star "faggot"). Najee Ali is simply hooking into the O.J. shyt so he can get some publicity. I have seen it all before. I don't need him or Jesse Jackson to speak for me, but doing nothing. Now, will the NAACP be next? O.J. will do his time in prison and hey- I wasn't in Las Vegas, okay? There are too many real-life tragedies to worry about in our community to be bothered with chickenshyt like O.J. I say, "Find your lil' peroxided, lip injected, surgically fixed breasts to help your azz out, okay, O.J.?

Comment: Peekiebear, do your really believe OJ did all that or was it simply an excuse white poeple chose to use at the time? How could someone lose their job over OJ, were they dancing and saying we won or something? Everyone keeps saying they are concerned about Jena 6 but again, it is not like thye are railroading kids for something they did not do, simply the inequity in the punishment. Again, justice should be justice not simply justice if you like the person or they are honorable in nature. If you set any precendent, regardless the next person will get it harder. That is why ALL injustice is bad.

Comment: >SweetieDarlin' I am well aware that OJ is still black, but I meant exactly what I posted. I choose not to fight for the rights of an individual based solely on his race, when he clearly does not want to be a part of said race. Why should he benefit from the efforts of blacks whom he will snub the minute he is able to? While I totally agree with the CONCEPT of what Najee is trying to do, I would not waste my energy on this fool. EFF OJ. His silly azz gets what he gets.

Comment: Closet_Nerd> I know you know he's black, and certainly without me also telling you, you have the right not to agree, simply I feel that whether I like him or not, justice is still justice. It is not really about OJ. And BTW if OJ was white and there was an injustice I would still be concerned, if we allow even one incident, it gets worse and worse for us all.

Comment: Nosellout - I never questioned Najee's motives and I agree that he should get bail. Unfortunately, OJ's white bronco ride puts him in a different category than everyone else you memtioned. He is considered a flight risk, especially since he has no ties to Vegas that I'm aware of, which gives the judge a legitimate excuse to hold him without bail. He will get bail once his lawyers do their job.

Comment: Cosign Angel: According to CNN, he will have a bail hearing tomorrow or Weds, so there's no need for a "march" on Las Vegas. There are also conflicting reports re the victims; according to LV police both victims are cooperating with them and want OJ prosecuted. And, what exactly is Najee Ali's actual job anyway? Simpson doesn't need a protest posse - he needs prayer and a 5-7 yr. govt sponsored "time out."
