White racist government officials using Black's tax dollars to 'curse' Blacks!

I think your article is right on point.Why on Earth has the goverment hired a PR firm to fight a case of pedophilia? Their motives are quite clear and sickening to me.

If MJ was such a skilled warrior he wouldn't be in this spot in the first place. Why a city government office would hire a PR firm is beyond me, they are there to prove guilt by providing evidence not winning the PR battle.

But the truth still is that MJ put himself in this position, and while the parents of that child should have their parental rights examined for allowing the behavior, MJ was wrong even if nothing happened. To compound his problems the guy went on TV and still throught that what he had done was ok, public opinion of his actions should at the very least made him rethink his position and his statements.

Jazzdog is right. This is a case of law, not of public relations. Nevertheless, MJ is not on trial for breaking a cultural rule of public relations but for child abuse. Whether he is guilty remains to be seen. POR, while accusing the (tired refrain of) "white demons" (lessee, doesn't Louis Farrakhan call them "white devils"? Then POR parrots his line), of already condemning him, for her part already judges him innocent before the trial, and apparently for racial reasons also.

Therefore, since she does the same thing for the same reason--even if she arrives at the opposite opinion--she is just as "demonic" as they are.

By the way, POR, even though this is a stock phrase of yours, the "Bible" never uses the term "demonic white racism," nor does it speak of "the demonic nature of whites." Can you name one place where it does?

Wrong again? Imagine that.

It's not a case of racism, POR. Wrong again.

Jazzdog's thought is the interesting one: why would a prosecutor's office hire a PR firm for a trial?

Assuming that the people in the prosecutor's office are reasonably intelligent, did someone conclude that, as public as MJ has been for years, and as much good will as he has generated over the decades since the Jackson Five, it would be hard to find for a jury people who do not already have a settled opinon of MJ that would make it hard to prosecute?

Do they remember that Johnnie Cochran was heard saying before jury selection for the OJ trial, "Just give me one black female"? And didn't OJ lose the subsequent civil trial? So there's still a question about his guilt. God bless whichever jury your biases say was right?

This I think played a very big part in the decision of the prosecutor's office to hire a PR firm. I'm not sure that they want anyone guilty going free on their watch.

I believe that Jazzdog disagrees with this; I also think that this is a bad move. Better that a guilty man be set free--like OJ, who has yet to find Nicole's killer even though he has searched every golf course in the county--than an innocent man be condemned. The prosecutor's office should abide by every letter of the law, which, like the Constitution of the US, protects citizens from the power of the state. I fear that to hire a PR firm is to try influence the outcome of the trial by manipulating public opinion, opinion that could very well be represented on the jury. That breaks the intent of the law if not the very wording of it. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's moral. Give Michael his day in court without playing games with his future and his life.

I won't speak as to whether hiring the PR firm was racist or not; but when the state acts to influence public opinion prior to the airing of facts and evidence, We the People (Black and White) are being led down a very dangerous path.

But MJ's attorneys are on it. I see a mistrial and possibly sanctions on the horizon.
