If you haven't heard by now, OJ Simpson was sentenced to up to 33 years in prison for robbery and such. ...Makes me think: oh how the racial tide has turned. Back in 1995, black Americans across the country cheered at a black man being acquitted for butchering his white wife. And just over a decade later, a black man becomes president and OJ is put behind bars. Karma (and justice) work in mysterious ways, right?So what do OJ and Obama have in common (aside from the obvious)? Well, they are both litmus tests for racial progress. Once it became okay for white people to put a black man in the white house, it became okay for black people to put OJ in prison. And in terms of harmony and balance, well, they were hanging out with karma and justice, and they all said to each other, "Obama in the white house and OJ on a golf course? That can't be right."
