Sad Bell ruling rings of injustice

My most fascinating romantic relationship was with a woman who had a driving need to be dominated. Psychologically, it related somehow to her father. For me, it was the most intense acting I've ever done. I played the role to the hilt. And, I enjoyed it.

From the moment we added 'the role play.' I realized that I could never be wrong--and she could never be right. It was awkward, only at first. Then I adopted and adapted it to our every interaction. She was in heaven. I eventually succumbed to my natural yearning for a partner rather than a slave.

Interestingly, the reason for this public confession is to make a point about race relations in America. Under no circumstances can Blacks or African-Americans win at the game of United States society. The game is permanently rigged. It is fixed.

Are you listening, Mr. Obama?

Paraphrasing my previous example, Blacks can never be right. We might win small victories, but justice, fairness and a level-playing field will always elude us here–good intentions, aside.

One need only look at the recent ruling in the Sean Bell case to prove my point. An innocent man celebrating his bachelor party is gunned down in the street by New York City Police with more than 50 shots. The cops were never threatened, regardless of their mistaken misgivings.

Yet, not one of the involved officers was convicted of anything.

Why? The case was lost in the venue. It was to be decided by one judge, no jury. Fair trial? Come on!

All spin aside, what judge, with any career aspirations, would or could convict and sentence cops?

And, to this day, White folks don't understand the OJ Simpson celebrations.
