I tried not to write about the o.j. simpson case too much because so much has already been said about it, but there are a lot of questions left worth asking. however, the case is very useful to illustrate other points. the case is a common reference point because everybody knows the ins and outs of it, more than any other case in this generation, so it becomes useful to reference other points. in itself, there aren't that many questions about it that remain unanswered.

Like, in general i think people have very complicated reasons for wanting things, and we often have no idea whether we’re actually motivated by altruism or a desire to hook up or a search for answers or what. i always get annoyed when in books or movies characters want clear things for clear reasons, because my experience of humanness is that i always want messy things for messy reasons.

So, the kind of precious memories about being black for my generation won't exist for my kids' and grandkids' generations unless we preserve them through fiction, through film, through comic books, and every other form of media we can possibly utilize to perpetuate the story of the great african-american people.
