TV Love & Youth :OJ to Infinity by Patricia Britt
It's odd & depressing that the "cottage industry of OJ" with The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story launch in the month of Valentine's & black history month would be contemplated as a ratings enterprise not just this year, but for decades? As if interracial couples don't still have enough to worry about even today, to say nothing of the countless children survivors of domestic abuse who come across shows like this each month flipping through channels.
God bless all the worthy men of earth, and God will deal with the men that perpetuate ever present fear by physical violence, or executive manipulation in their positions of power, and authority circumventing the desire to live, & let live, and let love. Is the Nicole Brown - OJ story a cautionary tale, a warped sense of reality, or another edition in the glorification of murder, and criminals?
It will be refreshing if America's entertainment power brokers ever wake up and decide to give us American Hero Stories modeled on leaders like Vernon Jordan, until then I guess we'll have to keep flipping thru channels hearing how great the acting is on entertainment shows taking up all the air from victims of past traumas by praising the tragic story of a murder trial.

BET, or should I say Viacom chose to show the movie Thin Line Between Love & Hate featuring that dashing Martin Lawrence & Lynn Whitfield.
Nothing like pushing the self destruct button on America by choosing to act like Valentine’s Day is a non-entity, or anti-holiday, and implicitly indicate this is what you get if you look for love in reality, or on the small screen. A single day for the corporate world of television entertainment to celebrate love out of 365 days in a calendar year, and once again they failed to have a heart, although BET’s later evening twist was to present Tyler Perry’s House of Payne with 90’s heart throb “Alan Payne,” there is still a glimmer of hope at the end of the rainbow after all for corporate entertainment.
For all the girls home alone again, here’s the network addresses to write and see if a little love might be possible in the future www.digiulio.com/television-networks.html. You tech savvy girls create #valentinestvlove on Twitter take the baton, and run with it if love matters to you. Women’s lives matter.
At least the Kardashian’s were on E to show the cord of family love their audience gravitates toward in a world with images of violence, even though violence statistics have declined in America hmmm. Thank God there was some love somewhere on Valentine’s Day in the form of compassion for the less fortunate lonely souls in the world with Lamar Odom being welcomed as a human of value, even if he doesn’t win back the love he threw away hurting himself, and being selfish as the invisible man. Tsk, tsk, tsk...maybe he'll win Khloe back if he decides to stay on the straight and narrow avenue of love.
The Kardashian girls will always be victors, and victims due to their father's infamous client, the overcoming love their parents transmitted to them that allowed them to keep moving on regardless of any circumstances encountered to be role models for some, and objects of envy for others. Those girls will never be allowed to forget their link to OJ as innocent children, and they stand together because of it.
Post Script:
Valentine’s Day
CNN chose to
show the Tom Hanks Seventies Series featuring Charles Manson on Valentines Day even
though the network casts itself as the purveyors of the public trust and the
last best line of defense for protecting the democracy. A network without a
love review on Valentines is missing the point of protecting the public in this instance.
Justice Antonin Scalia had nine children. I’m willing to bet he believed in
love, and a lot of it, with some to spare in certain views in his 30 years on the bench.
American Movie
Classics showed the Walking Dead all day on Valentines.
