Unless you were inside the Kobe Bryant courtroom Jan. 23, all you know
about the daylong hearing is that Pam Mackey, the hoop star's
Frodo-sized legal thug, played the race card.
Mackey dealt from the bottom of the deck by needlessly, shamelessly
and vindictively suggesting that Kobe's race had something to do with
the alleged crime.
"There is lots of history out there about men, black men, being
falsely accused of this crime by white women," said Mackey,
Bryant’s high-priced co-counsel, as the noontime court break
approached.
That might have been true when Harper Lee dressing like a ham on
Halloween, but I don't see what race has to do with an alleged date
rape inside a swanky mountain resort.
Mackey knew the lazy lapdogs of modern media would lick their balls
with delight over her verbal #@&@
slap. Her well-timed retort came in
response to a rival attorney’s claim that sensational sex cases
create a chilling effect on victims and prevent other women from
reporting rapes.
She used the opening to interject race into an already
over-sensationalized case.
But Mackey is a pro. Landing shots to the groin is nothing new for
her. She’s a grappler from long back. Trained in the deadly
Israeli martial art of Krav Maga. Said to be good with a knife and
willing to gouge, kick and bite on a first date.
Mackey and her cohorts on Team Kobe have already branded the accuser
as a sexed up, suicidal, bipolar party girl. So why not toss in a Klan
membership to boot?
It's not like anyone is going to object.
Here's a thought: Next time at bat, Mackey should call the accuser a
Free Mason. I hear those dirty sons of #@&@
es are always on the prowl
for a good time.
Let's get real for a second. And let's all agree that The People of
the State of Colorado vs. Kobe Bean Bryant is about date rape not
cross burning.
Too bad the gatekeepers of infotainment can’t handle that simple
truth.
Reality is a total buzz kill to them. They don't want the facts to get
in the way of a good headline, or news crawl beneath Gerardo Rivera's
moustache.
Once Mackey turned Ebony and Ivory on its ear last week, the gentlemen
of the press breathed a sigh of relief. The R Word was out. It was
time to party.
Mackey's one inflammatory sentence gave them an easy story. They could
hype the race issue over lunch, finish their stories by early
afternoon, then pound beers in Vail on the company dine.
Since the 24-hour news audience demands fresh blood, the media let
them eat racial tension.
Seconds after Mackey hinted that the spirit of Strom Thurmond had
taken root inside the accuser’s head, a flashy-looking LA type
with Celebrity Justice broke into a smile.
"She just played the race card," the bright boy told me, as we watched
the hearing from the cheap seats inside Judge Terry Ruckriegle's
courtroom. "That's your story."
I rolled my eyes in sadness, but understood that every news service
would salivate over Mackey's tangy treat.
You should know that Mackey said only one sentence about race during a
six-hour hearing. Believe it or not, a lot of real news actually
occurred during that time.
But no few newshounds cared about the court's new security measures,
or why Team Kobe destroyed some of the accuser's medical records they
had wrongfully obtained.
Associated Press didn't say why Kobe's hand span will become an issue
at trial, or why the defense will work its ass off Feb. 2-3 trying to
keep comments Kobe told the cops out of court.
Such newsworthy material came out in great detail last week. But those
stories were not racy enough to generate headlines. Instead, virtually
every news outlet, from AP to Reuters, to the Rocky Mountain News and
the New York Post, went racial.
As always, the media went for the short money on Wilson and gave the
truth a one-way ticket to Palookaville.
Celebrity, fame, hero worship, money and mental instability are all at
play in the Bryant case. Those topics are fair game. Race has no
business here and Little Miss Mackey knows that very well.
Too bad Atticus Finch can't walk off the pages of "To Kill a Mocking
Bird." Had that southern gentleman been in the house last Friday, he
might have shot Mackey down like a rabid dog.

It is as likely that Kobe Bryant targeted a young Jewish woman because of
her background, as any assertion that Jewish women are likely to falsely
accuse black men of rape.
Kobe claims to be Christian, and many Christians have targeted Jews because
of the 'Christ crime'. In more modern times, the Black community has
targeted Jews as exploiters of their neighborhoods and labor pool.
There is no doubt that professional basketball is woefully underrepresented
in those of the Jewish faith- a clear discrimination, and possibly
indicative of an institutional anti-Semitism that is simply reflected in
this unfortunate incident of Jew-bashing.
Does anyone know about a prior exhibition of anti-Semitism by Mr. Bryant, or
would this be his first?

Do they mean becasue he was arrested by an admittedly racist sheriff
using extraordinary procedures with almost no evidence?
Why would anyone think race had anything to do with it?

Now there's a subjective rant that is 99% opinion - I expect
more facts from The Globe.

She "dealt that card" only in response to the prosecution's witness
(a women's advocate) dealing the "raped women card" from the bottom
of the same deck.

Well, that was in response to the 'rich black athlete get out of jail free'
card.
Which was preceded by the 'provide whores for the athletes who play college
ball' card- which is the one they're trying to explain all the rape cases in
Boulder at CU with.

Back to the "two wrongs make a right" logical construction, eh Michael?
BTW, care to elaborate on that "only in response" assertion?

That's about as stupid as anything you've ever said. If someone
attacks me with an illegal weapon, and I have access to another
illegal weapon with which to defend myself, of course I'm going
to use it. You expect me to quietly sit there and allow myself to
be ravaged by the prosecution's gender card, because it would
violate your silly nursery-rhyme morality to CANCEL IT with
the race card? Thank you, though, for admitting that it was wrong
for the prosecution to pull in the gender card.

I "admitted" nothing. I only referred to *your* logical construction.
If you can't tell the difference between that and vouching for your
premises, you might want to think twice about calling anyone else stupid.
Still, thank *you* for your implicit concession that it was wrong for
Mackey to play the race card, and that she did it not because she
believed it, but only as a cynical ploy in which she exploited a racial
stereotype in order to smear the woman her client is alleged to have raped.
