Bailey was thrown off- balance when Fuhrman steadfastly withstood a grueling interrogation. Even when Bailey rumbled into the "nigger" line of questioning, Fuhrman calmly responded that he had not used the epithet in the past 10 years. Nor did Bailey come up with a plausible explanation of how Fuhrman might actually have planted the bloody glove. "Bailey created such expectations, and he did not deliver," says Laurie Levenson, a professor of criminal law at Los Angeles' Loyola Law School. "Maybe he didn't have the right ammunition...
Instead, Bailey handed dynamite to Clark when he claimed last Tuesday that a black former Marine named Maximo Cordoba was ready to testify that Fuhrman had called him a nigger. Clark let loose, claiming that Bailey's proof of this event would "evaporate into thin air." In response, Bailey puffed up his chest and said, "I have spoken to him on the phone, Marine to Marine, and I haven't the slightest doubt that he'll march up to that witness stand and tell the world what Mark Fuhrman said to him."

...Detective Mark Fuhrman today, under repeated questioning about Fuhrman's alleged use of racial epithets and suggestions that Furhrman planted a bloody glove in Simpson's backyard to frame him.

Because his biological father was Samoan, Greg had dark skin that targeted him as a "nigger"; because he was dyslexic and a stutterer, he was often called a "retard." While his mother encouraged him to take dancing classes, his father virtually ignored his "sissy" son. Growing up with all those stigmas would have been pure hell had the nine-year-old boy not discovered diving...
Every now and again someone will call the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish a nigger. The rock band from Columbia, South Carolina, is made up of three white instrumentalists and a black vocalist. Such interracial camaraderie should be inspiring: ebony and ivory, the universal language of music, and all that. The reality is that there have been few truly successful mixed-race rock bands in America, and when some people, particularly in the South, see Hootie entertaining concert audiences with its mix of Southern rock and soulful blues, they have a problem with it.
