CRAPAPEDIA promotes racism

If you're African-American and convicted of a crime, CRAPAPEDIA puts it upfront in the first sentence.  Take O.J. Simpson:

Orenthal James "O. J." Simpson (born July 9, 1947), nicknamed The Juice, is a former National Football League (NFL) running back, broadcaster, actor, advertising spokesman, and convicted armed robber and kidnapper. Once a popular figure with the U.S. public, he is most well known today for his trial and acquittal for the murders of his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.


O.J. is African-American.

Phil Spector?

A White Jew.

Here's how they open Phil's CRAPAPEDIA entry:


Phillip Harvey Spector (born Harvey Phillip Spector, December 26, 1939)[nb 1] is an American record producer, musician, and songwriter who developed the Wall of Sound, a music production formula he described as a "Wagnerian" approach to rock and roll. Spector is considered the first auteur among musical artists for acting not only as a producer, but also the creative director, writing or choosing the material, and masterminding all phases of the recording process. Additionally, Spector helped engender the idea of the studio as its own distinct instrument.[3] For these contributions, he is acknowledged as one of the most influential figures in pop music history.[4] Later in his life, Spector became notorious for his solitary lifestyle and eccentric personality, which was brought to wider notice during the media coverage surrounding his trials and conviction for murder in the 2000s.[5]


Five sentences into their opening paragraph on convicted murderer Phil Spector, CRAPAPEDIA notes that "his solitary lifestyle and eccentric personality . . . was brought to wider notice" as a result of his murdering a woman


A woman named Lana Clarkson, by the way, whose name is event mentioned until sentence six of the second paragraph -- 11 sentences into the opening of Phil Spector's entry.


If you're African-American, a conviction is in your opening CRAPAPEDIA sentence, if you're White, it's worked in much later.
