but i believe political and social climate matters as well. one DA was hesitant to go at Cos when he we still an iconic black father figure. after niggas cut him loose for talking shit, he became vulnerable and 10 years later another DA picks up the same evidence and gets a conviction because no one gave a fuck...no DA was scared about blowback...no jury gave a fuck...no risk of riots. nothing. i mean, a JOKE laid the groundwork for that. hannibal basically jumped in and said the water's fine and it was game over.

that was not the case with MJ in 1993 or 2005. seems like it still isn't. the only reason this shit even got made is because of the changing social climate. niggas would have been protesting outside HBO offices in the 90s. NOW??? all black "leaders" know better than to say a damned word. not one word protecting mike.
