"He wasn't a social justice leader, but he represented something for the black community... because there were two white people who had been killed."

Did race play a part in the jury’s decision

One juror said as much, (quote) "The not-guilty verdict was payback for Rotney King."

There can be no doubt that “SOME” blacks “feel connected” to OJ because he killed a white person.

But, in my opinion, the % of blacks that “feel connected” to OJ because he killed a white person is farrrrrr less than all.

I could think of a dozen ways that the media and The Left MADE OJ. So, should we put them on trial? But, what’s the use? I’ve got better things to do.

I don’t think this is quite the case, but based on experience, in a situation of white versus black, blacks side with blacks almost every time. It’s an “us-against-them” kind of thing. Not as sinister, but still wrongheaded.

The prosecution’s case was doomed the second Mark Furhman showed up at OJ’s house to collect evidence.

Another example of when the police screwed up!

The ethnic groups brought it on themselves. White people were acknowledging big harm from the old days but then groups starting rubbing it in and saying there is no cure for systemic white racism so no one can make apologies or try to remedy anything. That is true racism against the white people.

The lawyer (not connected with the trial) on Court TV yesterday said he was in grade school and they announced OJ was found not guilty.

He said “Everyone on the teaching staff split strongly into two different groups. the black teachers all were smiling, laughing and giving high fives to celebrate. All the white teachers were doubting the verdict was right and looking unhappy.”

I know that was true at my university library at work that day.

By the way when Kaylee Gains had her head cracked open on the concrete in the beating recently I had strong thoughts about the way I have never come back from the OJ verdict injustice. Civil damages and so on meant nothing to me.
I wanted revenge but held myself back all this time due to religious self-discipline.

OJ looking happy next to a swimming pool on a podcast to admirers recently and the report that he was surrounded by children and grandchildren as he died did not help.

The blacks I knew cheered the verdict even though they knew that OJ was a cold blooded murderer.

He went free because of jury nullification. That’s a poison to our entire legal system.

The funny thing is O.J. never really cared about his own race and probably identified as White. Most of his friends and wife were white. He had made it in the white world and never looked back.
