I was visiting a large AT&T call center and was in the cafeteria when the original OJ trial verdict came out. Most of the black folks were applauding, hooting, hollering, and carrying on, quite happy with the result.
We white folks didn’t say much, looked on quietly and grimly.
In the north, people just deflated upon hearing that the serial killer was let off. I remember watching gmit with the family and just being stunned. It was a very surreal moment.
Pretty much happened across America.
