I was watching the 30th Anniversary documentary on OJ’s criminal trial the other day, and it reminded me how large segments of the black population misunderstand the justice system. They interpret it as a team sport. Not a highly structured rules based process that attempts to adduce facts and facilitate decisions based on the application of the law to the facts, but an “us versus them” process, much like rooting for athletic teams. Sad to see it, but it’s there, everyday.
In this instance, it is impulse control and awareness of the context in which you are operating. Which are totally lacking.

Facts/application of the law. Education is designed to fix it.
The problem: 95% of EDUCATED blacks(4 year degrees) though t OJ was set up.
