Why?

Bc I think he did it. I think most people think he did it. That whole trial was nuts. The only reason the variability is so much high between black people and white people is because of race.

Well doesn't that show the racial divide? Most black people knew that he was innocent

When a white person gets accused, they innocent until proven guilty. But when a black person gets arrested, they are always guilty, even after they been found to be innocent

I think it does show the racial divide, but that depends more on if you think he did it or not. You think he’s innocent. I don’t, and it has nothing to do with his race.

Yes it does historically black people have get harsher sentences, even for crimes they didn’t do, why do you think that the racial divide exist here?

I’m not denying that racial prejudice has existed. Obviously that’s true. What I’m saying is that the evidence was there, it just so happened that the police work was sloppy and it created enough reasonable doubt. That whole idea goes away though if he actually committed the crime. Which he did, imo.

If you had a brain that wasnt the size of a peanut you would know he got CAUSE OF THE RODNEY KING TRIAL WHERE POLICE BEAT A BLACK MAN IN LIVE TV AND SUFFERED NO CONSEQUENCES. Not saying it was right but it was basically “payback” in a messed up way. Also, why are black people always on white peoples mind? Kinda weird right? Get a life.

Crazy take lmao. He as literally found innocent in the murder trial, so if you believe he was innocent, justice was served.

You never took history class? OJ was an important case for Black America

… as impactful as SLAVERY and JIM CROW?

I understand very well why the case was important for black folk and I didn’t learn it from a history class. My comment is more about the continued obsession white America has with demonizing OJ and taking such HUGE issue with the verdict. As if criminals don’t walk free every day. Do they take the same amount of issue when innocent people get life sentences? Ofc not. Also if my comment is the one you’re taking issue with here maybe you’re the one who needs a history lesson

This is an example of the permenant difference that’s existed between black and white people. Black people think a standard from 70 or more years ago is relevant today and should absolve present day black people from punishment for their crimes. White people do not hold this standard. Also, black juries overwhelmingly vote innocent when the defendant is black, and this is not the case for white people. Surveys and data analysis show this.

The entire Rodney king thing was also bullshit since the video did not show that he was high on pcp and drunk, and was resisted arrest while swinging at cops after he had just left them in a high speed chase, and he was out on bond for drugs or domestic violence

Yeah get over that too tf nobody alive was invoked in either of these periods nor passed the legislation during the Jim Crow era, and black people wanted separations because they asked for it during the civil war. I learned about this in middle school in 2007 cuz I actually read the parts of the textbook that weren’t assigned reading

A textbook in 2007… was it perhaps… written by a white man?

Really basing your whole argument off of a middle school text book. Bestie pick up some college literature written by BIPOC people and learn about our horribly whitewashed history

Ya wrong and will always be, but you don’t care about the blackwashing of the country’s history so I’m good. I’ve done hundreds of hours of research as an adult on these topics and know much more than all of the race baiting Bipoc authors you want to mention. You aren’t oppressed today, and in the Jim Crow era you died 50 X as much from Diarrhea, 40 X as much from syphilis, 3-5 X as much from falling down staircases, 3-5 times as much from choking on food ect. than Blk ppl did from 80 yr of YTs

It was written by Ghislaine Maxwell’s father actually. But the point I was making is that in history textbooks it directly described how black representatives asked for separate societies from whites because they would never forgive them for slavery. Even though only 2% of free white people even did it, and 2% of free black people participated in it as well. Anthony Johnson a black man was the 1st slave owner in America as well.
