Right is right and wrong is wrong, regardless of who you are and how much money you have.
I personally believe that he did it.
He killed his children's mother. He was abusive to her.
It's not a black and white issue.
It's a matter of right and wrong.

You know what I find Funny about O.J.?
In O.J. Simpson's early career He was the Poster Black Boy For a White America. Not only was he a great football player with an interesting background, he was intelligent, and for a black male on t.v. could speak and relate to a majority white audience. He was the first Black spokesman for an all white company in Hertz rent a car, and when he married a white woman, not only was he forgiven by those who shunned upon interracial marriages but was accepted in by doing that also. Still As I said in my first sentence He was the Poster Black Boy for White America.
Now fast forward and the trial of the century, Did he? Didn't he. Whether you agree with the verdict or not, O.J. Is a free and innocent man in the eyes of the court. Maybe the justice system let the family of Nicole and Ron down but facts are facts. It's even more funnier some years later the same people who both black and white, who cheered him on when the verdict was being read, are the main ones who condemn him and bad talk him now. Those who tie O.J. to the Black Community are the ones who are still hung up on the teachings that are just plain ludacris that all crimes, rape and murder only happen within the black community. Do I believe O.J. did it.? I won't say yes or no, evidence support both he did and didn't do it. Will I judge him? Being a black male I'm proned to judgment all the time, In how I speak, how I write, how I carry myself, how I make a living, so for me to judge another person is beneath me. I will say this whether you're white, black, indian, chinese , whatever your ethnic background is., know that Vengeance is the Lords and when you're standing before Him on the day of Judgement , was your life lived according to His word?.

I believe that he did it, ask me if I care that he got off...NO, not in the least bit. Too often our black men are imprisoned wrongly suffering inhumane injustices for centuries, yes his acquittal was a victory for black people. However, I also hope he never makes another dime, for being a sell-out in the first place. In addition, If you don't understand why blacks are tied to blacks...you couldn't be black and live in the real world. As for any black face being charged and or convicted of a felony, saggin pants, males with piercings and braids and women leaving nothing to the imagination, that affects us all, in our neighborhoods, our work places etc...Wake up, we have never been a part of the big scheme of things, just the stepping stones to get someone else ahead. Again, glad he killed her, hope he never makes another cent because of what she was...trading a strong black woman for a gold digging white woman.

I don't believe that anyone is supporting O.J. Simpson on the despicable way he is making a profit over the death of his ex wife and her lover.
I do wonder why he would do this without thinking of how it would affect the children. He is a monster even if he didn't commit the murders his mind is only set on the mighty dollar.

because at the time the media drummed into peoples heads Blacks think this Whites think that.
usually confusing things like "do you think OJ did it" with "do you think a racist cop could plant evidence against a black person"
Plus I think most black people only cheered about the fact that the case is over and they can watch the TV and see their favorite shows and real news instead of that OJ crap.

I didn't support it and I was apalled when his lawyer pulled the race card IN THE COURT ROOM! This guy murdered two people and his lawyer was so unethical that he pulled the race card to get him off. I think it's just awful that he isn't sitting in jail right now instead of making money off of a very illegal thing he did. YES, HE DID IT! WE ALL KNOW THIS DEEP DOWN!

I think too many black people follow the worst leaders. So many black leaders make themselves important by driving wedges inbetween blacks and whites over things that most of us agree on

What we saw when the verdict was delivered were groups of blacks cheering and stuff, what we did not see wre those blacks that were appalled by the decision.
EDIT, that is why, some people onyl believe what the media shows them
