How racist was it denying OJ, a Black man his Book and TV Special?

Question

NO JUST FOR THE BLACK MAN!!

They Pulled it just because he is Black.

Answer 1

Again... You're stupid.

But, i'll answer your question anyway. I don't recall anyone saying it was racist. And, I'm black and I don't feel it was racist. The media is not portraying it to be anything racist. So, you should really stop pulling theories out of your a s s. The fact of the matter is that the book and TV special was a dumb a s s idea anyway.

Answer 2

This is the most unbelievable question I have seen posted here.

NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. He was NOT denied a book and TV special. The publisher and TV station decided not to air/publish it after NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. From people like me who do not want to see a DOUBLE MURDERER making money off his CRIME! He can try to find somebody else to publish/air it if he wants.

2. We did not protest because he was black. We protested because he MURDERED people.

3. Show me where in the U.S. constitution (or any law for that matter) where someone has a RIGHT to a TV special and book. This is a capitalist society, like it or not. You get a book and TV special if it will make somebody money.

4. No Justice for the black man??????? This man got away with murdering 2 people!!!!! He has NOT given GOLDMAN a cent of the settlement!!!!!!!! Do we not have things sort of backwards here?????

5. Why do you think he is innocent? (I'm assuming you do.) Because a jury went through a years worth of testimony in 4 hours? Because black people can't commit crimes? Because he was a good actor? Because he knew how to run with a football? Because he could afford high-priced lawyers? Because black people are framed for everything? What would get you to believe he DID murder people?

Answer 3

The amount of public voice, opinion and pressures it would take for a network(s)/Publishers, to deny themselves the HUGE ratings/sales that a story (albeit very real, and ugly) of which this proportion could provide for, is probably not even half the force both victims families have, not only through their fortitude in seeing that justice prevails, but also in alot of regards, free legal help, and a variety of other supports, from believers in his guilt, and also these keepers of pressures on this murderer through many means, which will keep OJ's lawyers begging for more attention like this, so as to find it necessary to find it feasible to charge him more than they already are, to protect, in EVERY ALLOWABLE legal way possible, to help him (lol) perfectly protect his precious assets, until he is a raving lunatic and/or living in a tent somewhere on Miami Beach. But beware when he finally snaps (I'll bet it will be on one of his lawyers or women first) It is a time-bomb, an it does tick loudly.

I agree, it is because his heart is very, very black

Answer 4

the proceeds from the book and the T.V. special will go to the goldman family and OJ wont receive a cent of it cause the man still needs to settle the debt that his jealousy caused. So its not racist at all. The man knew he killed his ex wife and her friend so now he's paying for it.

Answer 5

Not at all. Writing that book and giving that interview were truly bastard moves. I hope his kids can work past the mess he's made of their lives. First he kills their mother, then he's acquitted which denies them the opportunity to be raised by someone NOT their mother's murderer, and now this. He's shameful -- black, white or otherwise. And being a Black American won't stop me from telling the truth. I wouldn't read that crap if you paid me, and I damn well wouldn't have watched the interview.

Answer 6

I like OJ with calcium, and like OJ low acid. I like OJ freshly squeezed the best. How do you prefer your OJ ? Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day and be sure to have your OJ at the Thanksgiving table

Answer 7

For some people, anything bad that happens to anybody who is black is because he's black. OJ Simpson was a reknowned football player who got rich with that and lived in Brentwood, for chrissake. This stunt was insensitive of the publishers, crude and crass money grubbing on OJ's part, and a disgrace to everybody.

Answer 8

A civil court found him responsible for the murders.. It's amazing how some blacks will take up for other blacks...no matter how evil they are. O.J. was racist when he killed two white people. Oh, and he put the money from the book deal in a special accounts in his kid's name, so it would not go to the Goldman's and Nicole family. That low class S.O.B.

Answer 9

It wasn't racist at all..it was a matter of decency and respect. Thank goodness his crap was cancelled..all of it. By the way, OJ is only a free man today because of racism...the jury that handed out his verdict was primarily Black, and they blatantly wanted to free a Black man despite the fact that he was obviously guilty. It's kind of sickening really.

Answer 10

the show was pulled because OJ Simpson is a disgusting narcissistic creep. The whole idea and concept was sick and warped. He represents nothing good.
