Black opinion on the OJ Simpson acquittal -- oops?

Question

Given the bizarre antics of OJ Simpson and his confession, have his supporters in black America given a collective slap to their foreheads and belatedly admitted they were rooting 10 years ago for a vicious killer?

Answer 1

I can't believe people actually believed him in the first place. The glove could fit. How else would any glove fit when you have a rubber glove on your hand? I was only a few years old then but I know more about it now. It's all bull to me and I can't believe they let him go because the glove didn't fit over his rubber glove. My god....

Answer 2

OJ is a man who was thoroughly investigated, was tried in a court of law that was presided over by a fair judge and had the evidence evaluated by a jury who found him innocent of murder. He has always maintained his innocence of this deed and he wrote a theoretical book (which does not contain a confession). Money was probably the motivation in writing the book as there is a civil suit debt and a need to provide an inheritance for his children etc. The trial attorney's Cochran, Marcia and Darden wrote their own books and received millions.
A few things that the jury may have considered:
-The investigator who found the glove later committed PERJURY regarding his racist comments.
- Another investigator took a vial sample of OJ's blood from the lab and carried it INTO the crime scene.
- The glove DID NOT fit OJ's hand.
- There never was the amount of blood on OJ's body, clothes, house or car CONSISTENT with someone who had committed that crime in person..
- The murder weapon was NEVER connected to him or found.
- The jury was taken to visit OJ's house and DID NOT see a large blood trail.
- There were no witnesses to the actual crime.
- Likely the jury found him innocent because there was a LACK of real evidence to convict.
Some may disagree with the verdict but it's unfair for them to blatantly say with a certainty that this man is guilty.
At times a publisher controlls the general content and even the title of a book which an author must agree to if he needs the contract.

Answer 3

Answer 4

I was rooting AGAINST him 10 years ago. Most black people that I know were rooting against him the whole time and to this day consider the whole incident to be a national embarrassment. Everybody knew that man killed his wife. I find it disgusting that the media (as usual) found that one small yet loud and visible group of black OJ supporters and splashed their images across every viable news outlet in the country.

The only issue that most black people had about the whole mess was that, if OJ's wife had been black, white people would have immediately assumed that he was innocent instead of guilty, nobody would have cared, and the trial would have been over in about 2 weeks with minimal media coverage. The only reason it was a big issue was because a big black guy killed his little blonde wife, which totally managed to overshadow the fact that Nicole was slutting around.

The only person I feel sorry for in all of this is Ron what's-his-name. He was an innocent gay man trapped in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Answer 5

It wasn't that he became black it became the certainty that till that factor no person had ever lined an ordeal in such element on television and stay coverage as much as this occasion were lined. the certainty that each and every person have been given to work out the evidence and purely how responsible he became and a few how became got here upon no longer responsible made human beings know how fualty the judicial equipment somewhat is. human beings hear approximately it yet this is diverse than surely getting to computer screen it unfold. I additionally beleive the style wherein OJ had performed himself throughout the time of and after the trial has alot to do with it too. the guy is a moron and that i think of he gets off on the attention he gets from it. additionally it wasn't purely the only remoted incident with OJ there have been various 911 calls from Nicole Brown the place OJ had beat her or became harrasing her. human beings have been appualed at his habit and the certainty that he became renowned became extra of a element than his shade. the comparable way have been are extra fascinated whilst Lindsy Lohan Wreckes her vehicle inebriated that the well-known guy or woman. As for human beings no longer being upset whilst this is white on black. Did you permit out the Rodney king trial? a lot of human beings have been outraged whilst the law enforcement officials have been got here upon no longer responsible of their 1st trial. the form is they went back after them with federal fees to flow around the double jepardy regulations and positioned them away. advantageous attempt on making each and every thing approximately race.

Answer 6

IF THE GLOVE DON'T FIT.......

YOU MUST AQUIT!

That had to be the most bizzar and racially motivated statements I've ever heard of in a trial.

There will never come a day where the African Americans will let the past lay in the past and simply concentrate on today and the now. The American Indians have.... they were treated much, much worst. We actually took thier land and forced them to live in reservations. The reservations still exist today.

GET OVER IT! Or pack your things and go back to Africa! Racist people SUCK! I'd rather not live in a country where I had to constantly use "race" as the cause of my problems. You are what you make yourself to be. No one can change that except you. Sure some have opinions and negative feelings toward other races, however, it is because they have so much doubt about who they actually are, that thier insecurities in themselves make them think that if they can make the other race seem worst than they are, they will feel dominant.

GET REAL AMERICA, It's 2006 for Pete's Sake!
