How the OJ Simpson Trial divided America
As you watch the reactions from both black and white people, remember, EVERYONE
(including the jury) knew he was guilty. He killed his wife, the mother of his children, and
almost decapitated her. That is as bad as sex abuse can get.

A Look Back at the OJ Simpson Verdict -- Different Reactions from Different People

This is a look back at the different reactions to the OJ Simpson verdict some 20 years ago (exact date of verdict was Oct 3, 1995).
What started off as a murder trial evolved into a case about race, celebrity, wealth, and what wealth could buy. Only three years earlier in the same city of Los Angeles, riots occurred after a jury acquitted three police officers involved in the Rodney King beating. This was fresh in the minds of the American public at the time of the OJ Simpson trial.
The OJ Simpson jury consisted of 9 Blacks, 1 Hispanic, and 2 Whites. It would raise eyebrows after they only deliberated for 4 hours in a case that they were involved in for almost a year. It's important to note that the clip also shows that not all African-Americans thought OJ was innocent.

That absolutely was a turning point--along with Rodney King--in the coverage of black criminal cases on TV and in print.Media started to push the racist angle in regards to punishing blacks and their crimes. Now,whites are sent to prison for defending themselves(Michael Drejka).Whites--specifically in the case of 72 year old James Meyer--are arrested for murder,when a burglar is spotted in Meyer's backyard breaking into a shed--and shot dead.
Now the agenda is so obvious that Holt regularly displays a "white criminal of the day"on NNN,while avoiding the airing of black crimes.Further,Holt has proactively gone on air to have criminal blacks--that he believes are unfairly imprisoned--released,while propagandizing other cases(Central Park 5)on air in order to change the publics perception of that crime from 1989.
In fact,black crime is never seen on ANY MSM broadcast I observe anymore, unless the story is too big to ignore(Samuel Little).
OJ's acquittal got the liberal ball rolling though.

Totally forgotten is Goldman. An innocent just returning lost sunglasses. The attack on Goldman from my perspective is what started the whole thing off. OJ just outside the home watching and when he saw the young guy approach the house he just went negro berserk.
The whole fallacy of the trial was it should of been held in Santa Monica county where the murders took place, but somehow they held the trial in LA, they were afraid of another riot ala rodney king, OJ's defense team knew then that they were to make it about race, they knew it was their only chance, and being in LA they can stack the jury with blacks, they won before the trial even started

The incompetence of Marcia Clark and Chistopher Darden was a wonder to behold. I recall their strategy was to get black women on the jury to sympathize with the plight of the "abused woman". An idiotic strategy that backfired spectacularly. I could have told them it wouldn't work but they never asked me.
If the legal team was smarter it would have looked at OJ & Johnny Cochran, then looked at the nerdy looking Darden and a white female prosecutor and realized that there is no creature on this planet more racist & sexist than the black female (just edging out the black male) and they had no chance unless they changed their visual presentation.
