Yea, R Kelly was the first name that came to mind, but I see why it doesn’t work from the blackness view (I didn’t even take it as asking about OJ in the sense of blackness being in question, just about asking about asking about a questionable Black figure, but I can see that angle now).
Regardless, I still think OJ was an out of place reference for current times. When was the last time a Black person asked if you supported OJ? Hell, Ye would’ve been a better joke, or one of the many less influential c00ns if they were worried about burning bridges.
