ESPN 30 for 30: O.J. Made In America Series [Discussion Thread]

Really I didn't know they were going to touch on her dirt, surprised her sister participated knowing this

I read they were, but I may be wrong.

SAS calling out OJ for his self hate is hilarious, and not surprising he calls out the black community as well.

 

[BillBanneker]

they are going to talk about some of this in the documentary.

Dont know how they will explain it, (OJ absue lead her to there?) I do not know. But htey are supposed to talk about how much of a mess Nicole Brown Simpson was.

I'll be surprised if they didn't

SAS has a valid argument/point with OJ leaving the country as soon as he was acquitted on the double murder charge.

OJ really did not think that he was a black man or even a regular man. He thought he was above all. Any other black

man would have faded into obscurity but not OJ. Nah, he still had to be out there doing the most. With that said, I can't say

that I wish wrong on him, however, kudos to the filmmaker for providing a fresh perspective on how the events in his life shaped

who he was and became. A lot of us give posters flack about being militant when speaking out against c00ns and single mothers

but OJ's behaviors as an adult (entitlement, selfishness, lack of awareness) can all be attributed to him being reared without

proper male guidance and a strong black male presence in your life.

My problem with SAS is he really thinks that the judicial system is perfect, while OJ didn't think he was the typical black man neither does SAS when it comes to the law.

Was that show on Fox any good?

I have it downloaded, just dont know if it's worth making time for.

True. Sickening and Selfish IMO. The Filmmaker has done an excellent job highlighting the prevalence of social acceptances in circles of high society. The fact that they thought he needed to be groomed and use less slang was insane to me.

Bomani and Lebatard have both said on the radio today that part 1 is the "weakest" of the entire set, if that was the weak part shyt is about to get real

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Is there a way to stream this or download this anywhere when it shows on ESPN?

SAS still doesnt understand it wasnt about OJ but more about Americas Justice System and its treatment of AA

 

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

OK I'm almost at the end of the first episode and I'm astonished...I lived through the OJ trial, am 36 years old so I missed out on watching him play etc, but I knew a lot of his career from living and growing up in L.A. but I NEVER realized how big this nikka was at his time. This nikka was JORDAN before Jordan. Only thing he didn't have was a shoe deal and that's because NFL players don't get them. He was the most recognizable athlete in the U.S. at that time

Next time someone asks me "why are people still talking about this" my answer will be "because this is like Jordan being accused of a double murder after he retired".

I was also surprised at how popular he was in the past. No wonder why this was the most popular trial in the 20th century....even to this day.

He understands, he just wanted to call black folks dumb.

 

[O.G.B]

I read they were, but I may be wrong.

I'll believe it when I see it!

 

[DrexlersFade]

Everybody gets to see finally why Juice was the G.O.A.T. will be catching this on the re-air tom

This has to be his biggest tragedy in his eyes. Dude probably doesn't care about not being a hero, or being broke, or even in jail like that. But knowing he broke that bond with white folks 20 years ago must be killing him. Dude was Brentwood down to the socks and got blacklisted from the neighborhood.

O.J.’s famous chase in the white Ford Bronco ended right at his home in Brentwood. But after the situation had calmed down somewhat, O.J. had to turn himself over to police to get booked. He was escorted to a car.

“As we take off, Simpson is amazed at the crowds,” Weireter said. “He just couldn’t believe there were this many people there. And he said, ‘What are all these n***ers doing in Brentwood?”

The cop misunderstands, OJ was shocked that so many Blacks were in "his" neighborhood
