Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman's families are slamming O.J. Simpson's "In Memoriam" tribute at the BET Awards ... calling it entirely inappropriate.

Fred Goldman, Ron's father, tells TMZ he can't wrap his head around the O.J. tribute ... saying there was absolutely no positive spin on his inclusion in the segment, which was introduced as honoring Black excellence lost in the last year.

Fred insists, even though they probably won't, BET should issue an apology ... telling us, "I think they shouldn't include anyone of that caliber -- a wife beater, murderer … can't imagine why they would include someone like that."

He calls it a slap in the face to his and Nicole's families ... insisting BET should've exercised more thought and sensitivity before making such a decision.

Nicole's sister Tanya echoed the same sentiment, telling TMZ, "It's inappropriate to give an abuser and murderer recognition."

Tanya said, "Whoever thought of doing that owes every domestic violence victim an apology…and that’s including our family. And, they should be fired."

I would have DJ Premier make the crowd shout out "OJ Rest in PEACE" live on stage while the "In Memory of..." Instrumental is playing on the PA system.
