RIP OJ Simpson

[NobodyReally]

I remember watching the chase and verdict in college and the Black people cheering both and white folks just looking shocked and outraged. But people like to forget the Rodney King beating and police brutality acquittals happened only a few years before. Black folks were still pissed and our attitude was like who cares if he did it, fukk the entire system. We weren’t really cheering for OJ, we were looking for something else bigger than that.

The overall vibe seems to be

OJ killed two white people and got away with it. And this is a thing to celebrate.

In general, a person who would do that is not worthy of praise.

What I will say is: rich white people been getting away with killing people forever. Even lower class white people especially cops have often gotten away with murdering Black people

SOHH for OJ to use a high powered lawyer to beat a murder case wasn't especially unusual - as far a rich person abusing the system - but the fact that a niqqa killed white people turned it into a huge outrage.

It exposes racism in its way. I mean, Ted Kennedy is thought to have murdered a woman but that got buried fast. But it also rips the lid off the system that would allow money to supercede justice.

They on Bruce Jenner neck on twitter. Got the nerve to say "Good Riddance". People keep mentioning Bruce Jenner actually killed somebody with his car.

You can't be serious.

9/11 changed America forever.

The OJ Trial was bigger than things like the Waco bombing tho.

It was as big as Oklahoma City. OKC was 9/11 before the actual one.

Didn't even know he had cancer

Has anyone ever heard the theory that his oldest son did it? Or at least helped?

Apparently the son had beef with Nicole, wore beanies, was super volatile, and a chef who works regularly with knives. He also was extremely emotional at the trial. Unusually so. They also found a beanie at the scene. OJ never wore beanies.

RIP, remember when all they had on television was the chase in his Bronco in 94. Then the whole trial
Happened.

The Lawyer in the middle is Kim Kardashian's Father

It was as big as Oklahoma City. OKC was 9/11 before the actual one.

I think the OJ shyt was bigger than OKC and Waco

But nowhere close the impact of 9/11

Not saying it's right or wrong, but it wasn't even about OJ, it was about a Black man commanding the resources to get one over on the system.

168 people blown away in a federal building was a massive deal. It had never been done before in modern USA at the time. Up until 2001, April 19th was commemorated on national shows like Today and GMA, but you're right about 9/11 changing everything.
