I was a senior in high school. Man...white folks were pissed.
I remember in school, I think History class, we were having a debate on who the best defense lawyer OJ had. From what I had read, it seemed like F. Lee Bailey was the most experienced. Some kid asked me who did I thought (I was the only black kid in the class) and the a$$hole teacher said "YOU BETTER NOT SAY JOHNNIE COCHRAN". Even though I thought it was F. Lee Bailey beforehand, I said Johnnie Cochran anyway just to fukk wit him. Y'all have no idea how much white folks hated Cochran when OJ got acquitted.
White teachers gave the black kids no slack. Any and every little thing could get a suspension. I got suspended for picking up a calculator and giving it back to the person who dropped it. Teacher claimed he stole it, even though he's had the same broken ass calculator since freshmen year. And since I handed it to him when it dropped I was a part of it. Both of us got 1 week suspension. I was a senior, about to graduate and had perfect attendance up until that point. I told the Dean about it (who was black) but he didn't give a shyt cuz he was c00n trying to get in good with the white folks. He put another week on top of the week I had already got. 2 week suspension over some bullshyt because they was pissed at OJ.
You see today white people being bold with their racism. Not even hiding it anymore. I think it all started when OJ got off. White folks were heated.
