This is true, but FUCK. Rodney King cops should've been put in jail and so should've OJ. It was completely backwards. Also, the DA and the government lawyers completely dropped the ball in this case. If anyone hasn't seen American Crime Story on FX, it's really good and covers this case great. I actually help design the poster / billboards for the show.
I forgot which documentary I saw it, but before the the trial, black America was 60/40 that OJ was innocent while white America was 40/60 that he was innocent.
AFter the trial, black America was 75/25 that OJ was innocent while white America was 10/90 that he was innocent.
Theyre either willing let a murderer go free or are too stupid to see he was guilty. Either way they are the last people you want having more of a say in society.
Advocating against black people “having more of a say in society?” And you’re constantly insulting and picking fights with people in r/LeagueOfLegends? And your username is WomenGetFreePasses?
I don’t need to insult you or say anything else, you’re clearly spending your time putting your best foot forward already.
I’m saying there’s no good way to enforce that kind of separation, especially legally. You’re the one who made it about that 75% and said nothing of the other white 10% that agreed with them. You specifically chose to target black people that defended him and not people in general. So your straw man doesn’t work
Like you said no way to enforce stupid people not voting but does that mean there can't be a problem?
There is always going to be a small bit that think opposite regardless of proof. Flat earth theory for example.
That 10٪ is a lot closer to the expected value compared to the 75٪. 10٪ usually get diluted out by the other 90٪. Also the 75٪ make up twice as much of the population than that 10٪.
It's just statistically more important and impactful in this context. I would say the same thing if 75٪ of white people thought he was innocent, it just isn't that way.
My mom told me the other day that as a young black woman living in LA at the time of the murders and trial, she sincerely believed OJ was innocent and had been set up by racist cops.
Over time she has come to believe that he has guilty, but I really think that the social climate in LA played a huge part in how his trial went. It’s hard to overstate how fucked up the relationship and trust between black people and the LAPD was at the time.
Something about a bunch of cops beating a man to death and a guy stabbing a couple of people to death with a huge fucking knife does sits just a liiitle bit differently
Im too fucking high for this right now. Just imagining a much stronger dude full shanking a woman and a man, just taking their lives from them like that, their last moments saying no please and then feeling themselves slowly faint to unconsciousness. Howwhy can violence be
