I mean damn a 2 hour special for a parole hearing? lol

This was quite acceptable in those days.

That's an interesting take. I've felt that OJ was a terrible symbol for black struggles with law enforcement because he was actually guilty. Like pick someone who's actually innocent and rally behind that person. But it's interesting to hear someone make the argument that he was actually a great symbol because he got away with it, just like many cops have gotten away with murdering and mistreating blacks. Essentially it forced rest of America walk in our shoes. Really interesting.. but I still think it's disgusting for anyone to argue that what he did was somehow justifiable.

People are fascinated with OJ for one big reason alone. He was in the minds of most White Americans a guilty man who was correctly found to be "not guilty" by a wise Jury who followed the evidence and their Instructions. He was guilty because he was a wife beater and who threatened to kill his wife and get away with it. He was not guilty because the reasonable doubts on every facts concerning his alleged guilty act were not eliminated by the Prosecution. He appears to have a guilty mind but the Prosecution could not prove his guilty act beyond reasonable doubt as required by the criminal law. These White Americans are suffering from COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.

He was rich enough to afford a dream team of lawyers and 3. He benefited from the perfect timing of the racial discrimination blk folks recv from the LAPD...if I was on trial back then we all know where my black ass would be right now

The conversation was about OJ's upcoming release Will Cain just couldn't give it no peace He did his best, while being polite But mainly came off as your typical white He was so concerned about OJ being acquitted of the two murders And now getting a parole with only 9 years severed Its just the kind of thing that leaves one un-nerved Then Micheal Eric Dyson came on the show And had to school our boy Will, who seemed awfully slow He gave a nice pitch but you could just feel his hate And Micheal Eric Dyson wasn't going to let him skate And after so eloquently 'dropping knowledge on our boy Will There was nothing for Will to do but be perfectly still For once he had met someone who didn't have a RTIQ(Room Temperature IQ) Consequently, he was left sh*tless and didn't know what to do. The interviewed ended very soon after that With Will Cain being definitely given his hat. Hey Will, in the future, please remember Never try to be Nickle Slick with people who are Quarter Smart You will only get a bad case of indigestion and a broken heart.

Hopefully he will stay low (somewhat invisible) and stay to himself. But the media really depresses me when they continue to bring him up in coverage. Trump is enough depression! This Black/White thing is "old also." But The Lord stated that this will happen. I am glad that I know and can trust in Him!
