re: O.J. Simpson showed white Americans just how conditional their comfort with black athletes

Turns out heinously murdering two people and getting away with it will harbor some ill-will.

Nicole Brown Simpson was a whore, and Ron Goldman was a gigolo. No major losses in my opinion.

Over the years, the Bronco chase has been viewed as a galvanizing moment, as a third of the country tuned in to watch the tragedy unfold. That night, NBC concluded that O.J. Simpson’s fall from grace was important enough to disrupt an epic battle between two of the greatest NBA players of all time. The chase not only disrupted the NBA Finals — it also unsettled the comfort white Americans had developed for black athletes. For years, black athletes, and Simpson in particular, were held up as signs of the progress made toward bridging America’s racial divide. That night, however, he served as a stark reminder of how conditional that comfort was.

I watched a 1 hr documentary on the OJ case. While I recognize that one of the prosecutors had a questionable past, OJ still should have been convicted. Even if you dismiss the "glove", the circumstantial and DNA testing alone trapped him.

I do have some concerns regarding black athletes and whites, but this is the WORSE POSSIBLE example.

I don't know if he is mixed or not, but he was raised by a white family in Milwaukee, WI and played college ball in Nevada.

He was probably never really around that many black people until he got to the NFL.

If you had watched the entire trial, in particular, the DNA portion of the trial was skillfully questioned and refuted by Barry Scheck. DNA evidence and that sort of highly technical testimony is generally very hard for juries to follow.

Prosecutors are used to having many significant advantages at trial OJ's defence took away all those advantages and the prosecution was simply outgunned and overwhelmed.

His lawyers made it sound like errors were rampant and that the way it was handled could have changed the blood type in the results.

"dream team" was composed of a bunch of grandstanding blowhards known for settling or losing cases, deck was stacked in their favor though because of the gross buffoonery of the LA prosecutors, a jury that had made up its mind pre-trial, and a star struck, idiot judge

OJ was probably the most loved and accepted black dude in the US right up to the point where he murdered 2 people.

Another shitty writer. Where the frick do these people go to J school?
