Remind you of anything happening today?
shareMy recollection is that people of all races had widely differing opinions, and never noticed any correlation between a person's race and their opinion regarding his guilt. More than anything else, however, I recall that nearly everyone believed him guilty. My mother was one of a few I knew who thought he was innocent. She thought Marcus Allen was the killer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
shareExactly.
shareWhite people tended to follow the mountain of evidence to a rational conclusion. That's what I did, and prior to the murders I liked him. Black people, at least those shown on tv dancing and cheering when he was acquitted, appeared not to give a damn about the evidence, and just wanted him to get off because he was black. It is similar to what's happening today with regard to BLM and its naive fellow travelers.

Unfortunately, there's some truth in this.
I remember distinctly arguing about the O.J. case with some members of my family at a big gathering (big mistake), and they proclaimed his innocence. When I recapped the evidence, they said it was planted. So I asked them that since the police planted all that evidence on O.J. the night the murders happened, what was the police's plan if the real murderer was caught by the FBI or even if the "real" murderer turned himself/herself in? How would the police explain that? Of course, there was no answer, the "real" killer was never found and no evidence of the "real" killer exists anywhere.
I finally got them to admit they wanted him to get away with it because of all the brothers who were hung by a kangaroo court over the years when they were innocent. I said fine, let's just be intellectually honest about this.
I suspect most blacks knew he was guilty but many wanted him to get away with it anyway. Certainly the ones camped outside the courthouse did.
Interesting, though the media doesn't help with BLM today
There's heaps of BLM / Antifia rioters that have long criminal records and the latest BLM "issues" are about criminal subjects breaking the law.
And the mainstream media never mentions this fact. They selectivity edit the coverage, and independent journalists report online.
But then in the lefts disillusion they think its like some "alt right" thing, a term the media created to lump in a wide range of ideas and concepts, and its to a point now, that ANYTHING other than woke/PC leftist culture, is labeled "alt right".
Just like in Scientology and the "suppressive people"
Any facts that destroy the narrative? That's just alt right BS!
Anyone disagree? There the racist!
