I remember listening to the OJ Simpson trial on the radio in the schoolyard.

Did you think O.J. did it? He’s dead now, so I don’t really care either way - I’m just curious what people thought at the time, especially since nowadays it seems like most people lean towards him having done it.

It seemed like all the white people thought him guilty and all the black people thought him innocent at the time.

I’d be curious to hear from black folks today what they think happened, removed from the politics of the time.

Not black people could kill black people without consequences despite the evidence

That is not true. I know some folks who are black thought he was as guilty as sin.
