View points

The Racial Divide is still prevalent Indeed. I leave the judgement to God.  What is so polarizing is that the justice system has often failed minorities.  I was not on the Jury. If I didn't personally see it I hold my judgement?  So many minorities have been convicted falsely when the evidence was blatantly false.  OJ's death again opened the wounds of America. The issue is how we convicted OJ without knowing all the facts. I personally disliked the way he abused his wife. Truth is not always Black or White it is gray.

Good afternoon

It was his actions that caused all of the hype, not his skin color.

I am with FSI all the way on this one. I never did feel his incarceration or being caught on the highway were racial; I think he was a famous Dude who saw himself above the law.

The thing is I believe there is more unity with regard to the view of OJ. Most people over the last decade believe he did it (a position I hold). Most people criticized his burglary attempt. Most people also criticized his exploitative book.
