Flashback: OJ Simpson murder trial verdict reactions

[marcuz]

When you have a fatalistic view of black America, when so many of us are doing well and we have a black president (who I disagree with on some issues, but he's been the best leader in our nation since it's inception), I can't help but think you're delusional. I'm tired of self hating nikkas like you constantly seeing our people as worthless. Sick and fukkng tired of it.

iight half-cac, we can't all live in the burbs and pretend shyt is all sweet

Not old enough to give any fukks about this but who besides OJ were suspects in this shyt?

I remember this shyt like it was yesterday. I was in middle school. We were watching it in class. The white girls burst out crying like they saw a family member get shot. All the white teachers were red faced and mad. We were happy he won, but their reactions were so unexpected. Even the white guys were crying like they knew these people. I was shocked. I was bracing myself for the guilty verdict. All the whites in class had smug looks smirking at each other like they new they had it in the bag. You literally saw faces break.
Then they showed all the black people gathering in churches and barbershops celebrating like they were in championship locker rooms! Black folk really got it in, unfortunately we're still paying for that shyt today. I've been trying to find that HBO documentary. OJ a study in black and white, but I cant

I was in my 8th grade history class when I heard the verdict. Our classroom had a slide open wall in the middle which my teacher opened it up with the class next door (which was my english teacher's) so both of our 3rd period classes saw it in one big room with 4 TVs going live

About 90percent of the class cheered , including my teachers (who were white) . The rest didn't react to it much, like "oh well".

My history teacher was jewish and he was really into the trial. To this day, I never had a teacher put us onto so much that went down during the Holocaust . We did a play (with scripts) for Anne Frank and we watched Schindler's List in class

I was in 5th grade wondering why all of us was cheering for this c00n-loving cac killer Then, when I saw all the cacs shedding their tears, I then rejoiced Not for the c00n OJ, but seeing cacs crying "justice wasn't served" was beautiful Cochran who exhibited BLACKEXCELLENCE throughout that fasco trial"If the glove don't fit, you must'a quit"

The thing that's funny about how white people hate O.J. now is that that nikka used to be BELOVED by them CACs. I mean if there was ever a nikka that white Ameica loved, it was O.J. And this was AFTER he appeared in Roots.

For the 90's babies...

This shyt almost started the race wars

Meh, I get what the trial represented but it's still a little sick to be celebrating somebody getting acquitted for murder of two people when a lot of the evidence pointed to him being guilty. At the same time, I really don't get all of the crying and personal hurt over somebody that they didn't know.

Freshman year of college....in the locker room getting ready for practice watching it with my teammates. We all went and laughed at the outraged white folks. My white teammates were

I was around 10 or 11, I remember being in 6th grade and the cac kids were mad and we were jumping around talking about "we won"

 

[jackson35]

nah its because the Million man March was a middle class smokescreen to fund capitalism into the NOI...the New Nadir was in full effect at that time and the OJ verdict was an isolated case where he got off because of his upper class status...that's it; the mid 1990s were great for the small black middle and upper class, but the retreat of working class jobs and drug abuse was devastating to the majority black population...

mmm was not organized by the nation

Ancient Karens were quite heated then lol

I remember it was 6th grade for me. After school band practice. The chorus teacher, Ms Moriarty, came in the room and said he was innocent.

Every kid in the in the room erupted into a cheer.

It was crazy



We was pulling for that man
