[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, every time a white person erupts in hysterics over the outcome of the OJ trial, I know I am dealing with:

(1) a person too stupid to understand what "beyond reasonable doubt" means.

(2) an idiotic racist who thinks white lives are more important than all other lives. If you are not similarly disturbed and aggrieved by the [I]thousands[/I] of unavenged black deaths in the time since the OJ trial, feel free to take a flying leap off the nearest bridge.[/quote]

AMEN![/quote]

As a white person who lived through the trial and remembers it in the context of Rodney King etc., I do think I get it. I remember at the time listening to the interviews of black Americans and thinking that whites and blacks weren't really even talking about the same thing. (One guys's trial vs. institutional racism) I also didn't really care that he got off- he's just one, over-privileged guy with a bunch of expensive lawyers. BUT... I really can't see how anyone, white or black, thinks he really didn't do it, in real life. That I don't get.[/quote]
