He may or may not have done it. I'm just happy the jury acted responsibly and took the time necessary (9 days) to make their decision. The OJ decision was made by an irresponsible, mostly black (and quite racist) group of people who made their decision in about an hour. The ONLY reason OJ got off is because he's a black man who killed a couple white people and faced a black jury.

:lol :lol :lol OJ got off because a racist LAPD fuckwad deliberately planted evidence (as if it was even neccessary), and because the prosecution team were the most incompetent boobs in American legal history. A bunch of chimps masquerading as defense lawyers could've gotten OJ acquitted. So shut the FUCK up.

You judge a man by his actions not his words. I defy you to find one instance of an actual act of racism that has been proven true concerning Fuhrman.

He was an LAPD officer, that's good enough for me. :lol

Secondly, what lies at the heart of the OJ acquittal was that it was one of the greatest injustices in recent history.

:lol :lol :lol So because a black guy got away with murdering some white bitch, it's one of the greatest injustices in history? Spare me.

As yourself this. If OJ had gone in front of a white jury would he have been acquitted? There were most certainly other factors but the fact the jury was black was the ONLY thing that got him off the hook. There really is no denying this. Polls show that the majority of whites believed he was guilty while the majority of blacks believed he was innocent. Why is this? Is "whitey" somehow programmed to believe the black man (even a beloved celebrity, who even "whitey" now-a-days worships) is guilty no matter what, or is it the black man is programmed to believe the white man will do anything to fuck him over?

If all you see is a "white bitch" being killed by a black guy who got away with it, you're obviously too retarded to understand the underlying problem here.

So, in this instance, blacks were wrong? Again, you demonstrate utter contempt for the intelligence of the black community, suggesting that they're incapable of weighing evidence and arriving at a logical judgement.

Look, I'm not going to argue this any further because you obviously don't get it. You're dillusional if you think that OJ got off for any reason other than the jury being black. He was guilty and every sound mind in America knew it and knows it today, unless they're completely ignorant of the facts.

Polls show that the majority of whites believed he was guilty while the majority of blacks believed he was innocent.

1) The only "facts" which matter were those presented in the courtroom, and the only rules which matter are the rules of law that the jury was instructed to follow while evaluating those facts. Unless you were a juror, I submit that you are ALSO "ignorant of the facts."

2) Polls have nothing to do with truth. (For further examples, please see "Al Qaeda association with Iraq" and "Iraq possession of WMDs.")

Also, I don't like your use of the word "programmed," and I don't like where this thread is going. If you think that it's possible for someone to overcome their biases and make a rational judgment based on facts, then you ought to be presenting some evidence that the Simpson jury was, in fact, acting on bias and not facts. If you think that people inevitably make judgments based on their racial or experiential background...well, I have no idea what to say to you.

For what it's worth, "reasonable doubt" is a pretty fucked-up concept, although I can't propose a better one. The fact that they are calling that guy from Atlanta the "alleged murderer" of the people he shot in court is an assault against logic. Did the fatal bullets just wink into existence by coincidence? Was the identity of someone already in police custody somehow a mystery?

As for Shinobi...you ought to have your emoticon privileges revoked, especially when you think your own bias is so damn funny.

I'm curious to hear your explanation why the polls showed the racial divide as they did? There was obviously a big difference in how people saw the case, and the way you saw it depended on the color of your skin. Why was this? In fact 78% of whites and only 22% of blacks thought he was guilty. With this staggering difference it's pretty obvious that one side was exercising less than sound judgement. The question is, what side was it and what caused them to see it this way?

"Programming" is what happens to people by their environment. The same reason most conservatives grew up in conservative households and most liberals grew up in liberal households (although with all the outside influences, this matters less now). There's exceptions to this but taken as a whole, people are molded by their environment. This environment is, in today's society, the mass media. Whether it's the news, talk shows, sit-coms, or the music they listen to, people are molded by what's around them. People think and act according to what they see and the mass media (mainly Hollywood and the music industry) portrays whites EXACTLY as most blacks see them. I don't believe the music and television is simply a reflection of this either. I think it's the cause.

EDIT

This is horribly worded. Let me simplify. People in general are brainless sheep who rely on others to formulate their opinions for them.

eh.. theis thread bores me.. but the last statement here is spot on...

Whites believed he was guilty, blacks believed he was innocent. obviously one of those trains of thought was WRONG. So which was it?

P.S. That is a rhetorical question. I don't want an answer, just agreeing that bias plays an obvious role in here and "IF" OJ really did do it, that says a lot for the black community.. and if he didn't, then that says a lot about the white community.

me personally.. I'll be ok with being labeled a bigot if I have to, because even though the evidence was all circumstantial, that dude did it...

Blake? Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.... at this point who cares. (Same with OJ, even though he did do it).

 

[ShadowRed]

Now wait a minute. You can't, at the same time, claim that predominantly white juries have been racist AND claim that there is no evidence that predominantly black juries have been racist. If one group of human beings has been biased along racial lines, then surely it's possible for another group.

Huh WTF sure he can. That's like saying you can't claim that pitBulls are any more violent than weiner dogs because they are both dogs. Dude there is a history of whites being racist, this is a fact. Show me any period of time in which blacks have for no reason other than hatred of whites acted violent and disrepectful to whites. You can't.

So basically you admit that all white people are racist...what do you want, an Oreo?

The case by the prosecution was shit. Furhman was a racist cunt. Anyone with a passing knowledge of defense law could've murdered Darden and Clark simply on the precept of reasonable doubt, which is what OJ's lawyers did. And there was enough reasonable doubt to acquit, regardless what people think. But does a white jury acquit him? Probably not. Scratch that as one more fuck up by the prosecution.

The mistake people always make regarding this trial is that they reckon the jury should've seen what we did and made OJ fry. Due to their media lockdown, the jury wasn't privey to some of the information that we saw. In fact I think a lot of stuff wasn't revealed to them, for whatever reason. Again, point the finger at Darden and Clark, not the jury.

If all you see is a "white bitch" being killed by a black guy who got away with it, you're obviously too retarded to understand the underlying problem here.

:lol All you see is a black jury acquitting OJ instead of an embarassingly incompetent prosecution losing a trial that Pee Wee Herman could've won, so don't talk to me about what I see you little scrot. The woman was a cheat, so the bitch term isn't exactly inappropriate anyway.

As for Shinobi...you ought to have your emoticon privileges revoked, especially when you think your own bias is so damn funny.

And which bias is that Mr Know It All? The only bias I've shown in this thread is a bias against stupidity.
