The LAPD had been abusing black people forever. The OJ trial brought international attention to the situation of systemic racism in policing and the legal system. It wasn’t that black people were glad he got away with murder. Read up on the trial. The lead detective talked with a reporter on tape years earlier, and talked about beating, killing, planting evidence, and other abuses against black men specifically.
Ok? And why do people still worship R. Kelly? Why do people still support Drake? Chris Brown beat the shit out of Rhianna and people are still fine with him. I don’t think the LAPD have anything to do with that.
You see? You made an excuse for the OJ trial, but it’s just that; an excuse. It doesn’t extend to other examples of people wanting “their person” to get a pass, which others will make different excuses for. It’s all the same when you get down to it: humanity as a whole is shitty and often want exceptions to rules for people they like and identify with. No race is more or less prone to this. To claim otherwise is ignorance at best; disingenuous and purposely inciteful at worst.
