Do you agree that the ongoing persecution of OJ Simpson was racist in motivation?

A racist named Mark Fuhrman, horrified that a black man could enjoy success in this racist nation, decided to frame an innocent man for a double homicide.

Fortunately, Simpson was acquitted, but the racists were not finished. Fast forward more than a decade later, and the racists then framed him for kidnapping and theft.

If OJ Simpson were white he never would have had these troubles. People in power see someone like Simpson and they do whatever they can to undermine him because of his race.

Stated like a true revisionist. My guess is that you weren't even born when the homocides took place. Now that you have read all of the conspiracisy theories, you are now an expert on the subject. I still believe that he was acquitted because Marsha Clark was not qualified to lead the prosecution and that OJ Simpson had a crack legal team along with him being a professional football icon. You do know that he lost big time in the civil wrongful death case.

I respectfully agree to disagree. There was valid evidence that could prove Mr. Simpson was truly the culprit, however, I do believe that he would've had it a bit easier, had he been white. On the other side of the coin, He has had a history of narcissistic behavior that can be linked to mental illness, which, in turn, can be linked to violent behavior. This may have been the (due to lack of a better term) motive for killing the two women in the first place, along with them aggravating Mr. Simpson to the point of murder. To sum it up, because I believe my point is unclear, I'm unconvinced that he has killed the women that he was accused of killing, and I believe that he may have been discriminated upon because of his race. On the other hand, I also am not convinced that Mr. Simpson didn't murder the women, and that he may have been the true killer. I hope that I was helpful in answering your question.

OJ deserves to be persecuted. He got away with murder. But yes, part of it is racially motivated. He is being punished for marrying a white woman. And he must also understand that since he is black, the punishment for ANY crime will be much harsher than normal.

Back then, 30 years ago: We didn't know a lot about the DNA evidence presented in the trial---presided by the INCOMPETENT Judge Lance Ito. O.J.'s "dream team" attorneys used every dirty trick available--which included "setting up" LAPD detective Mark Furman ( I think OJ's lawyers discreetly paid him to sabotage the case ), among other things.



Well, we NOW know A LOT MORE ABOUT DNA evidence; we know he would have been CONVICTED IF we knew back then, what we know now.



Karma got OJ: The solid evidence that has him locked up NOW till he dies saw to that; I'm quite OK with that, too.

Your giving Furman way to much credit. As far as OJ is concerned.

Did he kill Nicole and her boy toy. NO. Did he have her and the toy

killed. Yes. So in the charges that should have been brought forward.

Conspiracy to commit. Accessory to a 187. That would have put OJ

away for life. Furman low level player.

The jurors weren't all black. He didn't get convicted because he didn't do it. To say he did is like saying he's smarter than Dr. Henry Lee. If dr. Couldn't lock you up you probably did not commit the crime. Had the local law enforcement not been so hell bent on one person and went into it with and open mind they may have locked him up or found the real killer instead of having to set his dumbass up later and give him ridiculous time for petty crime because they were still butt hurt from the first time. And his dumbass taking the bait pretty much proves he's not even close to smart enough to get away with murder.

yes, the police were persecuting him when they called him at home and asked if it was okay to come over to arrest him. Obviously you are too young to know anything about this case except what your probably racist family has told you about the white man holding you down. My suggestion is to take that chip off your shoulder, go out into the real world and work hard and dont expect anyone black or white to give you anything you dont deserve.

OJ is just another sports figure who thinks his schit doesn't stink. He along with these other celebrities, no matter why they have that status, actor, politician, or whatever think they can get away with everything. The phrase "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" means nothing to me. OJ is a murderer and a criminal and belongs right where he is.
2016-02-04 10:12:34 UTC
If a white man did the exact same thing(s) OJ did, there wouldn't be any question at all about race, but because he's black its immediately "The white devil bringing the black man down". He got exactly what he deserved.

Not at all if anything the media and his professional/celebrity status helped him get off the hook for a crime that would have landed any unfamous person of any skin color in jail. Far as I can tell the evidence against him is staggering and he got off the hook due to a cop out catch phrase

OJ Simpson should have been put to death because he was a bad man.
2016-02-04 05:36:38 UTC
Say What, what has OJ being an ASSHAT got to do with Politics - besides nothing nor am I about to agree with the stupid of YA's ... sadly, you are another whining, blaming PHOOL in YA's :( !

OJ is where he belongs and hopefully will die in prison too. He will probaly never admit to the brutal murders because he is a coward and he still hopes his kids want him in their lives. But he is just trash.
2016-02-03 13:24:57 UTC
OJ was a filthy murderer and crook. The only reason he got off the first time was because he could afford an awesome defense.
2016-02-04 21:37:20 UTC
What you are saying is the lawmen had it in for him. That is plausible to me, but where does it say that they are not free to do what they think is right, viewing him with suspicion? Personally, all I really know about the case is that they pre-empted ordinary television to broadcast a case of no significance. You should ask Barbara Walters what it means.

Your full of ****! OJ LITERALLY got away with murder because an all BLACK jury didn't WANT to believe he committed murder. I blame the prosecution and the judge for being dumb enough to think they could be impartial; BIG mistake!

If you would like to know who the real murderer is; then go to Youtube and type in the browser:("My Brother the Seriel Killer") and watch that documentary. (OJ is Innocent; just as he stated over and over again.

I don't think your spin is correct, but I am on the wrong side of the country to have any non-news source knowledge of the men.

You're a complete moron. If you have any form of intelligence you would know that the evidence made him look guilty. Go educate yourself, fool.

O.J. is going through his current problems because he is a murderer and he did not have to pay the price and suffer for his crimes. He deserves every bad thing that happens to him.

Yes, the racist Mark Fuhrman framed him and the black jury was smart enough to figure it out.

OJ got what he deserved. he was not framed. he did it and because he had great lawyers, he got a not guilty verdict

absolutely not

only a racist believes the prosecution was racist

2016-02-03 13:27:21 UTC
OJ has never been persecuted. He was PROSECUTED for murder, then for robbery.
2016-02-03 19:20:51 UTC
Yes. I also agree he's a murdering sack of ****.
2016-02-03 13:25:18 UTC
Yes.

No. He's a criminal. Becoming a murderer was his choice. His race is inconsequential
?
2016-02-04 14:06:54 UTC
most people who watched the case closely concluded he was the perpetrator of the murders.
2016-02-04 21:20:16 UTC
No, not at all, how come everything has to be a racist conspiracy for liberals?
2016-02-04 02:13:26 UTC
Nope!

2016-02-05 05:44:51 UTC
No. I also think that those making this claim are, themselves, racist.
2016-02-04 17:21:31 UTC
no way
2016-02-03 13:28:01 UTC
no
