159. History supports my point of view.
This case is about race and justice, the kind of justice or lack thereof given to minorities. A black man's acquittal by a mostly black jury is illegitimate in the eyes of some people. The verdict of that black jury is not accepted. The verdict of a mostly white jury IS accepted. And yet some will say no racism involved. I disagree and can assure you that many African Americans,even those who believe Simpson may be guilty are in agreement with me. If there is no outrage when an admitted murderer is acquitted but continued rage at a black man who was acquitted ten years ago, there is something else going on and IMHO, it's race.
