Whites, blacks see Bryant case differently
I bet you men and women view it dfferently too.

But more than two-thirds of blacks in that sample and in an identical poll July 25-27 said they think the charge is false. About one-fourth believed it is true. Whites in the two polls were about evenly split.

Forty percent of whites also said they were "very" or "somewhat" sympathetic toward Bryant. Nearly two-thirds of blacks were sympathetic.

Asked whether they felt sorry for Simpson, 64% of blacks said they were sympathetic. Just 34% of whites said that. One-fifth of blacks were unsympathetic, vs. more than half of whites.

The same poll, taken shortly before Tyson's release from prison, found that far more blacks (71%) believed the rape charge was false. One-third of whites thought that.
