I went and read that article and cut and pasted it for my email group. This is what I said in front of the article. This is the first of a series that they are doing about the verdict. Note that even in this introduction, they don't even consider that he could have been innocent and they have no idea how biased that they are. I am sure that they won't ever do the statistics of how many people who watched all the trial thought he was innocent and those who just got their information from the news thought he was guilty. And I have seen those who did watch the trial, in the white world, change over the years and now think he was probably guilty. They could not hold up to the pressure of the white world to have a belief that the majority of whites did not have. If I say in a group of white people that OJ was not guilty, then they treat me like I must be crazy or retarded or something. But if a black person would say the same thing in a white group, then they are not crazy or retarded or something, because it is OK for a black to say it, but not a white. This is where the real predudice shows up. I am white so I am only sane and intelligent as long as I think like the majority of white people, but it is not insane or retarded for a black to think as the majority of black people. They are just sticking with their own. They have no idea that a group of whites and blacks could come to the same conclusion thru there own intelligent and common sense. They would have no understanding of that concept.
