    He wasnt acquitted by an all black jury, and the acquittal was not an act of racism, it was an act of logic given the incompetent police investigation.

      Again, if it happened when jury was predominantly white, I would agree with you. As such your statement is unproven speculation.

      From Wikipedia about Simpson trial:

      After the verdict, polling showed that 75 percent of White Americans thought Simpson was guilty while 70 percent of Black Americans thought he was innocent.

      If you think that somehow Black juries were immune to that, you have to provide strong evidence of that.

        Sounds like 70% of Black Americans had a view of our police force that white Americans only recently woke up to.

            How did you take that from what I wrote? I said that white people were dumb and naiive in trusting the evidence from an overtly racist, corrupt, and incompetent lapd.
