It wasn't about people thinking he was innocent. It was about winning over a justice system that had been very unfair to certain groups in the past

Hmm I think that some black people were celebrating the death of a white man, white woman and the fact that a freed black man did it. There are shreds of truth in all of that. That is just my opinion. I am really interested in how race relations have improved since this all happened and since Obama became prez.

But they weren't celebrating the death of a white woman and white man, they were applauding the fact that the justice system ruled in favor of a black man.

This^^^ No rational person can deny the US legal system in the past was very unfair.

But you don't rectify past injustices to one group of people by inflicting injustices on another group. That will never solve anything.

And particularly in Los Angeles, where just two years before there were riots incited by what many perceived as an act of blatant racism by the LAPD, which, it should be noted, doesn't have a clean record.

Most black people here are young adults.I was like 4 when he was acquitted.
I personally don't care either way. But to answer your question,I think he was guilty but had an accomplice

  Not odd. He was one of the most powerful NFL runningbacks all time. I know from the knife I saw in court I could easily stab 2 or 3 people to death with it.

  Didn't he supposedly kill Nicole brown Simpson and Ron Goldman at the same time? How can one person stab two grown adults to death at once? Its just odd

why does everything have to be a race thing? why can't people just be people and have their own opinion without race?

  Good question. We talk about this in sociology. Europe has much different views on race then Americans and our views on race are still evolving and hopefully all for the good.

I think it would have been a more interesting question if you would have posted this question, "DO people still think OJ Simpson was innocent of murder?" I don't see why race would influence someones decision, but maybe I'm wrong.

  at the god father, its sad to say you are probably right, to me, it doeesnt matter if the person is black or white, I certainly wouldn't judge their innocence because of the color of their skin, and I'm white btw.

  Nice way of asking, but most blacks believed he was innocent & whites thought he was guilty.
  In this case he's targeting the black community.

Do all white people think Casey Anthony is innocent?

No

Most black people will admit he got away with it. At the time, during the hysteria, it was a victory...but afterward, when reality set in, so did common sense

I thought even black people knew he did it. I'm non-black & lived outside of America when the murder & trial happened but as far as my knowlege.. black people knew he got away with murder. (ex Oprah, black comedians, etc)

  OJ pleaded no contest in 1989 on a charge of domestic violence against Nichole Brown Simpson, but the murders did not happen until 1994.

  Excellent last statement and it was 1989 when it happened by the way. I agree 100% with what you last said
- Answerer

  I wasn't born then. I thought it happened in the 90's? I lived in Canada then & was way too young to remember anything. I'm gonna conclude that when the crime was new, black people thought he was innocent & probably thought it was a race issue but when the pieces start to unravel they figured he was guilty? because besides my professor (a former defense attorney) I've only heard that he got away with murder.
- Question Asker

  How old were you in 1989? In the actual year of 1989 most blacks "said" he was innocent. I don't believe they truly thought that.
- Answerer

  ok. this is news to me that black people think he's innocent. He's been the butt of so many jokes. I think I heard something once about him being frame and that was coming from my professor who's white. everybody else that I've heard said he's guilty but this is just what I've heard.
- Question Asker

Yes, all black people think he's guilty, just like how they all love fried chicken and watermelon, and are afraid of dogs and can't swim. How can you even post a question such as this one?

  What part of this question offends you? Are you implying that there are no more race problems? Are you denying that white people were sad and black people rejoiced when he was acquitted? We are discussing race and prejudice and the growth America has gone through in my sociology class.

the jury found him innocent. It's funny how everyone doesn't respond with "whew! we have one less murderer than we thought! I'm glad we didn't send an innocent guy to prison. That would have been such a barbaric act by we who consider ourselves the most civilized country in the world."

No matter what the media or your friends tell you, unless you were in the courtroom, you have no opinion - the thing that you have to say about the issue is called 'nonsense' or sometimes referred to is 'gibberish'.

  80 something % in 1989 of blacks said they thought he was innocent and now it is under 50% but I am not a believer in polls. If you could find a believable accurate poll feel free to link me.

  You are really that stupid? I just said our class is discussing the reactions of when the verdict was read off. Black people celebrated and white people were devastated. Do you want me to type what you want or lie? This is what we are discussing in sociology and we are also discussing the gap between the wealthy and poor and blacks and white. We talk of privilege and the poor. Did you want to come to my class and enlighten us with your anger and wisdom?

  "Do black people still think OJ Simpson was innocent of murder?". That is not the tittle of a discussion since you've implied two things. 1) That black people think OJ is innocent and 2) That you are already convinced that he is not innocent. That is not a discussion. This is a platform for you to try to force your opinion on anyone who disagrees with it.
- Question Asker
