Simpson trial in 1995 drew\u200d contrasting \u2062reactions nationwide, from a \u2062spectacle to a deeper \u200bnarrative tied to racial tensions and revenge. It sparked debates\u200d on the acceptance\u200d of violence against white individuals for political retribution, underlining systemic issues\u200d within\u2064 the \u2064legal system. Recent\u200d acknowledgments \u2063post-O.J.&#8217;s demise shed light on\u2063 race\u200b dynamics and media portrayals \u200dof criminal acts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 1995, there were two very different versions of the O.J. Simpson trial playing out. For most of the country, the trial was a spectacle. A lot of crazy stuff happened \u2014 so much that most people don\u2019t remember all of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overnight, for example, the National Enquirer tabloid <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1994\/10\/24\/us\/the-enquirer-required-reading-in-simpson-case.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">morphed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  into a crack legal publication that broke several exclusive stories about the proceedings. They had 20 reporters working on the case, coming up with transcripts and scoops that everyone else missed. And of course, Norm Macdonald made so many jokes about the case that he was fired from SNL because of it. In the decades since, there hasn\u2019t been any trial remotely like it \u2014 covered wall-to-wall, for months, by pretty much every channel in America. It was entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the same time, in black areas of Los Angeles, and in major cities all over the country, the O.J. Simpson trial wasn\u2019t just a spectacle. It was also about revenge for the Rodney King acquittals and police corruption more generally. That\u2019s been discussed quite a bit over the last 30 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s gotten less attention is that, with the O.J. trial, for the first time, it became widely acceptable to think about the deaths of white people as necessary collateral damage to exact this kind of political revenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was no social media at the time, and cable news was pretty sanitized. So no one with a major television platform came right out and directly said this. But they didn\u2019t need to. It was obvious, especially if you looked at how little concern there was among O.J. supporters for Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman and their families.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1346-the-matt-walsh-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nicole Brown, as you might remember, was repeatedly beaten by O.J. before she divorced him. And then he hunted her down and nearly cut her head off. Everyone knew this, but not everyone cared. It was apparent from the reactions when O.J. was acquitted. It was euphoria, and it broke down along racial lines. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s pretty disturbing footage, especially since at the time it didn\u2019t cause a lot of outrage. Thousands of people all over the country, most of them black, celebrated the acquittal of someone who obviously just murdered two people. At the time, serious people understood that this was jury nullification. But no one really explored the implications. What does a country look like, over the long term, when murdering white people is seen as acceptable, for any reason? What happens when the media and major political figures endorse this barbarism?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No one seemed to care, even after a juror from the O.J. trial came right out and admitted, many years after the fact, that 90% of the jurors knew that O.J. was guilty. But the jurors acquitted him anyway, because they were driven by a desire for \u201cpayback.\u201d Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She knows it\u2019s wrong to let a killer go free, but she did it anyway. So did the rest of the jury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This has all been known for a while now. What\u2019s less widely known is that the Los Angeles DA at the time, a Democrat named Gil Garcetti, engineered this acquittal. An attorney named Dilan Esper has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/dilanesper\/status\/1297642386340712448\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cataloged<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  all the ways that Garcetti rigged the trial in favor of O.J. The big one is that he didn\u2019t try the case in Brentwood, which is in West Los Angeles. That would have been the logical place to hold the trial because Simpson had lived in Brentwood for two decades. But Brentwood is almost exclusively white. And Garcetti recognized that, for O.J. to have the best chance of acquittal, given the racial politics of the case, he needed to pick a new venue. So he chose downtown Los Angeles \u2014 where he was able to secure an overwhelmingly black jury with just a couple of white people on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Garcetti made several other decisions to swing the case for O.J. For example, he declined to pursue the death penalty after publicly meeting with Johnnie Cochran \u2014 who was just about to join O.J.\u2019s defense team. That was a significant decision because a death penalty jury has to answer \u201cyes\u201d to the question of whether they\u2019d be OK with sentencing someone to death. That weeds out a lot of Left-wing jurors immediately. So Garcetti chose not to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, Garcetti chose to present the prosecution\u2019s entire case during pretrial hearings, giving the defense a chance to scope out all of the witnesses well in advance of trial. As Esper points out, this ultimately worked to the defense\u2019s advantage in a major way. O.J.\u2019s lawyers picked up on one inconsistency in the pretrial testimony \u2014 relating to the amount of blood collected by police investigators \u2014 and made it a major part of their defense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These were not errors, or sloppy work by the prosecutors. These were intentional efforts by Garcetti to avoid convicting O.J. Simpson, which would have ended his political career. Pretty much every black voter in Los Angeles would have voted to remove Garcetti if O.J. was found guilty. Indeed, even after O.J. Simpson was found not guilty, Garcetti refused to prosecute him for perjury in the civil trial, even though it was clear O.J. Simpson lied several times. That\u2019s how committed Garcetti was to keeping O.J. Simpson out of jail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Again, anyone paying attention during this whole saga understood everything that was going on at the time. This is not new information. What is new is that, now that O.J. Simpson is dead \u2014 he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/o-j-simpson-dead-at-76-following-battle-with-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">died yesterday<\/a> of cancer \u2014\u00a0 mainstream news outlets are just coming right out and admitting it. They\u2019re acknowledging that O.J. Simpson was guilty, but that he simply couldn\u2019t be convicted because of race politics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here for example is a CNN journalist explaining on-camera yesterday that in 1995, a lot of black people loved to see a black man get away with murdering two white people. She catches herself mid-way through, but it\u2019s clear what she\u2019s saying. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019d have a much better understanding of today\u2019s race politics, and how to put an end to it, if we could have admitted this back in 1995. A lot of people wanted to see a black man get away with murder. The two white people were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/woman-who-claims-shes-jack-nicholsons-daughter-speaks-out-on-being-shunned-by-hollywood-star\/\" title=\"Woman Who Claims She\u2019s Jack Nicholson\u2019s Daughter Speaks Out On Being Shunned By Hollywood Star\">simply collateral damage<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A professor named Marc Lamont Hill spelled this out <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/marclamonthill\/status\/1778461905268412472\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">very clearly<\/a> yesterday:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">O.J. Simpson was an abusive liar who abandoned his community long before he killed two people in cold blood. His acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/los-angeles-d-a-gascon-launches-campaign-to-stop-right-wing-recall-attempt-from-trump-mega-donors\/\" title=\"Los Angeles D.A. Gasc\u00f3n Launches Campaign To Stop \u2018Right-Wing Recall Attempt\u2019 From \u2018Trump Mega-Donors\u2019\">racist criminal legal system<\/a>. But he\u2019s still a monster, not a martyr.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In other words, you can kill white people without penalty. As long as the criminal legal system is racist \u2014 and people like Marc Lamont Hill believe it\u2019s irredeemably, irreparably racist forever \u2014 then it\u2019s fine to basically decapitate white people. That\u2019s according to someone who collects a paycheck paid by the government of New York to teach the next generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yesterday, Hill elaborated on his reasoning, essentially saying that O.J. had every right to kill his victims because a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/brooklyn-center-city-manager-fired-after-calling-for-due-process-in-duane-wright-shooting\/\" title=\"Brooklyn Center City Manager Fired After Calling For Due Process In Duane Wright Shooting\">police officer involved<\/a> in the case used a racial slur at some point in the past. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll notice there\u2019s no regard whatsoever in Marc Lamont Hill\u2019s mind for the two victims. Their families aren\u2019t entitled to justice, all because a detective on their murder case used a racial slur. If you use the n-word, then any white person who\u2019s tangentially related to you deserves to die. That\u2019s basically what he\u2019s saying. A lot of people thought this in 1995, but they didn\u2019t say it in public. That\u2019s changing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The reason several mainstream outlets spent yesterday eulogizing O.J. Simpson as some kind of victim is that they approve of what he did. There\u2019s no other way to spin it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times, for example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EndWokeness\/status\/1778446276440264921\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">wrote<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  that quote, \u201cA jury in the murder trial \u2026. cleared Mr. Simpson, but the case ruined his world.\u201d They quickly edited that out of the piece when people pointed out that he stabbed two people to death and therefore \u201cruined\u201d their worlds, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For its part, NPR wrote the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/o-j-simpson-coverage-york-230410329.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">headline<\/a> on something called \u201cThreads:\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  \u201cBREAKING NEWS: The football great Orenthal James Simpson, known as O.J., has died.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Associated Press, meanwhile, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AP\/status\/1778583977718165987\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tweeted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: \u201cLegendary athlete, actor and millionaire: O.J. Simpson\u2019s murder trial lost him the American dream.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Those are all real headlines. Everyone knows exactly what\u2019s going on here. The only way to get glowing headlines like this from the corporate media is if you kill people they don\u2019t like. It\u2019s the same reason The Washington Post <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-50205592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">described<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  that ISIS leader as an \u201caustere religious scholar.\u201d O.J. Simpson killed members of a disfavored demographic, so they\u2019re mourning him as a victim, not the people he killed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This kind of attitude was everywhere yesterday. There was no focus on the victims whatsoever. CBS News interviewed one of O.J.\u2019s lawyers from the 1995 trial, named Carl Douglas. In the interview, he comes out and declares what he saw as a main benefit of the trial. Again, it had nothing to do with justice or finding the truth or the \u201creal killers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Instead, it was about showing to the world that black lawyers can get defendants off, too. Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAnd whatever you think of this verdict, for Black Americans, it was not speaking about O.J. Simpson per se.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That about sums it up, straight from one of O.J.\u2019s lawyers. The O.J. trial was not about O.J. Simpson. The trial was arguably the beginning, or at least a landmark moment on the way towards, our current era of racial insanity. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/knowles-white-people-cant-be-any-less-white\/\" title=\"KNOWLES: White People Can\u2019t Be Any \u201cLess White\u201d\">race hustlers<\/a> of the time rallied around O.J. not because they thought he was innocent but because they saw him as an agent of revenge. And Democratic Party elites in Los Angeles like Gil Garcetti did everything they could to ensure O.J.\u2019s acquittal so that he could serve that function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But nobody was more explicit than CNN contributor Ashely Allison, a former senior advisor in the Obama White House. Listen to what she chose to say out loud on national television yesterday:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe represented something for black Americans because it was two white people who\u2019d been killed.\u201d That\u2019s what black Americans connected with, according to this woman. They felt affinity with O.J. because he brutally slaughtered white people. Talk about saying the quiet part out loud. Although, as we\u2019ve seen, it\u2019s hardly the quiet part anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This mentality has metastasized over time, helped along by Barack Obama, leading to the rise of BLM, and culminating in Floyd and the 2020 riots, and then the post-Floyd era of DEI. Now, 30 years later, so-called \u201crace relations\u201d have deteriorated to the point that the race hustlers finally feel comfortable coming out and telling us what their motives were all along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, O.J. Simpson is dead. But the legacy of that trial, particularly the racial violence and distrust that it normalized, is still very much alive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1995, contrasting narratives of the O.J.
