Simpson died on Thursday at the age of 76, and the media didn\u2019t quite know what to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They didn\u2019t know what to do because O.J. Simpson was a murderer, and everyone knows he was a murderer. But he spent the last half of his life being treated by some in the media as though he was a sort of controversial figure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A headline from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/podcasts\/post-reports\/how-will-oj-simpson-be-remembered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Washington Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  summed this up: \u201cHow will O.J. Simpson be remembered?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The answer for everyone who remembers the O.J. Simpson murder trial is that he will be remembered as a person who very obviously murdered his ex-wife and a person named Ron Goldman, and then proceeded to be alleviated of the criminal responsibility for that double murder by a jury of people who were politically motivated, to the celebration of a wide swath of the American population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He\u2019ll be remembered as a person who dramatically widened the gap between the races in the United States, which, in some ways, has never truly closed. It seemed as though that between the trial of O.J. Simpson and the election of Barack Obama, America was becoming more racially reconciliatory. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Barack Obama opened those gaps wide again in 2010, 2011, and 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1946-oj-simpson-killed-by-cancer-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The O.J. Simpson trial was the moment when Americans realized that the attempts of the 1960s and 1970s to move beyond America\u2019s terrible history of racism had some pretty impactful consequences, and that there were two sides to the racial conflict in the United States because up until the Civil Rights movement, there really was only one side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That side had been American white supremacists treating black people as chattel and as trash. After the Civil Rights movement, the idea was that we would put all of that behind us. We were going to move forward in a country that tries to actually meet the guarantees of the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But then, in the O.J. Simpson trial, it became very clear to a lot of Americans that the standard of equal justice for all was not only a matter of if that could be reached, but it was also a matter of if everyone <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">wanted <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">that standard to be reached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s what the O.J. Simpson trial meant for a lot of people. And that\u2019s why he will be remembered as a double murderer who got away with it for racial political reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simpson left the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown in his wake. Not just that; he still owed more than $100 million to their families because they won civil trials against him after losing the criminal trial in favor of convicting him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The evidence against O.J. was overwhelming. Everyone knew he was guilty. No one legitimately believed he was innocent. It was just a question of whether you wanted to see him acquitted because of racial reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Those racial reasons were explained at the time and are being explained even now by people who believe that somehow, some sort of revenge was deserved for America\u2019s terrible racial history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After he killed two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-choice-to-lead-dojs-civil-rights-division-melanin-endows-blacks-with-greater-mental-physical-and-spiritual-abilities-video\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Choice to Lead DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division: \u201cMelanin Endows Blacks with Greater Mental, Physical and Spiritual Abilities\u201d (VIDEO)\">white people<\/a>, suddenly his cause became a \u201cracial cause.\u201d And that racial logic has kept up even until today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marc Lamont Hill, a true believer in the perverse ideology of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">critical race theory<\/a>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marclamonthill\/status\/1778461905268412472\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">tweeted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  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\">So he acknowledges O.J. Simpson murdered two people in cold blood and was a monster, but he still deserved to be acquitted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No country obviously can survive for very long on the basis that, as long as you are a member of a particular race, you deserve to be acquitted for murdering somebody else of another race in that sort of pure, unbridled hatred and racism. It wrecks societies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The more faith you show in the political narrative, the more you\u2019re willing to pick a bad example and say even it applies to your narrative. And O.J. is the worst example of all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the time of the trial, some black people and white people responded incredibly differently to the verdict.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even today, there are people who are trying to make excuses for why O.J. was acquitted because the real question is not really why O.J. did what he did. He was a sociopathic murderer who murdered two people in cold blood. The real question is why the legal system did what it did and why Americans reacted the way they did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">O.J. Simpson died a free man. The idea that there is some underlying question of justice with regard to O.J. Simpson that would have allowed for the moral imprimatur to be placed upon his acquittal is morally unrighteous foolishness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">O.J. Simpson was a double murderer. He should have gone to jail. And if you believe that questions of race should take precedence over questions of actual blood guilt, that makes you a bad person. That is not how justice works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When social justice, which is what this is, trumps individual justice, when the idea is that a racial narrative \u2014 a true racial narrative about black victimhood in America \u2014\u00a0 is supposed to trump the fact that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/family-of-mike-brown-ferguson-protest-organizers-demand-20-million-from-black-lives-matter\/\" title=\"Family Of Mike Brown, Ferguson Protest Organizers Demand  Million From Black Lives Matter\">black man killed<\/a> two white people, you have lost the thread of decency and morality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Justice cannot work under these circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>O.J.
