#antebellumfilmschool: Special Episode - The American tale of OJ Simpson
And it marked the first time in media history that the word was censored in a way to allow for someone to be able to cover an incident and address that word without necessarily using that word. That was the importance of the OJ Simpson trial. It is the filthiest, dirtiest, nastiest word in the english language. It will upset the black jurors. It'll issue a test, it'll give them a test. And the test will be, whose side are you on?

But black people, you know, wanted him to be exonerated because they felt like the police were just profiling another black person. Now, his wealth also played a part, I believe, in his exoneration, because he had the dream team, right? So the dream team did everything they could, including lying, to get him off of this particular case. I don't believe it was enough evidence that was presented in the case by the prosecution to tie him into this particular crime

She didn't even notice when she hired him. This guy was a serial killer. He had killed several people. And when he was arrested, he said, and he also admitted to killing Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson. But this was, they never took him serious. And I don't know why he, they believed him on all the other emergencies that he did, but they didn't believe him on this one, and I have no idea why

I didn't mean murdering Rodney King, because they didn't murder Rodney King, but they beat him senselessly, as we all saw in the video. So I didn't mean murdering Rodney King, okay? But this is how dirty they were. And this is the reason why Denzel Washington won the Academy Award, because they were talking about a real police for a real police force and what they did throughout the LA, throughout LA period, in those times
