The black people who cheered when he was found Not Guilty are beyond foolish. It's like they think it's payback to whitey for all the times black people have been unfairly charged, prosecuted, and incarcerated. They couldn't be more wrong. In fact, they just played into the whole bias that favors the rich and famous. Had OJ been a janitor or even a no-name accountant he would be in prison now. His acquittal may have been a victory for the rich and famous, but that's it and it has never served to benefit black people. Do these people honestly believe that your average black man or woman will have more fair treatment because OJ got off? Besides, when is the last time anyone saw OJ with a black woman? All these black women who were cheering for him must not have stopped to realize that he wouldn't touch any of them with a 10 foot pole. Once he got wealthy and famous he was all about being part of the country club set and dating nothing but white chicks.
