Wait until juries here start refusing to convict any of the new master race

More like LAPD and their two detectives Vannatter & Fuhrman.

Hitchens is right about the performative tone of televised trials. On the racial divide, OJ's trial was in LA, not long after the Rodney King trial and ensuing riots. OJ's acquittal was met in Black America not with glee, but with grim satisfaction following King, and countless non-celebrity convictions of those "walking while black."

I was always amazed at, what seemed to me at least, the absence of outrage from non-Black America concerning the verdict from the Rodney King trial. Talking about the trial I do remember seeing some of it on television and thought that the attorney acting for the police defendants could have successfully argued that a sheet of white paper is actually black.

​@@YourLittleDeathNo, there was a lot of outrage among non blacks, just not as intense as black outrage. There is no way that the outrage could have been the same. But it was definitely there.

Peter we have a grandson who he’s done a two year Spanish and music course at Bristol? His scores are As so far! He is trying to get a PLACEMENT in Spain to get his degree. Apparently he can’t get a chance to do it as we are not in the EU any comments?

After the trial a group of British detectives [maybe ex detectives] did a TV programme, where they went through the case. They concluded that if it were in the UK the case would not have been brought for lack of evidence. They then conjectured that OJ's son did it, and OJ was protecting his son. Very interesting programme.

@@Hidalgoes Yes, I think you are correct. I just googled it. "OJ Simpson: The Untold Story Full Documentary". I read the written description under the main screen. I think that was it.

Curiously, the end result of the UK having an empire and then the commonwealth is that we are not a racist country, or racially divided, and we are culturally sensitive. However, recently the bellicose and insensitive attitude of some immigrants is starting to provoke the indigenous population.

I rarely agree with the lesser Hitch but his comments on modern segregation rings true in my own experience. We live in Maryland, where we STILL have pre Brown v Board of Education level segregation in the school environment, even Florida was more diverse in school population. Wealth disparity is greater than any wall ever built. It is a tragedy.

Define sacred and prove that it is beyond because you say so

For once, I disagree with Peter. The Simpson jury certainly delivered a political verdict and knowingly freed a guilty man, but I'm not convinced it was a purely racial verdict. There can be no question whatever that Simpson was framed. The problem was that he was also guilty, which means that whichever way the jury went, it would be the wrong way. People often fail to understand how appallingly badly trained American police officers are compared to other advanced industrial countries. Without that foundational training, it means that, contrary to what we see on TV cop shows, they actually get WORSE with age and experience. As hard as it was, the jury actually made the right decision for the protection of citizens going forward .
