Unrepentant Killer, Charming, Cold-Blooded Player of the Race Card. Some final thoughts on the life and death of the acquitted serial wife beater, gone last week of prostate cancer at age 76. “Even videotape of the murders would not have been enough to convict the popular football and Teflon media hero, O.J. Simpson.” Despite my rule never to speak ill of the dead, I tweeted that to some criticism. Those critics are in denial. They don’t consider how profound the impact of our nation’s racial chasm. As long-prepared obituaries are published and broadcast, don’t get suckered and distracted by the legend of "The Juice" who ran 2000 yards in the snow in Buffalo, dashing across Americana from golf courses to Naked Gun movies and Hertz rental car commercials, with emphasis on charm and affability. He was a domestic terrorist. Never forget how he beat his wife from at least 1989-1994. Here is Nicole in one of her October 1993, 911 calls. “He’s O.J. Simpson, I think you know his record…” “You’re going to hear him in a minute…I don’t want to stay on the line. He’s going to beat the shit out of me.” Nicole pleads, "...OJ OJ OJ OJ could you please just leave?" SIMPSON: "I don't give a shit anymore...I'm leaving with my two fucking fists is when I'm leaving..." But the shocking 911 call didn’t matter. The photos of Nicole’s beaten and battered face, the other calls didn't matter. None of the evidence, none of it mattered to the almost All-Black jury who had just lived through the acquittal of four white cops in the Rodney King police beating. They weren’t listening white cops. They knew white cops lie. Their deliberation after 11 months of testimony was about 4 hours. 1000’s of hours of testimony over 11 months, 4 hours of deliberation. This was race-based payback. Remember the vivid live shots as his acquittals were broadcast, live and unedited. That is history’s verdict. The evidence is irrefutable. Whites, shocked and dismayed. Blacks, joyful and exultant. The crowd reaction echoing from coast-to-coast, from college campus to talk show sets, to street corners, town squares even to prisons, unrepentant, undeniable and unanimously race-based. To say their reaction was racial is to summarize the obvious. It was a reaction to the Rodney King police beating and the white cops’ subsequent acquittals, it was the sum of all the police beatings, insults, slights, abuse and discrimination from 1619 to present. This was reparation. Undeniable, and unanimously racial. Simpson and his Dream Team understood America’s racial divide and the Juice sliced right through it.
