@yourltldogtoo usa likes to re-visit oj simpson because it's one place where we can talk race, sex, money, class, gender, justice with out saying the hot button words with out coming off offensive or defensive.
Those of the Muhammad Ali Era, never were on the front lines of career risk for any cause beyond writing a pay check or selling shoes. They like OJ are no different than White celebs and ball players - they sell tickets. OJ found it useful to exploit his race when he was in a jam for murder #1. It was not hard because he had on his side among the best legal teams and experts in the USA against a team with bigger pockets but weak legal minds.
We recall OJ but forget all of the White men that walk away from rape, murder and wrongful death with 3 months probation or a simple hand shake
