The verdict is what first awakened me to how racially divided this country was.
Every African American friend/acquaintance that I knew felt that OJ was innocent and vindicated. Although one friend even said that if he did do it, the b!tch deserved it anyway, and he figured that any white celebrity would have gotten away with it.
Every white American that I knew, felt that OJ was guilty as hell, and got away with murder. I know I would have convicted him, regardless of race.

He was worth every cent (reportedly somewhere between $3 million & $6 million) that OJ paid for him.
