American dream

I spent a day watching this five-episode, 8-hour documentary on the weekend. From countless audio-visual materials, I saw a perfect carrier of the African-American dream from reaching the peak to falling into the abyss. As a dramatic link between mainstream white culture and the African-American civil rights movement, Simpson interprets the conflict between the two with his own American tragedy, as in "Green Book", "I am your worship before the piano. The master of art, I am just a Negro after stepping down." Simpson, who worked hard to wash away the black label, won the embrace of the entire white upper class, but when he was in trouble, he could only use black old irons who never cared about it. Escaping the punishment of the law, two huge forces fought against this delicate egoist, and finally twisted him into a person who he couldn't even face up to. The white bourgeois rulers hope to absorb other ethnic groups through the power of capital, and use interest stratification and cultural consensus to eliminate differences from skin color. However, the short historical experience of the United States shows that there is a lack of respect, mutual trust and win-win foundations, legal procedures Nor can conflict and contradiction be reduced with political correctness. Returning to us, whose national conditions are completely different, perhaps, the "Hua-Yi Discrimination" has become outdated, or perhaps, the "Hua-Yi Discrimination" cannot be out of date in the land of China.

O.J.: Made in America quotes

  • Marcia Clark - Interviewee: [on whether to have OJ Simpson try on the leather gloves that was recovered from the crime scene at Rockingham and Bundy] Chris says I want to do it and I told him in no uncertain terms why we should not be doing this, and he said if we don't do this: they will, then I said let them and we can show why it was a bullshit experiment why it was never going to work between the shrinkage and the latex, it's never going to fit in the same way, don't do this: it was the biggest fight Chris and I ever had.

  • Fred Goldman: [referring to OJ Simpson answering the questions asked to him during his deposition in the civil lawsuit] He'd lied about everything! There's not one honest bone in his body. He's lived a life of fraud and being a fake for God knows how many decades, to a point where I think he just believes his own bull.
