OJ was at the same table with a black friend at the wedding banquet, and the old white lady at the next table said, "Why did OJ sit with that group of niggas?" The black friend next to OJ said, "You must be sad to hear this, right?" OJ Probably the answer is: "OJ is OJ, you can't use black people to limit me."
Facts also show that OJ can live a prosperous life in the white world and is admired. He understands the thinking mode of the white world and is willing to take the initiative to approach the white people. He does not emphasize or hate his skin color, so the white world generally does not. Treat him as a racial opposite. Since the white world can accept or even love OJ, does it mean that the white people are not really opposed to the black skin color and the black group? What they are really fighting against may be radically different behaviors, radically different thinking, and cultural incompatibility. Past experience has also made me discover that many times it is not that the locals are unwilling to accept me, but that I first close myself and draw a clear line, so that outsiders do not have enough motivation to approach me, but I think that everyone is not enthusiastic enough.
It is also mentioned in the play that black people always say that "white police officers are inherently hostile to black people because of the high historical crime rate of black people", so they do not believe in white police groups. If they think that it is extremely unjust that the white police shoot the entire black group for the actions of individual blacks, then similarly, is the hatred of the blacks against the white police also shooting the entire group without bias because of a single case?
Similarly, some black people in the play show their incomprehension and unacceptance of homosexuality. The audience can say that this is their own right and wrong. But what is the essential difference between this and skin color discrimination? It's all about believing in what you want to believe in.
There is also an interview with a female black jury member. She was asked how she thought about Nicole's killing. Her answer even put the question entirely on Nicole. She said that Nicole did not understand the relationship as early as possible. The first time this kind of problem occurs, N should realize that things are not going to get better. This kind of remarks that put all the blame on the victim makes me question her logic. Later, when she was asked about her attitude towards the attorney of the District Attorney's Office, she put her thumbs down before speaking, and kept it for a while. At this moment, my feeling is only "So the jurors in that case are of this level. It turned out that the jurors mentioned in the previous situation" due to the long time of the case, the selection of high-quality jurors is very limited, which is very important. The extent to which it will affect the outcome of the trial 'is not groundless'.
At the end of the play, a lawyer's summary I think is very pertinent, and it also reflects my thoughts
Of course, these ideas are limited to the issues presented in this documentary. Outside the documentary, there must be a lot of realities that have not been considered.
