    Dr. Dyson shook Will today, Will could barely object because Dyson was answering in simple intelligent terms instead of yelling his point like SAS

      Dyson was rattled which is why he rebutted by saying that since some white people got away with murder then it's ok for oj to

      Will Cain actually asks very good questions, he doesn't worship at the altar of Dr Dyson but simply does what any good academic should do which is query and explore. You then end up with a conversation rather than a sermon which is what I am intrested in.

    People are fascinated with OJ for one big reason alone. He was in the minds of most White Americans a guilty man who was correctly found to be "not guilty" by a wise Jury who followed the evidence and their Instructions. He was guilty because he was a wife beater and who threatened to kill his wife and get away with it. He was not guilty because the reasonable doubts on every facts concerning his alleged guilty act were not eliminated by the Prosecution. He appears to have a guilty mind but the Prosecution could not prove his guilty act beyond reasonable doubt as required by the criminal law. These White Americans are suffering from COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.

He was rich enough to afford a dream team of lawyers and 3. He benefited from the perfect timing of the racial discrimination blk folks recv from the LAPD...if I was on trial back then we all know where my black ass would be right now

    The conversation was about OJ's upcoming release
    Will Cain just couldn't give it no peace
    He did his best, while being polite
    But mainly came off as your typical white
    He was so concerned about OJ being acquitted of the two murders
    And now getting a parole with only 9 years severed
    Its just the kind of thing that leaves one un-nerved
    Then Micheal Eric Dyson came on the show
    And had to school our boy Will, who seemed awfully slow
    He gave a nice pitch but you could just feel his hate
    And Micheal Eric Dyson wasn't going to let him skate
    And after so eloquently 'dropping knowledge on our boy Will
    There was nothing for Will to do but be perfectly still
    For once he had met someone who didn't have a RTIQ(Room Temperature IQ)
    Consequently, he was left sh*tless and didn't know what to do.
    The interviewed ended very soon after that
    With Will Cain being definitely given his hat.
    Hey Will, in the future, please remember
    Never try to be Nickle Slick with people who are Quarter Smart
    You will only get a bad case of indigestion and a broken heart.

    That's an interesting take. I've felt that OJ was a terrible symbol for black struggles with law enforcement because he was actually guilty. Like pick someone who's actually innocent and rally behind that person. But it's interesting to hear someone make the argument that he was actually a great symbol because he got away with it, just like many cops have gotten away with murdering and mistreating blacks. Essentially it forced rest of America walk in our shoes. Really interesting.. but I still think it's disgusting for anyone to argue that what he did was somehow justifiable.

    On Judgement Day we will all have to answer to God.(Including O.J) I can understand if you don't want to be around him or him around you when he gets out. Hopefully he will stay low (somewhat invisible) and stay to himself. But the media really depresses me when they continue to bring him up in coverage. Trump is enough depression! This Black/White thing is "old also." But The Lord stated that this will happen. I am glad that I know and can trust in Him!

    Why Are People So Fascinated With O.J. Simpson? Because people don't like it when murders go unpunished.
