OJ ran longer because of the trial, but it wasn’t first. OJ wasn’t the black man’s plight, OJ was revenge for Rodney, Rodney was the black man’s plight, OJ was proof they actually could win once in a while.
I recall that poor bastard being dragged out of his truck and smacked with a brick. That could be a starter.
I was in Phoenix at the time. I’ll cede this one to you.
