In 1995 many African-Americans saw OJ Simpson as an innocent man persecuted because of the colour of his skin.

I don't believe it. Blacks thought he was just as guilty as whites did. However, the majority of blacks appeared to take more joy in the perception of sticking it to whitey, than in doling out justice.

And the fact is, before the first trial, OJ was the "whitest black man" in America. He was the toast of White America.

I was at a gym when the OJ jury nullification "verdict" was televised 13 years ago.

I was one of the few white people at the gym. The crowd around the TVs above was huge. They were cheering, screaming, jumping up and down, and pumping their fists when the not guilties were being read.

Black women next to me were shouting obscenities and making unbelievable evil comments about Nicole, Ron Goldman, and Caucasians.

It is something I will never forget.
