CNN Analyst – OJ Simpson helped right the wrongs of slavery by killing white people
With Friday comes a new day. CNN’s coverage of O.J. Simpson gets a new start. But things didn’t get better. In fact, commentator Ashley Allison’s analysis makes matters worse.
Allison asserts that while OJ is clearly not a social justice warrior, he did Represent the black community. Why? Because his victims were white.
“I was jumping for joy, I was so happy. I don’t think I had any idea of who was guilty and who was not guilty,” she said, noting that she was only in eighth grade when OJ got off the bus.
“The reason this thing is racist is because of what happened to Rodney King and because of how black Americans view police.”
“OJ Simpson was not a leader of the civil rights movement of that era. You know, he was not a social justice leader,” Allison explained.
“But in that moment of that trial, he represented something for the black community, especially because two white people were killed,” she said. “And the history of how black people were persecuted during slavery. There are just so many layers.
