It seems that in this age of Trump it’s all about race-baiting. I saw OJ as an athlete and celebrity not a ‘black guy.’ And he was a wise man not to see himself as a ‘race’ but as an talented individual.
It’s interesting in contrast to today where everyone seems to want to be subdivided into a group. Or we are forced into that by WaPo and the media talking about ‘white people,’ LGBT, etc. etc.
I blame some of that on Obama who relished being called ‘Black’ and didn’t hesitate to infuse himself into race politics. It has had a polarizing effect on this country.
Hey, thank you for the amazing post! I might add a link to this article on my website.
