Appalled by Johnnie Cochran
One person I really despised in this whole trial, even more than OJ, was Johnnie Cochran.
I know the kind of injustice and suffering black people had to go through on a regular basis back in that time was really heart breaking and sad. It was sickening to watch how human beings treated fellow humans with such humiliation because of the color of their skin. And that's why I can understand why most black people saw OJ's acquittal as a ray of hope against injustice and sign of things changing for better.
However, I am equally appalled by Johnnie Cochran who used the sufferings of ordinary black people to save a rich and privileged murderer who always distanced himself from the black community and never gave a s**t about civil rights abuse they go through. For me, Johnnie Cochran was just as much racist as Mark Fuhrman.
