O.J. Simpson passed away at the age of 76 years this past week.
He remained one of the most notorious figures in pop culture up to his death.
And the woke extremists’ take on O.J. Simpson’s acquittal will make your brain melt.
O.J. Simpson’s death spurred plenty of hot takes on his legacy.
His acquittal of double murder in 1995’s “Trial of the Century” became exceedingly polarizing as many cheered his supposed “victory” in court as a form of cosmic restorative justice.
“Payback”
Juror Carrie Bess admitted that the Simpson verdict was “payback” for the Rodney King verdict in which white officers were acquitted after beating King during a traffic stop.
What Democrat media allies did not tell Americans about the King incident was that he was intoxicated, led the police on a 100-mile-per-hour chase, resisted arrest for several minutes, and then attacked an officer before he was finally beaten and subdued.
Reporters had footage of the incident but only showed the public the beating in order to fuel outrage.
Righteous verdict?
Nevertheless, one of the worst takes after Simpson’s death belonged to woke talking head Marc Lamont Hill.
“O.J. Simpson was an abusive liar who abandoned his community long before he killed two people in cold blood,” he wrote on X. “His acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system. But he’s still a monster, not a martyr.”

So Hill admitted that he believed Simpson was guilty, but his acquittal was “correct and necessary.”
That is the woke religious cult in a nutshell.
Truth and reality do not matter – only the oppression hierarchy matters.
If someone is on the side of the “oppressed,” then they can do no wrong under any circumstances – even murder is apparently permitted.
Other woke extremists are quite explicit about this.
When pressed on his statement, Hill responded, “The police were caught lying. That produced reasonable doubt. How does that make ME racist?”
First, Hill did not argue that the verdict was understandable on procedural grounds – he said it was “correct and necessary.”
Second, Hill was likely referring to Mark Fuhrman, who lied about using racial epithets in the past – long before his involvement in the case – which allowed the defense to portray him as “racist,” thus implying he might have planted evidence to frame Simpson.
However, Fuhrman’s minority police colleagues vouched for his character.
To this day, the Simpson verdict illustrates just how radical, unhinged leftists have become.
They are willing to celebrate someone they believe to be a cold-blooded murderer of his children’s mother simply in order to stick it to “the system.”
Woke extremists like Marc Lamont Hill have completely lost the plot.
