Moreover, you personally knew all of OJ's friends to say they were all white?

no that isnt what I am saying, Im saying OJ was status-seeking, class-hopping and marrying Nicole was the fastest way to do it. by the way, isnt it a fact that ghettos are mostly populated with minorities? And just what is the demographic of Beverly Hills by and large? I dont think it is racist to acknowledge the fact of demographics and poverty. There is a real correlation between incomes and ethnicity as Im sure you know. Dont try and make this into something it isnt either.
as for OJ's friends, no I didnt know all of them. I know he stayed friends with Al, who was black, and Im sure he had other black friends. but I maintain that OJ was making a definite choice to cross cultural lines in order to rise up the ladder of society.
