Maybe later in his career but not from what i saw in part one i cant really hate on his choices when he was young.
I agree with the bold. But at the sametime they stood up as proud black men and spoke out loudly against how black people were treated. OJ didn't even want to be considered black. That is a big ass difference and this was when he was young. OJ was definitely a sellout. No way around that IMO.
Did you hear the part where the white dude told the story of how the white said "look at OJ over there with all those niggers." Then he said how OJ was happy how she didn't consider him one of "them"
I dont trust white people when it come to hindsight with black people,and always want to beat them down when they are pretty much defenseless , they always act like they knew something and always talk shit.
And that white dude clearly does not give a shit about black people and OJ, coz if he did and knew he was on TV he would have been PC about saying "N Word" ON tv and not "nigger" and be censored , i know it might be nitpicking but i didnt like that shit at all.
And im saying look at it from another "P.O.V", there are alot of athletes who just aint cut from the cloth of being political and OJ at the height of all the black power movement was in College B, all these other dudes were professional older athletes , i really wouldnt expect OJ to be very vocal about civil right coz he has more to lose than all them dudes who had already somewhat made it, and why are they just picked on OJ seems unfair coz you had other Black Athletes/Celebrities that cameout of that era that said nothing or towed the line when it came to saying the PC things about civil rights.If OJ had lost his scholarship or not been drafted for being vocal on Black Rights how many of these dudes would've feed or took care his wife and young family if we a being real about it,
.... and im pretty sure he was aware of his blackness he was in ROOTS after all lol.
There is a difference between not saying anything and doing things to separate yourself from black people to gain white acceptance. I don't feel any athlete has to be political because we agree everybody is not built for that. Even though I don't like it I can see guys just being quiet about the issue as well. What I can't get with is the approach OJ took to which was to be a sell out.
We have to be honest OJ was brainwashed just like a lot people. He thought "white was everything right" and he did just about anything to be accepted into that circle.
I'll address the bold in 2 parts. First off OJ wasn't going to lose his scholarship he was too valuable to the school for that. Somethings in life you can't place a monetary value on and self-respect and pride is one of them. Those same athletes actually helped pay some of Ali's bills when he refused to go into the Army and the government wouldn't let him box to make money. So there is a precedent set for other black athletes to look out for their own who have been wronged for speaking out in favor of black peoples rights.

He was a kid in college at the time Bro , i do not expect that from anyone that young, the people they were comparing him were already professional sporting veterans, how yall gonna have this much civil right expectation on a kid.
and it aint like he was going around disparaging Black Folks , he still had his black friends and Black wife, he aint conk his hair , he wast acting coonish in public , so coz he aint pledge loyalty to the Black Power Movement he a sellout ?
thats too harsh (and this is just talmbout the earlier years in his life)

Burying his head in the sand is what he did that was so egregious. This a direct quote from OJ regarding him and the protest of the '68 Olympics “I’m not black, I’m O.J.,” WTF come man that dude was fucked up when it came to black people when was young and when he was older.
