And when OJ was acquitted, we were basically expected to drop the subject and stop bringing up all of the inconsistencies in the case. Funny how Blacks can freely question the acquittal of someone not even White on alleged racial grounds, but the moment a White man questions the OJ verdict, "Das jus Rayciss, niggaaaaaaaa". It's almost like there's a double standard!
Fact remains, where people had doubts about the OJ case, and much was made about the inconsistencies of the case, they haven't even bothered to present any kind of counterargument to Zimmerman's acquittal aside from personal attacks. Apples and oranges.

It's not like there's a double standard. There is a double standard. Society is fragmented into different sects and none of them can be criticized except for straight white men and the larger macro-sect of white.
Enough white idiots help facilitate this behavior though. For instance look at the debacle over the Washington redskins name. I don't think I saw any native American protests, just stupid fucking white people who drank the PC kool-aid
