Did you see the pictures in the 4th episode or watched the blurred version?
Back in the day black people really believed he was framed, but now it has changed dramatically. Can't find the articles with the percentages atm ...
What picture are you talking about? The N-word was blurred throughout the series IIRC.

I'm sure that back in the day they thought he was framed. But the biggest reason for blacks to celebrate when he was found not guilty was much more than that. I'm talking about the race issue. It was payback.
Another thing that this documentary opened my eyes for was the racism in the US. I wasn't as ignorant about this subject as I was of OJ's life, but it still shocked me what a rasist society the US were, down to the core. And it's not so fucking long ago!!
Edit:
Another thing that I reflected on was what an event like this does to a population.
When bad things happen in a society, I usually tend to believe that in the end, it will bring people closer. Going through hardship together creates a bond and makes people talk to each other. I honestly don't know if this event was for the better regarding race relations in the US.
