      That’s been the media narrative for years & years, they always tie in some cop dragging OJ Simpson off & calling him a n-gger. Then it was like a switch was flipped & everyone was like, you know what…we’re done even reporting this… let’s call it the n-word.

      Here, I promise, I am randomly pulling an example. 8:01 AM my time. By 8:02, I found this 2nd result, How OJ Simpson created the n-word. No, I am not researching this further, in the same way that I’m not popping my head outside to confirm the sky is blue. I pass the torch…to you. I found it in 1 minute by searching “OJ Simpson n-word”. Over 20 years, I have casually seen this connection cited dozens of times.

      Also in my own defense, I was posting this at 3 AM & clearly no one’s on my wavelength. So I went to bed. It’s now 8 AM & I’m going to work. OJ Simpson n-word. Have fun. 👍👍👍👍

        I’ve never seen mainstream media pushing that narrative. It should be a huge red flag to you if the only source you can find that supports your belief is on social media (yes, YouTube is social media).
