Apr 11

It was an ethnically diverse environment and everyone got along for the most part. (I'm talking some 50,000 workers over a 250-acre plant site.)

After the not guilty verdict came down, the racial divisions became stark and lasted years afterward. All whites were universally enraged, and all blacks were defiant. Some whites started occasionally using the N-word openly. The division was like the parting of the Red Sea.

OJ caused so much shit. I, for one, won't miss him.
