After a Press conference on September 30th, 2016 with Ava DuVernay, director of the film the 13th, a reporter Esther Zuckerman, a known expressive liberal, stated (talking about Ava DuVernay), "She’s evidently anti-Trump." The 13th is produced by Howard Barish and Spencer Averick. Howard Barish is also the founder and president of Kandoo films, a movie production company. In 2016, Kandoo Film Production Company had a big hit, the movie O.J.: Made in America. On June 11th, 2016, an article came about titled O.J.: Made in America’: What ESPN’s New O.J. Simpson Documentary Forgot. The title of the article speaks for itself in saying that this is a report of what the documentary left out in attempt to persuade you to think of O.J. Simpson was innocent in the murder or his wife and that it was a racist cop set up. That the cops set him up because he was becoming too powerful of a black man. It left out an important piece that is in most all other O.J. films. A juror after the case told a reporter that he picked innocent for the sole reason of it was “Pay back for Rodney King." So it is known that the producer Howard Barish and director Ava DuVernay can be considered extremely racially biased against whites as shown …show more content…
John Bingham, who wrote majority of the equal protection clause, said that he wanted the constitution to provide the same right for blacks to “full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property.” That did not happen, it didn’t happen because of the same reason that segregated schools for blacks were in poor conditions.

    The most televised trial in recorded history was a murder trial where a famous NFL football player was accused of murder. The O.J. Simpson murder trial was controversial because of numerous reasons. He pled not guilty to the murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The evidence and the time leading up to his arrest would make anyone believe that he was guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt, but the jury in 1995 found him not guilty. I believe that there is overwhelming evidence against O.J. Simpson, and he should have been found guilty for two murders.…

Even though there was no proof of racial motivation, George Zimmerman was eventually charged with murder. After Trayvon’s death, there was a massive increase in publicized African-American deaths due to law enforcement “protocol” or rather the failure to follow it…

    White people are automatically protected and given the benefit of the doubt when confronted by the police by having white privilege. White privilege works in our world in many ways; it provides white people with many advantages and immunity to challenges people of color face. The protection of whiteness shapes the world we live in and is not easily deconstructed in any system. For example, a person of color, especially a black person, is not guaranteed the same treatment by cops that are given to white people. In Philando Castile’s case, he did everything the officer asked of him.…

    My first official memory of New York would be taking place in the Bronx, summer of 2003. I was five years old sitting outside on the steps of our apartment building in the Grand Concourse, which is known as “The Project Village”. You could hear the Spanish music that blasted from the other apartment windows, and see the smaller kids like me getting ready to have relay races and actually enjoy the sun, and my favorite which was seeing the coquito man come up the hill with his truck. A coquito in english is simply an icee, and during the summer for one dollar it was a gift sent from above. I was actually running down the hill to meet the coquito man, who we called Papa Juan, and I was stopped by a police officer.…

    The court decision to acquit former NFL star O.J. Simpson of murder will forever be regarded as an example of how the we as Americans must trust the process of the legal system that we abide by. Guilt or innocence in the commission of a crime must be proved without a reasonable doubt, no matter the circumstances or evidence. Despite the extravagant evidence that implicated O.J. Simpson to the murder, the prosecution failed to establish in the minds of the jury that he committed the crime. The defense was able to shift the focus off the damaging evidence of the crime, and more towards the acquisition of that evidence, the ill-treatment of the crime scene, and the history of the Los Angeles Police Department in regards to treatment of minority groups. It can be said that the celebrity status of this case greatly influenced the verdict, as well as the circumstances that led up to that decision.…
