A CNN contributor sparked outrage on Thursday after saying that OJ Simpson “represented something for the black community … particularly because there were two white people who had been killed.”
Ashley Allison made the comment during the network’s coverage of the death of the 76-year-old Simpson, the disgraced NFL legend who was acquitted in 1995 of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.
Allison was weighing in on the racial tensions that pervaded the country during the Simpson trial and its aftermath.
“He wasn’t a social justice leader, but he represented something for the black community in that moment, in that trial, particularly because there were two white people who had been killed. And the history around how black people have been persecuted during slavery,” Allison bizarrely claimed.
“There was racial tension then. There is racial tension now,” she continued.
Then, in another wild twist, she even threw former President Donald Trump’s name in there.
“It might not be the backdrop of the Trump campaign… but until this country is ready to actually have an honest conversation about the racial dynamics from our origin story until today, we will always have moments like O.J. Simpson that manifests and our country will always be divided if we don’t actually deal with the issue of race,” she concluded.

Allison is being lambasted on social media for her comments.
Prominent X user @Travis_in_Flint wrote, “Imagine if I went on Fox News and said this about black people. I’d be cancelled so fast.”
“You’d be in a gulag by now,” replied @WesternLensman, who posted the video.

David Webber wrote, “I appreciate our world is comprised of people with differing opinions. This CNN contributor is a sociopath.”
@StudioYMW wrote, “I’m willing to have the conversation that goes all the way back to the tribal leaders in Africa that sold the unwanted of their tribes to Dutch tradesmen. Let’s face that reality, because it’s FACT and not scrubbed like everything woke wants you to believe.”
Kate Austin wrote, “According to this @CNN idiot killing white people is a good thing! The people constantly lecturing us about race are truly the ones who need to have long look in the mirror! Disgraceful!”
“What a vile racist POS! That statement has no business on TV,” another person added.
“Waiting for the black community to put up an O.J. statue 🫣,” one person mocked.
Yet another social media user told CNN Allison should be fired.
@CNN Ashley Allison is a racist and should be fired as one of your correspondents!

Meanwhile, a video clip is circulating on social media from an interview with one of the jurors who allowed Simpson to walk free.
She admitted that “about 90%” of the jurors knew OJ was guilty of murder, but let him off as payback for the Rodney King case. King, a Black man, was severely beaten by Los Angeles Police officers on March 3, 1991, during his arrest after a high speed chase for driving while intoxicated.
