People are entitled to feel how they do.
OJ Simpson was on trial for HIMSELF, for actions he (allegedly) committed which really were not race related, yet many in the black community felt as if they were on trial with him, and prayed that he was let go, even when many of them really believed that he killed that womuh.
I'm sure there were many black people who couldn't care less about the trial.
But this all goes back to not dictating how others should feel. Worry about yourself.
