Summary

College professor and TV host Marc Lamont Hill triggered conservatives on Thursday when he weighed in on the death of O.J. Simpson. Hill tweeted: “[O.J.’s] acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system. But he’s still a monster, not a martyr.” Hill elaborated and clarified his position — but did not satisfy Jason. Hill and Whitlock argue back and forth for 45 minutes over whether America’s criminal justice system is inherently racist. It's a spirited, respectful debate that includes references to Jason’s all-time favorite TV show, “The Wire.” We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
