Is OJ a Sell-Out

From the documentary many students have been wondering if OJ is a sell-out. He seems to be taking every opportunity to make himself more rich and famous while avoiding anything that could harm his success, for example, speaking up about police brutality or unfair treatment of black people. Although that is a very valid point, I do not believe he is a sell out. I think that all people, to an extent, would put themselves before others and put their success before problems that don’t directly affect them. Human nature is to put your survival and your success over anything else. From an outsider's point of view it may be easy to judge someone for doing that or say they’re selfish or ungrateful but if you were put in the same position you would probably do exactly what OJ did. Just because he is rich and famous doesn’t necessarily mean he owes anyone else. He doesn’t necessarily owe the people that suffered before him and he doesn’t owe anyone that's fighting for black rights. No one knows if he would've been as successful without those people struggling before him but in the end it was his hard work and skill that got him to where he was in society.
