Cop, mark furman, in the o.j. trial, this really just outrageous comments using the "n" word, caught on tape. so, again, for me, we have to talk about race. we have to talk about class. and culture when we talk about o.j. simpson and it's not just black and white. it's the impact that he has on the african-american community as well. >> listening to all of you, and i want to continue this great conversation, just want to point the viewer, a, to this -- this is the carson city, nevada, room where we're about to hear from these four different commissioners on the decision to grant this parole, s...

Visit him here have also shed light on this. tom for one, who's behind me with o.j. simpson in lovelock, he said that whenever he visited with the simpsons, the guards would jokingly call him the name from the "naked gun" movies. they called him bobble head. he thinks that o.j. and others consistently played fantasy football and played it so well that felix said he cheated off o.j.'s fantasy football sheets and made some money. they also said that he not only ran the softball league and coached it and one inmate said that he was a great coach and led the championship, so he continued to sort o...

>> brooke, can i comment on something. >> please do, yes. >> one of the things impacted to comment on is what the lawyer said, o.j.'s attorney said, which i completely agree with. he said o.j. is a polarizing figure and it's not just polarizing along racial lines, black and white. he's polarizing in the african-american community. o. j. at one point said he didn't even identify as african-american, he was o.j., that he was somehow above race and that he didn't have to live by the same standards as other african-americans did, and many in the african-american community have rejected him and hav...

Interesting -- >> no one has suggested that, kyra. the man's daughter just testified that she loves her father. he heard her make that testimony. >> the other thing to remember is that o.j. simpson was out and a free man from 1995 to 2007. and it was fine. i mean, he did not, you know, he did not have trouble with people on the street. he played a lot of golf. he lived his life in florida. >> he wrote a book, "if i did it." he cut a rap song that was pretty -- >> all of which suggests that being out is a he can ck of a l better than being in prison. and prison is terrible. prison is awful in t...

Suggesting that o.j. simpson would lead a better life in prison than out with his family. that's a little bit incomprehensible to me. he's been away from his family for nine years. he's 70 years old. he deserves an opportunity to reunite with his family and to be given a second chance. that's what this country is all about. that's what the parole system is all about is giving second chances to those prisoners that demonstrate that they are ready for a second chance. >> let me say something about his family, because i interviewed denise brown and i had the opportunity to talk about o.j.'s kids,...
