re: #152 klys (maker of Silmarils)
I was just thinking that if there were more black folks on the jury - or majority black - that if the vote was to convict there would be a huge uproar from the Blue Lives Matter crowd that it was a racist jury and not a jury of peers and there was no way he could get a fair trial.
But only one black person and none of them will blink an eye if there’s a mistrial. And heaven forbid you point this out, because they’re not racist, not at all!
And again, I don’t know how you have that conversation if someone is so set on a viewpoint that facts don’t penetrate. Or aren’t facts.
/sigh
Black people can’t be fair because they have a dog in the fight, with the victim being black and the perp being white. But white people will be totally unaffected by the perp being white and the victim being black.
Because white is default. White is Normal, and all else is Not Normal.
