Let's face it whites are vile and useless...

This might be a problem. There are several counties in the state where it’s a 95-percent white population, and half of the remaining folks are Latino. It’s like going to Salt Lake City....you just won’t find too many minority groups.

I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that whatever blacks may live in that community probably don’t qualify for jury service.

here’s the whole story.

I’m starting to see this ‘too many whites’ nonsense in sports as well. Houston Astros a couple of years ago criticized by the sports media for being too white. Last year ‘why are there so few black men in major league baseball?’. Earlier this year a sports writer questioned why the Patriots didn’t have a majority of blacks. And one pro football coach (Chip Kelly I think) was criticized for drafting too many whites.

I’m sure there are tons of other examples in various walks of life as well. When people complain this is a racist and bigoted country, I agree with them - but not for the reasons they think.

If he gets some blacks on his jury they won’t convict for fear of what will happen when they get back home.

When I worked at the unemployment office in Des Moines one of our people, a black social worker, was on jury duty so often we hardly ever saw her. Of course, we couldn’t fire and replace her, so the other people in the section just had to take over her case load.

Racism killed the victim, let that man go free.

[TalBlack]

And THAT my friends is RACIST.

>>> Let’s face it whites are vile and useless...

I don’t think that was the ‘reasoning’.

The ‘reasoning’ is that whites simply CAN’T understand the special “struggles” blacks face.

Mind, I don’t agree with such nonsense.

Nice knowing that I’m a racist by default...

Hey mr. Blackrobe race baiter, Black Crime Matters.

[Spartan79]

Webster County, Iowa, where Northwood is located, has a population of about 36,000, of which less than 5% are black - less than 2,000. It will be hard to get a jury with any significant number of blacks. Chances are a large percentage of blacks in the county knew and or are related to the perp (sorry, “alleged” perp), the victim, or both.

I wonder. If I’m charged with a crime in D.C., and find myself staring at a mostly black jury, can I demand a jury of whites?

[Paladin2]

Sounds like the witch set him up......

Justice should be blind to skin color, including the skin color of the accused and the jury. And if some pathetic lawyer appeals based on the jury's race, that appeal should be rejected. Accused murderers should be judged based on the content of their character, or lack thereof, and not the color of their skin. Tyrone is not entitled to a jury of 41 year-old black males who hate their wives, just to a jury of residents of the district in which the crime was committed.

[Truth29]

"Kenville said minority conviction rates decrease by 10 percent if a minority is a member of the jury panel."

And that sounds like evidence of racism. If the judge goes very far down this road, we get to the point that defendants need to be judged by a jury that is the same as they are and then the victims can petition that the jury must reflect the victim's status. The legal system has become more and more complex and burdened and this will add another straw to the camel's back.

Cultural Marxism where race replaces class as the new enemy. Kind of ironic now that being a racial bigot is a career enhancer for a Democratic politician, oh wait. Here is a tip folks to help you out, when faced with a Cultural Marxist spewing his race spew just ask them this question, “You sound like a racial bigot, are you?”

Did the defense want to bus-in Jesse Jackson supporters from Chicago for the jury pool?

[stars & stripes forever]

A jury pool is SUPPOSED to be randomly selected. At one time we were all considered to be ‘Americans.’ We would get our jury duty notice and dutifully serve our time.

The system has gotten to the point where the jurors are now on trial. Some have even been ‘convicted’ for well thought out verdicts. The majority of jurors take their jobs seriously. It is a travesty to imply that race will cause people to throw a trial.

The influx of racism by this Administration, community activists, and the MSM has ruined our justice system.

[mrsmel]

So true, so other races shouldn't want to come to the nations which were historically built by us evil whites. Or want to live in our neighborhoods, or use our evil white inventions and technology, or eat the evil food grown by evil whites. I mean, not every place can be the next Detroit, Haiti, Zimbabwe, etc. But we evil whites force them to chase us everywhere when we commit evil white flight, so that we can further oppress them.
