X: Study Out On Racial Bias in Juries
X ^

Posted on 08/27/2025 5:00:42 AM PDT by TigerClaws

A groundbreaking study reveals racial bias in jury convictions, “When we break down this study we find that

- Black juries have a 12% conviction rate against black defendants, vs a 59% against whites. So that indicates that there is a 47% interracial bias when you have black jurors

- White juries have a 33% conviction rate against white defendants, vs a 26% against blacks, which actually demonstrates a negative 7% interracial bias

Meaning whites are more likely to convict their co-racial group than they are to convict somebody across racial lines

Whereas black juries have a 12% conviction rate against their own and a 59% conviction rate against white people

will they ever admit that multiculturalism and diversity are tremendous failures?

Or maybe they are a success since they were designed by the commie left to use as battering rams to destroy Western Civilization and white societies.

How often is a jury all black or all white?

I was advised on this by a former prosecutor who move on to private practice as a personal injury lawyer. Take it as a sample size of - one.

It is extremely difficult to get an all-black jury and there is no incentive for prosecutor or defense lawyers to obtain one.

If the defendant is black - the jury will always include blacks. Otherwise, a potential conviction would be instantly reversed on appeal because "racism".

But blacks will usually acquit other blacks when the victim is white. Prosecutors usually plea-bargain such cases down to lesser charges in order to avoid a jury trial. Prosecutors hate to lose cases.

If a victim is black, the jury will always include blacks. That is because a potential conviction is much more likely. Prosecutors want to win cases.

If defendant and victims are white, the racial composition of the jury does not matter to prosecutors. Most likely, the jurors will all be white because it is harder to obtain black jurors, even when blacks are a substantial fraction of a local population.

Same in northern Virginia when they started school busing in the 1969-1970 school year.

You are 100% correct.

And basically no one who says “we want to have an honest discussion on race” wants to have an honest discussion on race and crime.

It’s very strange. In California I got summoned regularly. They knew I was a public school teacher. I never actually got chosen, but I checked in and jumped through all the hoops. But never before then (2004) and never since (2020.)

Let me help you out a little.

The conclusion is not that blacks are racist.

The conclusion is that some blacks (like some whites) are racist.

In this case, we the racist blacks have been isolated for observation because the corrupted judicial system has cherry picked racist blacks to sit on juries.

B.s. blacks are king of the hill when it comes to racism. The study proves it

Was the study about the entire black population, or just black people on juries?

I’m not trying to intimidate you, only to help you think.

The principle here is that of a skewed sample. In other words, since racist blacks were chosen to sit on the jury, the jury will have more racist blacks than the general population of blacks has.
