“Try posting racially inflammatory comments here at FR and see if the mods try to censure you.”
I'm not into “racially inflammatory”, I'm into real equality.
I could care less about the race of the victims or the “alleged” perpetrators. It's the heinousness of the crime that makes special circumstances apply to the penalty phase. Kidnapping, torture, rape and murder deserve the death penalty.
I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy in society of allowing charges of “racism” to mitigate guilt. As for “tainting” the jury pool, If it is a particularly high profile case, or one that has been well publicized in the media to begin with, I'd disqualify any juror that claimed to not have heard, read, or watched anything about the case. They are either liars, or too stupid to be engaged in a trial.

My point is that censorship happens ALL THE TIME, be it for racial reasons or profanity or inciting hate etc.
