I think we can all find examples of jury nullification based on race with both black and white jurors deciding the fate of a defendant based on race.

As for when jury nullification based on race started, we might want to look back at an era in our history when only people of one race were allowed on juries.

You will get no argument from me on that point, especially in the pre-1960s South.
