It was a federal case so the jury was selected from a statewide voter pool.

Actually no. The District it was tried in encompasses Prince George's (where the case originated), Montgomery, Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's County.

Human nature is to be tribal...
Why do you think we separate each other into groups like team sports, to pick our tribe and discriminate the other tribes/teams.

What do sports teams have to do with racism? Racism-as we know it in America, at the very least-is a historical phenomenon that emerged during the era of European colonial adventures in the rest of the world (but particularly the Americas). Intellectually, it was used to justify the enslavement and shipment of Africans to the Americas and the extermination of many of the Native tribes as well. It also served as a useful ideology for the wealthy Euro-American elites-divide the rest of society up into stratified "races" so that people (of all "races", ethnicities, ancestries, etc.) wouldn't realize they were all being exploited by the elites.

Given that historical context, how can anyone say with a straight face that racism is "natural" (what does that even mean? Human beings are social animals who make-and remake-their cultures and their institutions constantly...)

Good for that teacher. Prince George is a racist area - against whites. It's majority black and there's SOOO much money flowing in from them having high paying government jobs (its a suburb of DC). Even in spite of this, the murder rate is high. Go figure.

Well, the jury didn't come from a single County as you stated.

Good for him. The more we whites stand up against this reverse racism and continue to say enough is enough I think the tides will change. Our people are finally standing up to this crap.

It's not reverse racism just because it's against whites. It's racism!

The color of your skin is just another group(team/tribe) the government labels you by..... To get you ready for war with another group(team/tribe)


From the day you are born, the government has you on many teams already.
