The above statement shows that you are absolutely out of tune with the Black vs White situation that we are facing now.
But I wasn't speaking of the race situation today. I was speaking of the race situation 25 years ago, which is when the OJ criminal trial took place. Though, sadly, this country hasn't improved on race relations all that much in that quarter century.

Without a more cultural awareness, you are unqualified to understand what took place in the minds of the jurors.
Since you know nothing of my cultural awareness you are utterly and totally unqualified to judge me. Making an assessment off just on two sentences is woefully inadequate. But I'm not surprised you jumped to that conclusion.

And, I will leave you with a question: Why do lawyers exclude other lawyers from jury selection? Could it possibly be that mainly lawyers can see through the 'smoke' that other lawyers blow? Don't worry, I do not expect you to admit that either.
It is certainly not the case that lawyers are always excluded from juries. If that were the situation, I'd not have ended up on several juries. Of course it does sometimes happen that lawyers are excluded from juries, and the reasons vary. For example, lawyers are sometimes excluded for the same sorts of reasons any other juror is excluded, e.g. potential biases, etc. And, of course, sometimes a lawyer picking a jury will fear that a lawyer on the jury will have too much sway over the other jury members, a concern particularly for the lawyer with the weaker case.
