I disagree with that decision, but I think ultimately it's because the jury has already been primed that blacks deserve unfair trials (in their favor). Ultimately they were judged by a group of their peers, and that's how the justice system works so it is what it is and it should be accepted. However there is clearly a bias towards black people that didn't exist 10-20 years ago, and it looks like this is only going to get worse. It's going to embolden more criminals, and those who like to manipulate society are hoping this would be the case .
