I’d certainly consider blind jury selection a step in the right direction but I’m not sure the lawyers wouldn’t formulate other easy but subtler race-based questions for voir dire: In what city do you live? What high school did you attend?

One available arrow in the quiver is for Blacks to actively register to vote then show up and not try to get out of jury duty! A stronger arrow? Stop always trying to prove our righteousness in the face of the historical vicious face of a legal system stacked against us! When the game is rigged, the ref is biased toward the other team and the competitors are cheating and getting away with it - Yo’ ass need to play dirty too!

In any case NOT involving harm to another person: Practice our own jury nullification! Here’s how: LISTEN to the voir dire questions and adjust your answers to ‘just truthy enuf’ to pass. Any questions on your personal bigotry or bias? Become a kumbaya, love everybody muhfukka who never saw, heard or experienced anything! When you can see the defendant is over-charged, say to yourself: automatic not guilty on that charge! When you can tell the Officer or witnesses are lying, evidence tainted IN ANY WAY: auto not guilty! When the mandatory minimum sentences are cruel and unusual: auto not guilty! Give superficial vote justifications, then stand your ground! Then keep your Freakin’ mouth shut about it!
