Wow, 12 out of 12 white people are prejudiced! That's quite a statistic! Simpson should sue his attorney for malpractice for selecting that jury. I guess you are saying that only a black person can be un-prejudiced. I have a problem with that.

People who form FIRM opinions with so little knowledge only pretend to be open-minded. They select their facts like food from a buffet. David R. Dow
My dad met O.J. decades ago. Can't remember if he directed him in a commercial or ran across him at a studio. The former, I think. Pop said O.J. was a charming guy. That's also a sign of a psychopath.

So what are you saying? That every trial by jury has to have jurors that are Black in order for it to be fair? Or just for trials where one or more of the parties involved happen to be Black?
What about trials involving Hispanics, Asians, Indians, Polynesians, etc. Wouldn't they also be entitled to jurors from their own ethnic background if Blacks are accorded that right?
I can imagine it now. In addition to finding jurors that are fair, the courts would also have to make sure that every jury will resemble a United Colors of Benetton ad.

I guarantee you less wrongful convictions.
I think a jury should have the gender and ethnic make-up of the district in which the court presides. Prosecutors successfully removed all black jurors during the selection process.
OJ could have avoided this whole mess by behaving in the first place, but OJ was lynched from the beginning to the end of this trial.
