If they did get up in arms over this, it would be just another time when they refused to look at factual statistics because as we all know statistics are racist.

Uh....considering they are only a mere 13% of our population, they are over-utilized in this particular case. Not disproportionate in the least.

Black folks in Ferguson are learning a hard lesson on what happens when you don't vote, and even worse, don't register to vote. A couple of days ago, Al Sharpton blasted the Black folks in Ferguson for their low (6%) turnout in the 2013 municipal elections.

You can't be serious. Either that, or you have no idea how juries are chosen.
