White Americans, on average, do not support Black Lives Matter, while Black Americans generally express strong support.

"WHAT TO DO ABOUT BATSON?": USING A COURT RULE TO ADDRESS IMPLICIT BIAS IN JURY SELECTION |
108 California Law Review 233 (February, 2020) |
In Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986), the U.S. Supreme Court attempted to eliminate racial discrimination in jury selection by prohibiting the use of peremptory challenges to intentionally strike prospective jurors based on their race. Today, more than thirty years later, Batson's now-familiar three-part framework is widely considered to be a... |

There is a difference between racism on the part of attorneys and racial bias among jurors. As Justice Kennedy found in his concurring opinion in J.E.B. v.

The term ideological bias refers to general ideas and preconceptions that might cause a witness to favor or disfavor a party.

BIAS AND GUILT BEFORE INNOCENCE: HOW THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION SEEKS TO REFORM A SYSTEM THAT PENALIZES INDIGENT DEFENDANTS |

For decades, the United States has debated the concept of a money-bail system, which has been documented to disenfranchise individuals of lower socioeconomic statuses. Because the accused's financial status is often not assessed during bail and arraignment hearings, judges often set bail in excess of the defendant's financial means. As a result,... |
